Small block strokers

You will need moar fuel line IMO. The stock line isn't enough with a sucking fuel pump. You could weld on a sump and put an elec pump on to push the fuel up front and have the regulator up here. That is what my fish had. It worked at 500 HP. It will get AN-6 lines now with a pump and filter at the rear, drawing from a sump on a new Canadian tank.

I am pulling a set of 13.5 wide ET streets to replace them with 315/60 DRs. Those ET Streets were worthless on the track and after seeing the car get loose like taking off on a gravel lot it isn't worth the risk.

Waiting on the build thread where he gets 550 HP outta a vac secondary 750 carb. Than again, I am also waiting to fire up my 416 with the solid cam.

I'm trying to avoid using an electric pump. I've always run them on my big blocks and with the exception of this last Roadrunner (that has a submerged pump inside the tank now) they've always been a bit noisy. I figure that if Chrysler could put two 4s and three 2s on 440 and Hemi engines with mechanical pumps, there must be a good chance I can still get enough gas to the single 750. But after you had questioned the fuel system, I realized that my lines are probably too small anyway.

I haven't had the car at a track with the M/Ts yet, so I had no clue how they'd perform. When I chose to put them on the car it was more in an effort to make the Barracuda 'look' like a drag car than to perform like one. But of course that was because I was running that 318. Let me know how you like the drag radials compared to the ETs on the street and on the track. If these M/Ts don't last for me, I'll be looking for something else.

We'll have to see what the dyno shows when he's done. After reading what some others sites have claimed to get out of their small block engines, Mike's claims don't sound that farfetched.
