Congrats! Your in the 10's.

But whats up with your MPH? Are you lifting before the stripe?

Normally the spray would add MPH.

I have a bad traction ... Bill you see the pictures of leaf added ??? i removing ??? You do not really know if you still have "bad traction" untill you go back to the track. The changes you have allready done may have fixed some of that wheel speed/traction. The track, if well prepared (s...

Re: 1970 Cuda 4 speed 60 ft problem

I've never been able to determine much at launch on dry pavement with mine. At speed, sure, but not from launch. The surface is just too uneven and unpredictable.

Re: 1970 Cuda 4 speed 60 ft problem

Raffa, looks and sounds GREAT! Sorry I'm late to this discussion, but everything so far is all good advise.

Re: Front End Alignment Numbers

I also use a LongAcre digital gauge, was about $200+. As stated be Speedster turn plates help with caster swings and getting the suspension to settle. For toe I use two 1" square aluminum tubes with two tape measures. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a224/sc68z28/align006.jpg http://i12.photob...
