Re: Went to first index race at our track lots o fun.

Hell I checked it out, I didn't realize it was an NHRA track. I don't have an NHRA Lic. or a Chassis Certification for them. Oh well!
That's the one good thing about the IHRA! It's too bad that NHRA won't honor IHRA Lic. at their tracks.

Re: Finally got my 8 second pass!

Thanks guys! I didn't think I was going to get it last night, first pass off the trailer was a 9.07 next was a 9.05, 9.03 I was getting really discouraged, once the sun went down the air cooled off and the track was damn near perfect, and I kept telling myself it's gonna be an 8 it's gonna be an 8.....

Re: Nitrous bottle heaters

I bought one from Matt in Ohio, here's his site. I was a little leary of spending the money on one but after having it now and using the thing I would pay twice the amount for one. It's the simplest and most effective way to keep your bottles warm. Just last night we dropped the bottles in set the t...

Finally got my 8 second pass!

After destroying the transmission, driveshaft and some other misc. parts we got it all back together and were able to get out last night to go do some testing, we ended up running our best pass ever with the car. Lot's of hard work to get her to where she's at now, not to bad for a little small bloc...

Attn. John Heard

Hey would happen to have any pics of your front radiator support and how you went about lightning it and what all you removed?
I'm looking to remove some of the material up there but just wanted an idea as to what all you removed. Thanks!!

Re: What do you think i am gonna run in the 1/4 ?

My car is almost identical to yours, my 434" has 13.5:1 CR, same heads, 1100 Dominator, cam is just about the same, it dynoed 721HP, my car weighs 3420# and it ran a 10.11 @ 133. On a 150 Shot it went a 9.47 @ 143 and the nitrous didn't come on until roughly 300' out. Here are two slips one the...

Re: manual steering vs power steering

You'll save 10# over the power steering box. Here's a post I made a while back about shaving weight off my Nova and what you gained.

Re: Radiator, core support cover

I used to use a 1/2" wide strap of aluminum for mine bent in a similar shape, bolted to the center of the radiator support. It didn't weigh but a few ounces. I'm with John on this one, all I used was some 1/2" wide aluminum too, I think I got 4 oz. of aluminum there! Here's a picture of m...

Re: FUEL PUMP ADVICE

I went with the Aeromotive A2000 for our car after wasting money on several other pumps and realizing they wouldn't work I finally broke down and spent the money and got the one I needed!

Re: Need input on rules please.

Thanks guys! I appreciate the words from everyone and no offense taken by anything anyone said, that's why I posted this. My only point was that though the rules may seem very open I'm faced with a very lmited pool of cars to choose fromwhen it comes to this kind of racing. It's like I told the one ...
