That would be a no-no! Taken from the HoleShot website FAQ "Can these wheels be used on the street? No, Holeshot Wheels are designed and built for legal drag racing only and are not D.O.T. approved." Though I would say they are probably one of the nicest quality and lightest available...

I have an Extang Trifecta and love it. http://extang.com/docs/trifecta.html Very easy to install and remove, quick and easy to lock down, sturdy as heck even with a foot of snow sitting on top of it.

Bad news man! Lot's of people criticize the track and management but they have really put forth good efforts over the past few years to improve the facility. I think most of the regulars would agree and support LVDs progress. This is really sad. Crazy too....they had repaved the track to...

If it were me I would keep the LD340 that is on there, clean up the ports and gasket match it and call it done. Maybe spend $40 on an open and 4 hole 1 inch spacers to see if it likes it. Bigger isn't always better.

The AirGap will give you better bottom end performance and will certainly still make power over 6000. That combined with the increased torque from the stroker, I would choose the AirGap. The M1 is also taller if that is a concern to you. I've tried both manifolds on my 340 and I like the...

Thanks for the compliments guys! Pipes are stainless SuperTrapp's that I had black ceramic coated with the ST aluminum end caps and ran 21 diffuser plates in them. Tail section is a Sreamin' Eagle part right from the dealer (helps to have worked there and have on hanging on the wall...lol). Mine...

If you are not looking to get into a large scale performance application that requires lots of parts I would suggest beginning with the 1200 conversion and retaining the 883 heads and cams. I have used both the HD screaming eagle kits and the Wiesco kits. The HD parts are cast pistons and will...

The size of the converter can play a big role in how quick it flashes. Smaller diameter converters will usually get the the flash rpm faster due to the smaller size and less reciprocating mass. This can be important for launch technique. With my old Dynamic 3500 10" I would foot brake the car to...

What were the 60' times? 3500 converter but is it 8, 9, 10" as each will react different and can require different launch techniques timing? initial and full advance, in at what rpm? jetting? Don't get discouraged by initial passes and an et slower than what you think you should run. My Duster...

Very clean Duster!

Not all the FAST guys are running ExtrudeHoned manifolds so I wouldn't feel that it is a must. Does it help? I am sure it does, but realize they are looking to squeeze every possible thousandth of a second out of their cars and are restricted to using the factory parts without the option of...

I am looking for a good running, useable slant six. I am located in CT. Thanks!

I scaled my 74 at E Town in Nov. All steel, full interior with buckets and console, fold down rear seat, heavy stock absorber bumpers both ends, 340 (aluminum heads and int), 727, 8 3/4. Manual disc brakes & steering. The pig was 3600 with me in it! 73 & up has gotta be one of the heaviest...

Thanks Guys! It was a nice show, loved watching the FAST cars run. Would have been even better if I was able to get my car there though! I talked to the owner of the blue 70 for awhile, real nice guy from NY. Believe it or not it is a leaf sping setup under there. He was running a 340 last...

Here is a link to over 200 pics I took this past weekend at the Hemmings Musclepalooza event from Lebanon Valley Dragway. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/edkusinski/album?.dir=3402&.src=ph&store=&prodid=&.done=http%3a//photos.yahoo.com/ph//my_photos
