What was the air?

Don't take this the wrong way but the 60' is about a tenth off in my experience. What converter and race weight? You cut those lights every pass and life will be good.

No I'm not here to argue just stating what has worked for us. We use the big holley regulator and 8an to the carb. Yes on e85 at 3100lb.

My aeromotive ss pump has been 1.36 sixty foot and 10.11 et so 525hp I'm not buying that.Fuel pressure guage is rock solid.Carb only has 95 jets square.

I have two vehicles we race on e85.One has the SS pump and the other is a quick fuel 260 I think.Both work great and I'm using 10an from tank up to regulator.

How and where do you guys install the limiters? Guy at the track told me he ties back the two eyelets at the back of the trans to the cross member. Any pics guys?

Great read. What a great life he made and should be an inspiration to every American. Rip

My son and I are both .10 to .12 faster in the 1/8 mile on e85 verses race gas.both are around 6.40's to 6.60's cars

I also have a gas pro system and a e85 carb.Gas carb is great and couldn't ask for a better carb. The e85 carb...well still a work in progress.It doesn't want to leave below 2700 rpms My son bought a quick fuel 750 e85 two years ago and after changing to blue pump cams it has been flawless. E85...

You ever get them mounted? Pics if so please

I second the powerbond dampers.I have two in use.One since 2013 and one with 400 passes on it in the last two years.I just tore down that one to freshen and it all looks great.I also have a trick flo in use but don't recommend because of the markings on it.All are sfi dampers.

Stock a body 8 3/4 that's still in my demon that I'm going to swap out for a Dana.I already changed it to big bolt pattern years ago and with late 90's jeep rotors. I'm well aware of the search function but haven't seen much on the valiant.I think the valiant has less room to the quarter panel.

Good morning, I'm thinking of putting a 275/60 15 tire under a 67 valiant with everything in stock location.Will a 8" with 4.5 back space wheel work? Anyone have any pics of 67-69 valiant rear wheel/tire combos? Thanks

I have a build similar to yours but flat tappet cam with more duration. I assume you have flat top pistons with that compression?Mine only wanted 32 degrees of timing to make the best power. I guess 531hp.

I bought a Tikka t3x in 6.5 Creedmoor last weekend so probably not doing any black Friday shopping. I may just have to focus on the wife and kids for Christmas.
