I would say it depends on how much air your motor sucks through the filter. For example, I run the factory 71 air cleaner and picked up a decent amount unsealing the lid a 1/4".

I got to get my butt in gear hoping to make Empire. Our first addition to the family sure is a time sucker... Lol

As someone who has cut apart factory cast iron intake manifolds and exhaust manifolds and re welded them, I would not attempt fixing it. You will chase those cracks into areas you won't have access too.

That was always my dream for a f.a.s.t. build, big bore and a touch smaller stroke but that hasn't materialized yet. No doubt I'm sure it has been done dozens of times but 9's @ around 3200lbs is achievable with J's. Not sure what your end goal is.

I guess that could be an explanation of why you are so slow?

Is it possible you have the upper control arms swapped side to side? It may be the angle of the picture but it appears you have a ton of negative caster (upper ball joint forward of center line). For what it's worth I was able to achieve 4.5 degrees of positive caster using the factory...

Eh. J heads can be made to work ok.

Stock'ish? 340.

Use the 1/2" impact everyday. The small and the large. Great bang for the buck. My cordless Milwaukee is more powerful, but I only have to pull that out maybe once a month to get something off the aircat can't do.

Good luck. I waited over a year and gave up. Bought some regular clearance ones and shaved the backside to get the clearance I needed.

Winter updates for me is PRH is spec'ing a new cam that is a touch different. New exhaust system. New fuel system. Doing another intake manifold. Hoping to get it on Dwaynes dyno to try a couple things and do the cam swap on the dyno. A couple issues popped up with the suspension that I...

Luckily for me I don't have a Facebook account. Lol. I don't think the car is all that special, if anything it just shows how stubborn I am when I set my mind to an idea. There are a couple of cars being built that on paper should be easy contenders for giving the duster a run for it's money...

Oh absolutely. I'll take dry air over cold air. But cold dry air... Lol. When we first put dad's AAR together for fast our first track was englishtown nj in November, -1100ft air. Went 11.72, the small block record was 11.57. We were like, oh this is going to be easy. Took 2 years of...

Man I wish we had that when we were down there. It was 82. Lol

Cecil County is a great track. Those guys worked theirs butts off making everyone look good, it was unbelievably hot, but the track hooked so well we made some killer runs. I saw your car and stopped to take a look, didn't see anyone around.
