A 4" alum driveshaft will weigh about 15# give or take, depending on lengths (non-Nova) and wall thicknesses.

53 front, 47 rear.

Just have Jeff tear it the rest of the way off. Then get out your .080 6061T6 and trace the mirror base on it and cut it out. A couple of stainless finish bolts and end of problem. Actually both rear views together account for 2% of your total frontal area and is worth more than .00001mph. But I lea...

those are nice parts.
with proper clearancing, i would be comfortable turning it to 8500 plus regularly.
i do turn my 406 that hard without rpm related issues.

well done mr. wright.

wish i could have witnessed it in person.

mr. willis.

actually, you can use more timing with methanol. it is very resistant to detonation.
i am saying that with my combination, more timing and more power is completely unusable.

my conventional headed 400 sbc with a procharger and big blow thru carb, will bend the connecting rods with 17* timing.
with 34* timing, it will be so agressive you can't touch the throttle without blowing the tires off.
25* seems about the middle ground that is usuable.

good to see you out bob.
congrats on the new personal best.

hey rick,
will you be at mokan tomorrow?
with tents?
inquiring minds want to know.

John,
The hot ticket for that big inch nitrous combination is a single holley 4781 850 double pumper. it will create super torque and your car will launch like an animal.
Your racing buddy.
Mr. Willis

i had the same problem with my 12 bolt. broke a couple of gear sets. then i put on the support cover and that was the end of the problem. some folks like the billet bearing caps also, but i just have the factory stock caps with the support cover and it is working fine. usually goes low 1.30s or high...

i did the same thing on my production block. works great, no drawbacks even for some street driving.
tip, if you make it a little runny, it fills the voids very well and still sits up very hard in 1 day.

The true 28 x 10.5 M/T on a 10" rim measures close to the posted numbers.
10.5 psi of course.
10.5 to 10.6 tread
88-89 circumference
about 12" on the section width.
The stiff sidewall tires do not grow as much on the big end.

in my runs between 8 and 10 seconds 1/4 mile times, i can adjust the 60' time and total 1/4 et by up to .08 seconds by how deep i stage.

beautiful wheels and tires john!

by the way, do they make longer wheel studs?
