New drag car

Not sure on the Rods need to call and ask him. He was turning it that tight and didn't seem to worry. By the looks of everything else he has they are probably good rods, but not sure. The converter I put in it is a 3500 Fairbanks. I took out a 4000 Turbo Action. But it seemed looser ta 4000. Im just footbraking the car, but did buy a 727 with Brake last weekend I may try later this season.

well if its running 6.70 in the 1/8 with only a 3500 stall its runing pretty good. but i would put the turbo action back in it. but seeing how the car is pretty light it might not need a big stall converter to get it moving. I used to run a 8 inch turbo action in my 65 Plymouth that would stall around 5600 with a m1 single plane and a 1050 dominator and would stall around 5800 with a mopar m1 tunnelram. but my 65 weighed 3460 with me in it. but if he was turning it to 7 a lot of times it probly does have the good rods in it. also what kind of fuel do you run in it and what size carb. with my Indy ez heads and 11.1 compression i have been racing my dart on 93 pump gas. man that was a great by on that duster. if i traded my dart that's the kind of duster i would want. my plan is to get my 73 duster under primer and then take the drive train out of the 73 dart and put it in the duster.
