Well it turns out that M1 intakes are quite hard to come by. So would there be any other single plane intakes that are recommended? Victor? Trick flow? Indy?

I'm through the lights at about 6800-7000 rpm

Yea I agree with that, in previous years its cut a 1.75, that's why I'm trying to figure out this combo so I can consistently be in the 11s. What kind of cost is a custom converter, and what do they need, I don't have a dyno sheet for this motor. And as always money is always tight, especially...

Typical 60ft is sadly 1.80 and at the top end I'm at 110.

I'd say the compression ratio is around 9.5-10:1, it still runs on 91 pump gas. The torque converter is an off the shelf 10" 3500 stall. I run the 2 step off a button.

The car has a built 727 with a reverse pattern manual valvebody. I also footbrake the car too, i use the 2-step to make myself more consistent on the launch. The car is 3200 with me in it, typically runs high 11s in good cold air but in our Midwestern summers its low 12s. Am I doing ok time wise?

So I'm looking for some advice on my set up and my launch. I'll ask about the launch first. I'm running cal tracs on my 383 powered dart and just using a 2-step to launch. In my research about launching, most people say to go just off idle, what do you mean by that, are we talking like 1,000...

If it helps I was in the same boat, .030 over 383, talked to Trick Flow and they said they wouldn't clear the cylinder bores. So I went with a set of Indy 440 ez. I'm on a budget so I got the cheapest ones, i.e. smallest port, which I think works well with the motor. Because, in my mind it helps...

After many years and thousands of dollars I think I have a half way decent car to start bracket racing with. My main question is in regards to equipment; specifically a weather station. Did the information that it supplied you help you choose a good dial-in, or do you run more seat of the pants...

I need a bit of help deciding on which cam to put into my 383 that's in my dart sport. As it sits currently it has this cam in it; 21-228-4(Single Bolt) - Xtreme Energy™ Hi-lift Hydraulic Flat Tappet Camshafts And with that cam it made 460 hp and torque in my indy headed 383, but last year at...

So as my 383 build is progressing I have run into a bit of a problem. With the Indy heads and valley plate the EGR crossover on the intake hits the valley plate, and won't let the intake anywhere near the heads, has anyone run into this problem before? I have no problem cutting it off, but if it...

It's the one that Mancini sells, does anybody make shorter ones?

Does anyone here run an ATI Super Damper on their big block and if you do what pulley are you running on the crank because the one I've been using is way off (about 1/2") and am wondering where you got yours, for reference it is a 2 grove pulley that is about 3 1/8" tall and came off a cast...

Oh I've known that and been doing that for quite some time. I was just curious if anybody made it work.

On a side note did any of you guys have to remove your heater to help with clearance of the valve cover?
