I purchased a newly designed transbrake from cope racing transmissions in early spring. I gotta say this is a great product. I was very hesitant to use a product that had never been tried. John told me I would never buy another valve body if I was willing to be the 1st to try it out. I got the...

I got this new designed valve body from John Cope and just tested it at the track this past weekend. It was flawless. Very quick release and instant lock up. I know it is a gamble when you try a new product that has never been tested, but John assured me he will replace it if it ever has a...

Well I decided to use a TCI converter I have had sitting around for years. It is a 10" and it had the part number stamped on it. I googled the part number and read the specs. 3000 Stall. Took the car to the 1/8 mile strip. ET 7.36- 60 foot 1.61- mph 93. Really wanted to match a converter with...

By the way the mopar springs we tested was for a project my buddy is working on. Thought about calling comp, but if those springs are that far off it makes me nervous. The only reason I bought a complete set I was gonna use J heads, but decided they needed a lot of work. The last valve job done...

Mopar I am gonna run them the rest of the year without any valve work done, but would like to get a close match on the springs comp calls for. I been worried about the valve springs. Don't know what to get for the eddy's. Got the comp cam springs that came with the kit and they are way smaller...

This car will see 1/8 mile tracks only.

I don't like to bash anyone because I know everyone has to start somewhere. He had more knowledge than I have, because I know very little about front end geometry, but I could tell he was having issues figuring this torsion bar suspension out. I had my own way I wanted it because it is a strip...

Thanks Jerry6. The rest of the cam specs are advertised dur 292 int. 292 exh. Lobe sep 110.0

I can probably learn a lot after I get it to a strip. Just need to order a converter. I've never ordered a custom converter before. Are they pretty good at estimating what I need with the engine specs I can give them? I scaled the car so I know I will be accurate on that. People tell me they...

I just took my dart to get it aligned and I was there for 8 hours. All new parts q1a upper control arms, with 3 degree of caster built into the a arms. They said they could only get 1 degree of positive caster in it. The guy lowered my ride height without asking me and never made it level from...

Its hard to determine HP without using a dyno, but is there a way to get close figures. I got a 72 360 LA bored 4.040 with stock stroke eagle crankshaft, using eagle I beam rods and mahle forged flat top pistons. Chart on the pistons showed 10.5 with 63 cc heads. The block had about .003 taken...

Well I drove the car around the block. Can't go far in this car, it is race only. Backed it back in the garage, and it has dropped back down. I never messed with the ride height. It is off the bump stops. I got new bump stops and after putting one in place, it has about 1 inch travel. I will cut...

Okay thanks. I will have to search around for someone willing to do it. Had issues in the past getting alignment on a race car. Most places don't like messing with race cars because if there is a failure they are scared of being responsible.

That's what I was thinking. There was some weight removed years ago when I was still racing it. A/C, and power steering pump. Also replaced cast intake for aluminum, and removed beam behind the bumper and built brackets so I could re attach the bumper. During the rebuild I have replaced the...

I have a 1975 dart swinger that is a drag car, will never see the street. I raced this car about 6 years every weekend when it was fairly stock. Its has been in my garage the last 10 years getting completely redone. The front end was rebuilt the last year I raced it so I left it alone. I noticed...
