Edelbrck vs Trick Flow
I have held my tongue so to speak on a lot of ur posts .
How do u account for the fact that , the only time I took my car to the strip , before the rings were seated , w/ too small rear tires that didnt hook real well , ''absolutely no front end lift'' , went 11.90`s the first time out , at 119 something mph ___???
not sure what point you are trying to make?
If you are going 11.90 at 119 mph that tells me the car is making excellent power, but not hooking. Usually spinning the tires at the hit will result in a slower ET, but the Mph will still be stout because of the wheel speed generated by spinning wont hurt Mph much..
I tried a radial on a 9.90 car i had bias ply tires on. Went 134.
Took it to track the next time out with radials. Went 10.30 at 133, spinning like crazy. Could never get them to work. ET way worse, MPH almost identical.
Super stock springs didnt like the radial. Took them back off
In the case of the OP, if he is going 7300 rpm at 1000 feet, its pretty obvious it isn't spinning that far out causing the excessive Rpm, its an issue with vert or tranny, something both PRH and OU812 came along and said as well.
Does that make sense, or address what you are talking about.
By the way, rings seat up mighty quick. I had Best Machine build my W5 motor. Took it immediately to the track, first pass it ran was typical of what it ran the rest of the years i had it. Kinda an old wives tale about rings taking hundreds of miles or numerous track hits to seat. Not my experience at all
