Anyone running a 470 in a dedicated drag car?

7200 is a lot of RPM for 240 heads on a 470 shortblock. If you want to spin it that high then you definitely do not want to go with more stroke. I think you'll have a tough time feeding 470 inches at 7200 rpm with the 240 heads. You might need to put 4.56 gears in it and drop the rpm at the stripe.
Okay, good point. Thanks andy.
Luckily I have to buy tires & still do my tubs so maybe a 32 inch tire instead of 30s may take it down 3-400 rpm at the stripe
