You're welcome buddy. I hope this year we get closer to your goals. We still have some work to do. I think we made some good steps. We will just keep plugging away at it.

Work on stiffening the chassis up. Go for frame connectors and a roll bar.

I would check the data logger pickup point. That would be highly noticeable at the gear change if it took 1.2 seconds for rpm to drop that far. I know in my car only going 9.0's things look like slow motion. So 1.2 seconds would be an eternity to me for a shift.

If you are looking at Dart, I can tell you I have the 325 Pro 1 heads and the 355 CNC Pro 1 heads on my car. I had the 325's on a 509 and went 9.50 with them at 3150 lbs. So I think you are right on in the 310 area for a 468 if you choose that route. I did however, buy the castings bare, and put all...

Straight anti freeze does not freeze before a 50/50 mix. HOWEVER, straight anti freeze does not conduct heat as well as water. So in order to get some of the anti corrosion properties and freezing/boiling point modification of the anti freeze and the cooling capability of water you use a 50/50 mix. ...

Its a 548.

Thanks a lot. I don't put a lot of faith in dyno numbers other than looking for gains. We did find 25 hp from how it was last run to how it came off the dyno. I have heard all kinds of dyno numbers, and figured if it made 850, and we wound up at 880 I would have been happy. I was completely surprise...

We ended up at

910 hp at 7100
776 tq at 5800.

The motor is in the truck and ready to go. I'll fill you in tomorrow with the numbers. I am looking for gains over peak power. I know how fast it goes. I need it to run quicker.

I've had 2 bolts with main studs to 7500, my dad had his to 8000. The center caps are a big help to upgrade.

I think you will do much better with a head in the 305 to 310 range. Look at the possibilities from dart,afr and Brodix. Pay attention to the raised height of the exhaust ports.

The answer is no. The rule specifies that the collector can be welded to the primary tube. So it is about a slip on collector. 3 3/8" bolts on the flange is not under the rule.

Glad the spring change worked. Hopefully it throws the front end up quicker.


A little background info. Bruce couldn't believe how soft and bouncy the front of my car was with junk parts. I finally convinced him to look into other springs.

I agree a slower car needs more travel.
