It lives, ready to make some hits.
What’s stopping you from upping the camshaft? .640ish SR would be “interesting”.
it indeed would be. What is stopping me right now is I have an 8.75 rear in the car, and the car is heavy.
My intentions were to go Dana first, then maybe upgrade the motor. I did this backwards.
Frankly, I am getting old and don’t like bending over a hood anymore, and working on it in general. I just like to race. Some of my decisions here are going in the wrong direction…lol
The other thing is money. I own a business, it’s in my wife’s name. I use my SSI to fund my racing, and our vacation. I make just enough to not pay any tax, we file married separately. Everything else is the business. So this season,I have shot my wad pretty much regards upgrades. Now I have to pay fuel and entry fees rest of summer, and couple out of state racing trips. And our vacation the month of January out of the country.
I have zero doubt I could put the right roller in the car, hack the inner fenders for Headman 1 7/8 race headers, and probably get this thing in the 9’s. But I have already done that, have no interest at this point in doing it again , getting license, fire suit, more maintenance, pushing a stock block I don’t want to drive over, Yada, Yada.
At this point, other than a Dana, only upgrade I might consider is 1 7/8 TTI headers.
I have said all along this isn’t gonna be an all out deal, and it’s not. Hopefully I am happy how it runs.
I will tweak it and get it to run as good as it can
