    wiggle of the starting line.

    I have to agree with a couple of the others on here, it looks like the car is not straight to the track and you will naturally ease it back on launch to straight and the car will wiggle on those 2 ply slicks, looks like you can see some steering input on the front tire in a couple of those...

    Question for you street guys running low 14’s

    Looks just about right to me from memory. My 70 superbee 383 ran about the same, low 14's at about 95-97 with a stock convertor and 4.10. Don't remember the 60 was slow with the vac secondaries and we didn't have all these "other" times on our slips back then,lol

    Jacking question/ caltrac

    I'm guessing I'm changing the spring rate/load somehow? Would the stiffer side come off ground 1st or the softer?

    493 carburetor tuning question

    I don't know alot but i'll through my 2 cents in. The main jets should not have any real bearing on what your describing. It sounds like you need to balance your transfer slots on the primary and secondary to help get some more air in. You may need to get some holes into the plates but thats...

    Parts id help, valves

    I got a box of valves that came with some w2 stuff I got but i'm thinking may not be even mopar. I'm measuring 2.25 and 1.80 and about 5.9" length. Do the w2's take valves like that. I know the eddy rpms etc don't. Hoping some of these head gurus on here can help. Thanks

    Convertor adjustment for new combo

    I dropped my gear from the 4.30 back to 4.10 to help bring the rpm down a few in the traps. I may try shifting back to 6400, so far going from 6600to 6500 seemed to have no effect. My drop back is to apprx 57-5800 on the shifts so its a small window. My heads are just the "stage one" deal from...
