This is all good stuff. Forgive that I don't keep tabs on the combo but offer suggestions. In my mind, the parts combo I thought you had were doing well making 575 with the small cam. In retrospect a high compression, ported aftermarket head 4xx" with a cam better than a flat tappet should make...

Congratulations!!! I'm sorry I missed this post.

OK I didn't realize that. Yes, if he's gotta get his tuned-up, he should aim higher in stall. I'm not sure that'll get him into the 9's but I'd guess the weight being just over 2800? so if there's 575HP somewhere it can get there. If over 2900 then he might need more parts.

IIRC going back to HIS thoughts, he was going to spray it at some point. I think he even has a system for it. That will make the converter 'better' to the application in itself. Changing cams and their respective hardware is pricy in a few ways because the cam profile it'll like is probably...

I was quoting a ?funny/famous? scene from the movie Joe Dirt. I maybe should have more fully typed; It's like the positraction on a Plymouth...it just works.

Nice work! Looking at the one video, the initial hit is still a touch soft. Try some accl pump cams and shooter tuning and you're there! After that, I'd almost leave things alone and hit it with some spray if you want to have more fun. It's proving to be a good combination

Looking good John!

This pic has caused much controversy in debating where to use the prop valve but, it works for me (like a positraction diff)

Run as much hard line as possible! Here is a pic showing how I ran a Tee to cross-over to the pass side. Then flex to the calipers from tabs on the frame. Make sure you avoid any binding or entangling over all movements when routing 'flex' lines.

Engine dyno or chassis? I use Wallace a bunch and think it's a reasonable predictor. Instead of sifting thru the older posts I was hoping he/someone could summarize the info. The best I saw was 104 in 660ft so, knowing he probably hasn't eeked all available MPH from it, that's promising...

Funny but this post never got set yesterday. When I logged-in it was still in the que so, I hit enter...looks like a few have mentioned the same points about video on the tach 'hillbilly data acq". But still I'd be interested to know the weight and MPH in consideration of the weather. I'd also...

Havent watched the vid but it might show 'fall-back' rpm? Yes I'd be curious to run the numbers thru something like Wallace to see where you're at. Weight on the line and MPH are a good start. Based on the little I know, I'd expect the engine parts would make less than 600HP.

Good work Boosted! I agree in what seems to be the theory/direction you are choosing going after the converter. No doubts the motor is making more power because the front half ISN'T there but the 660 ET/MPH is promising! While it might be interesting to know the current ICL, I'd probably leave...

BME 6.76 rods new. JE mini-dome pistons and pins(solid so can be removed) VGC probably can reuse rings. Std/std 440 crank needs 10/10 clean-up. $1200.
