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. I'm no expert, but I've been where your at. 7 years ago I took my street Camaro to the track, it ran 2.+ 60' , 12.+ second ET @ 131 MPH, with similar power to yours and weighing in at 3710 lb...

Re: 1970 Cuda 4 speed 60 ft problem
That looks great ! Did you have a chance to get a weight on the original exhaust setup, to see what your weight savings was ? It'd be interesting to see the difference. I guessing you should be able to feel the difference in the bottom end, at launch as you run through the gears. Wik , exhaust weig...

Re: 1970 Cuda 4 speed 60 ft problem
Raf, For your first burn-out, prior to your first run, I'd recommend you get your slicks nice and hot - make a lot of smoke. After that, burn them just enough to make a bit of smoke to get some heat in them. I mentioned before to try and get some HD video of your ride launching, down low and off th...

Re: 1970 Cuda 4 speed 60 ft problem
Let me start by saying that is one nice car! But are you sure you dont want some big ass tires, and different suspension? Nothing wrong with cutting aup a good car, it makes them better! Here is a before and after of mine. Also it was said to remove unnecessary front weight. Are you using an alumin...

Re: 1970 Cuda 4 speed 60 ft problem

And if you are going to use a street clutch in the car you have to try and bog the engine a litt...
