Average et almost a tenth faster eighth mile but absolute best et was equal for me no faster.

Ha, not very often, but they are unhooked and pulled up in the picture.

Old car looks a little different with these. Got my old set of Alumnastars Powder Coated black, it looks a lot different.

The Jegs part number for the 6 clutch piston is 206-COA-12826, thats for 6 stock thickness .100" clutches, I always liked sticking with the .100" clutches, they are more robust than the thin ones. Also you have to have a steel clutch hub for high gear if that's not assumed already.

I have been running a glide at that level for about 18 years now. I use the 6 clutch upgrade in the stock drum (it holds up great), you need a good preferably 300M input, and turbo spline (if not it will break), and a good planetary, stock 1.76 can hold up for a long time but most of the time a...

Hughes should be able to tell you if your converter has the bushing.

Maybe I shouldn't have put it that way, (response to "UNLESS you purchase an outrageously expensive converter that has a support bushing build into its casing"), my point is I have never had a converter that didn't have the bushing, therefore usually you won't need the stator tube bushing, but...

Just reading your thread, and had one comment, being a racer, I don't normally purchase "low end" converters but I have never had a race converter that didn't have the bushing between the drive cover and the turbine, which locates the front of the input shaft and negates the necessity of the...

I had to do some repair on my 71 Duster driver side fender and the stripe was sacraficed in the repair. I need to replace the stripe that was on the driver side fender. What are the odds that I can get a stripe to match and just install/replace the driver side fender and not replace the door...

Ok, here's some opinions, take em or leave em. I don't like low band apply valve bodies due to shift timing difficulties. I wouldn't really want to race a 727 without a billet steel front drum. I would never use a carbon fiber shield, I would use a blanket. A 12 element bolt in is a step in...

Quote "Not an 8 sec. car, best 1/4 et is 9.13 with a 5.78 eighth mile et. The best eighth mile et is 5.72, which should equate to 9.0's but not in the 8 second zone. Cam is Comp 650 324 with 1.5 rockers on race gas." Maybe it is an 8 second flat tappet car, this past weekend at Edgewater, at...

I always had figured about 120 lbs per tenth. Good air of course can make a big difference.

Had a good season. 1 regular race win, S/P race of champs win, King of Track win (Wally), 1 quick 8 win, 3 runner-ups, 3 semi's, and a couple of good rainout splits. Ended up in the black on spending for the year by about $400. Had a lot of fun ! The only casualtys were a MSD 2-step module...

Yes, to the floor, never heard of any other way.

Not an 8 sec. car, best 1/4 et is 9.13 with a 5.78 eighth mile et. The best eighth mile et is 5.72, which should equate to 9.0's but not in the 8 second zone. Cam is Comp 650 324 with 1.5 rockers on race gas.

M347, AlterKtion, coil over no torsion bars. I can remove the driver side header in about half an hour, less if I thrash on it. The passenger side is in when the motor goes in and comes out only after lifting the motor but it doesn't need to come out for anything so it works well for me.

Well, I have an aftermarket Kmember and a removable steering column so its not bad for me, but if you have a stock front end and column, that does look like a bear to get too. Additionally, my application being a race only car I would not have good input on that for a street application, but my...

They have their advantages, I just got tired of the turning issues. I had a set of Stahls that I could remove in about 15 minutes leaving in the spark plugs, that was great. I also run a 27" front tire, and when I decided to lower the ride height 2" the fenderwells just wouldn't work at all...

Have you considered TTI chassis headers, that's what I run after years of using fenderwell and semi-fenderwell headers. If you are planning on the ride hieght of your car being low at all you will fight turning radius issues.

Are you sure the switch isnt trying to set again, thru vibrations or launch G's, sounds far fetched but I have seen it happen before.

What kind of button are you using for the transbrake ?

What transmission ?

I do, with Indy heads and and Indy Maxx block (low deck). They didnt fit cause they hugged the block so much, the wider pan rail of the Maxx block hit them, I put 3 degree blocks between the headers and the heads that tipped them out and they fit with no clearance dings at all. I also use a...

Lookin good. What's the details on the 499?

Griner is the Master, been designing and building brakes longer than anyone. His design is what got Coan the patent for the brake. Griner's will release faster. A junk design will be a junk design, billet or not. Griners in not junk, its the best performing brake, faster release, equal...

Both brakes are good, Rick is very good and very good to deal with but Griner's is the best. You just have to look at each side by side. Griner is a billet design, A&A is a modified stock valve body. Again, both are good, but the Griner is the best.

No tunnel ram here either. Single 1050.

I have always sealed mine. On one setup I had a long time ago, I back to backed a .12 second improvement with the air pan sealed. Although this was without changing any jetting. I suspect with proper jetting in each situation that the difference would not be as much.

Thanks, great to be here, looks like a great place. Its a big block 540 lo deck glide car. I run mostly eighth mile, haven't ran much quarter, the last time out with a 5.82 eighth mile it went 9.18 in the quarter, but the best eighth mile ever was a 5.72 @ 118.77 in very good air...
