Looks good, nice job!

If I were doing it again I still would not go crazy looking for fire retardant or fire proof foam. Its not like you're building a car out of it, it's just not that much flammable material to worry about as far as I'm concerned. When it comes to fire prevention in my cars, I put lots of time into...

Looks good. I never gave any thought to fire retardant foam when I did my setup. I went to Home Depot and bought foam and used it. My only thought was to stop sucking hot air into the engine.

Here's another option that lets you skip the hood scoop. This is on my street car. The air cleaner is Spectra. I bought it from Summit. $120, it comes with one snorkel on it and another one in the box that you locate and weld on. It aluminum. To be honest its a little on the small side so it is...

You're welcome. Also "electric fuel pump was a typo. I meant electric water pump. I did not make any changes to the electrical system at all, the hood scoop setup made a big difference. I think its fairly simple. After the first run the air temp in the engine compartment goes way up and if...

I can't figure out how to post links on here but its on facebook. That's where I found out about it. Its Friday night and all day Saturday.

I had a bracket car that had the same problem. No hood scoop, just an open element air cleaner. First run off the trailer would be 11.60s, then after that it would slow to 11.75-11.80s. I installed a hood scoop and a pan attached to the bottom of the air cleaner that sealed to the hood with foam...

I'm driving my 440 Duster there and hoping to get it into the 10s. Hopefully I'll see plenty of Mopars there! Zmax rarely runs events like this.

Yup, same thing I do. Doing a cage or roll bar is one of those tasks where you don't want to charge in and get ahead of yourself. Planning and sequence are the keys to not getting stuck with welds that are a problem. I've never cut holes in or cut off a roof. I also have a mini TIG torch by Weld...

Complete Cal Trac setup on mine. Mono leafs with Calvert nine way adjustable shocks on rear and Competition Engineering shocks on front. Mickey Thompson 275-60-15 drag radials. 575 hp 440. So far I have not touched the adjustments from the initial setup which is, front shocks on loosest setting...

I should also mention that there is one trans builder who told me the Pro Ratchet is junk. The name starts with an S, the last letter is an R and the letter M is in between the other letters. Their claim was that its not precise enough and if I bought a trans from them they would not warrantee...

I've had both. Pro Ratchet wins all day for me. Nothing wrong with the Quarter Stick, it's just that the Pro Ratchet is more simple to use and every bit as effective.

Are you going to go to the store and get milk and bread with it?

This is the first time I've ever heard anything about this. Ridiculous, I think it's not even worth thinking about.

I forgot to mention it runs 11s with a best of 11.68@114 and its very streetable.

You could also switch to an overdrive trans and run more gear like 4.10s. I built a 440 Duster and made the leap of installing an A-518 overdrive. Go to my picture gallery and see the work involved. I have 4.57 rear gears and with the .69 O/D ratio it makes the final drive 3.15. The car is an...

I'm driving my 1970 440 Gold Duster up to Lebanon Valley on Wed Sep 3rd to race. If anyone else is going let me know. I took th car up in July and the best time was 11.68@114. I trailered it up and a buddy called it a trailer queen. It's a street car so I'm going to make him eat his words. To...

Going fast without spending alot of money is cool. One thing that gets over looked is safety. Running 9s on a stock shortblock is certainly possible and I've seen at least one Ford racer doing that with a mod motor and a super charger. I'd be concerned about ventilating the block, especially...
