A suggestion fromme would be to try TRW springs for a V-8 Monza with A/C. These are taller but, with the added weight of the BB, they might just be your ticket to success. After you let the springs settle and the car somehow sits too high, then trim with cut-off wheel only, not torch. I'm sure you'l...

car back from paint mid sept i plan on atacking tulsa again. the car will be easy to find butter nut yellow.. i have had three red ones..mr peters you are the first one to agree with my thoughts on moving the lower bar in the car... using the first upper hole in the no hop bars the IC is 72 in out ...

OK, OK.......I give in. LOL!!!!! Dump the Dick Miller stuff. That set-up is all cool and fine for the 11 sec. crowd but, you're making too much power to run that I/C. Use the factory attachment points and adjust your ride height so the lower suspension link is parallel to the ground or even 1-2 degr...

Yep, good info John. Hope to see you at WIR tomorrow.

Finally, the answer to the "burning" :P question. Good job Gearjammer. Here's an interesting one - ***WARNING*** UNDER NO CONDITIONS IS THIS POWERGLIDE TO BE NEUTRALED DURING SHUTDOWN,RIDE THE TRANSMISSION DOWN IN HIGH GEAR ONLY.FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY POSSIBLY CAUSE EXTREME DAMAGE TO TRANSM...

Don't watch me. I'm a newbie and am going to be in way over my head with this new car. I haven't been down the track in years.

Once the tires get spinning good let off the line lock and roll out with them spinning. Lots of cars will start to get sideways if you just sit there. Yes, I agree but, don't be too helpful John. Not good to let all secrets out for everyone to see. I prefer my competitors to sit in one spot and roa...

What are you doing wrong if the rear of the car drifts ( in my case to the drivers side) when you start your burnout? I have a spool and the car launches straight. I pull into the water, put it in 3rd (th400), push the line-lock button the hit the gas. Your car may have preload in the suspension wh...

I'm thinking helium. Would be lighter too!!!! LOL!!!

I can see it now........racers letting air out of their competitors tires and then offering to let them use some specially formulated "hydrated air".

John, have you called the welding supplier yet? "Hey Fred, someone's on the phone asking if we have dry nitrogen".

Glad you found an honest guy to do the repair. Probably a lot of places would have replaced a few items. You gonna bring the big generator in that new enclosed next season so we can all plug into it? I've got a microwave and some floodlights that'll need some juice. LOL!!!

Well goll-dang Harold, hope you bring the grill and the steaks too!!!!

I thought it was a crappy post!!!! I was waiting for him to turn loose some of those PK Racing Engines secrets!!! LOL!

Someone do me a favor this Saturday and put a whuppin' on Mike G-Whiz if he actually has the cojones to drop down into R/S. PLEASE!!!!!

ENCLOSED!!!! Yes, that's right boys and girls, John was feeling guilty about towing his 8 sec. Nova out in the weather so, he bought an enclosed trailer for his baby. Don't think I'm not a little jealous John but, you do deserve it!!! Remember, I get to pit on the shady side.

I don't think I would use 17:1, but something lower, say 15:1 would be nice. Problem is with the big blocks is getting the right piston. 13:1 or slightly higher is probably all your going to get with lower cost pistons and open chamber heads. You'll have to angle mill/turn the heads and get custom ...
