Tom, there are those posting on the net that think they know and refuse to accept the FACTS!

THE PROOF IS IN THE PERFORMANCE

Tom, IF you really want help and want it from one that KNOWS, who has over 4000 passes on a Chevelle and who has gone 1.28 in 60 feet off the footbrake launching at 2500 and through a full exhaust with a bolt-on suspension, you can contact me at 1320racer@optonline.net

I can get your car dead hooking EVERY pass with the least effort and $ where the 60 foots vary .00x from pass to pass!!

Meanwhile enjoy some highlights from my '07 season and remember you're looking at a 700+HP PUMP gas 468 in an ALL steel Chevelle with full factory interior, power steering, power brakes running through a full exhaust and the battery is still up front in the stock location that don't have drag shocks, trick springs, air bags or an anti-roll bar nor has the wheel well lips been rolled!!

and here's one from Sunday, the 6th pass on my new 850HP 522 with a 1.250 bore restrictor plate in use under the 4150/1000HP carb...

So why do you deep stage every pass ED? I know if I deep stage with my car it gets 1.25 60' foots but that in my cut-up p.o.s. chevelle as you called it ED!

Do tell the class what deep staging is and how/IF it effects your 60 foots! :lol:

I deep stage EVERY pass in competition, what's your point!

Tell the class for what purpose and what it does if anything since 68 chevelle clearly doesn't know! :roll:

I asked that this thread be kept on topic which was Tom's car. Ed if you want to brag about your car or yourself start a new post.

I'm locking this one now. Ed I'd appreciate you contributing vs bragging here at DragStuff, I know it's hard but do give it a try.
