340 x-block vs. 410 stroker ?

Okay I'll try and address these at a time. yes my car is a bit more of a strip car has license plates on it and so forth but I have stripped the bumpers off the hood off the interior out but I have welded in a roll bar and well that in some other things too to make up for the weight of the Interior a little bit. As far as my two four barrels compared to YR's one 4 barrel I would switch manifolds and carburetors with him for the race no problem. I know my dual quad tunnel ram is more of a showpiece than an actual good functioning carburetor. And I may have been recently drag racing over the last couple years a little bit but from what YR says he has a vast knowledge and experience with drag racing. I think my car would be literally unsafe with street tires. I think everybody's missing the real key here the hillbilly doesn't have a lot of experience doing head work, and YR is a cracked Machinist he probably has his heads flowing quite good. I can have all the cubic inches underneath the heads and all the carburetor I want above the heads but they can't neither one of them make it all squeeze through the tiny holes that my head's have.


You can run slicks if you want to. If you don't feel comfortable on DOT's then don't do it. I ran slicks on my Demon years ago and just tore the **** out of it. Somewhere I have a picture of it pulling the tire at PIR. But, it started cracking the paint at the B pillar, tore the rear seat bracing out of it, started pulling the front spring eye mounts out of round and some other crap up front. I should have never A) put slicks on that car and B) never sold that thing. I was the second owner of it. But I was young and stupid. Plus, the clutches I used back then were just stupid.

I think if I'm careful I can get the car to run pretty easy mid 11's on the DOT's and not kill the car. On bite, it might run 11 oh' but then, **** starts getting torn up, I need a roll bar and away it goes.

I'm trying to preserve a fairly well preserved day 2 car. And my sanity.
