Nice car !! I agree the 60 fts should be at least a tenth better in the mid to low 1.40 range for that E.T. .. my Dart with a 410 c.i. small block at 3150 lbs. ran 6.80s with a 1.42 60 ft but I run a 904 . I slow the car down with throttle stop to run 7.35/ 11.50 for the classes I run and my...

Yep! my current motor .. 410 c.i. ( 360 Magnum block ) ,W2 heads , 585/595 lift cam , 9.5 to 1 compression on pump gas makes as much h.p. on the dyno as it did with 11.5 to 1 compression , stock stroke on race gas and it makes 70 more lbs.of tq. Also my 410 makes 25 hp more than my old 340...

Like the others said ... access holes in the firewall / floor the bolts are hard to get at with the CSR shield even with my small block / 904

Ultimate is great ! I know Lenny sold the business a few years ago to Montgomery.. I have a 92 D150 5.2 ( 318 ) nothing special with a few bolt ons: shorty headers, ram air system etc, T/A shift kit in 518 trans and 4.10 gears with drag radials and swap meet traction bars it runs low 15s with a...

Wow Boosted !! thats a nice improvement !! reminds me of a similar situation for me years ago : my 340 was broken and I threw a 318 in just to keep racing it ran 13.20s ( 318, 360 heads and a 340 cam , 904 , 3.91 gears ) I had a 10 converter .. I put in a Turbo- Action 8 inch ( still have it...

Cool John !!!

All of the previous recommendations are good. I was negligent in my trailer maintenance and burned up a bearing on my enclosed trailer last fall on the way to a race. Luckily it happened near my sis in laws house and I was able to limp there. First time it happened in 23 years of owning the...

I used Brad Penn for many years as my engine builder recommended it and was a dealer. I had good luck with it. He does a lot of research and found that Brad Penn was sold a few years ago and the new owners changed the name to Penn Grade and were skimping on some of the additives to the point...

I understand now that sounds about right .. sorry about the loss of your friend

I have only been to Keystone twice for Mopar races back in the 2000s but I believe your friend died while I was there for one them I remember them saying a roadster suffered a heart attack in the lanes and passed away. R.I.P.

Sounds like something NHRA tech would do to a Mopar racer ! On that note a close friend of mine races a 57 Corvette he bought it awhile ago from a guy that raced it for over 40 years it now has a 383 SBC and runs mid 11s , he was informed late last year that because it has a " removable " hard...

Congrats !!! great Win even with the B.S.

Sweet !!! even better with a small block and 904 !!!

Stock is ran on a full tree , the Super Classes are on a pro tree .. I love the pro tree ! , its pretty much all I do anymore

Good Luck !! as a racer for over 35 years I have many times considered purchasing a weather station / E.T. predictor . I watch several of my competitors using them and they always seem to be off by a few on their dials missing the dial by a few tenths . Could be in their programming ...

Deleted .. already shared

Congrats !!! great feeling paying your house off ! We did a few years ago ,we are always moving money around from bank to bank looking for the best rate. Our main bank always has terrible rates so we don't keep much there. I'm just not looking forward to being forced to start taking money from...

Sorry to hear about that John .. so they were mad that you beat them ? Maybe they should look at their own driving : with a red light and a 247 its not your fault .. talk about a sore loser. NHRA doesn't mess around or tolerate any bad behavior .. at the Division One Bracket Finals a few years...

I have had my trailer for 22 years now and just added winch a few years ago , ( my wife got tired of helping me push the car in and out when it broke so she bought it for me ) my trailer was in the shop for brakes and bearings recently and I had them hook the trailer plug to the winch battery so...

Good job John !!! Good Luck !!!

Bench seat with a T/A Cheetah shifter .. for reference.... btw ..lever on side of the shifter is a starting line rpm controller

I can understand tinting to keep the car cooler, but I have always wondered wouldn't it make it more difficult to see your opponent especially when racing at night ? and if the other car is painted a dark color ? I saw a guy thrown out of the NED Bracket finals for tinted windows or that was the...

Carlisle is Mopar heaven !!! South Mountains owner " Mountain Mike " is a great guy! they really make you feel welcome plus he's a Mopar guy .

Very true .. I attend every Mopar Atlantic Nats at Englishtown all 31 or so of them except a few that were rained out .. I used to go Friday night and stay until Sunday getting a hotel room despite only living 50 miles / an hour away . We used to have a lot of fun !! at least there it was...

Wow ! 9.60s is impressive ! the best I ran was 11.34 with my ported J heads: 2.02 valves, 9 1/2 to 1 compression 20 over 340 , 557 lift Mopar purple shaft cam , 273 rockers , Victor intake , 750 dp carb , 1 7/8 headers in my 3150 lb. 68 Dart.. motor had a lot of runs on it and broke a rod ...

I Want to try and make Norwalk some day , sure looks like a fun meet ! It would be a hike from North Jersey though. I try every year by posting to on a few Mopar websites about my local track Island Dragway Mopar at the Patch race to get attendance up and every year and we only get few Mopars ...

My local track Island Dragway has been operated by a member of the founding family since it opened in 1960 , however the third generation has a different managing style resulting in the exit of some long time racers and good employees . I myself cut back on my racing there last year even gave...

10.40 @124 1.40 60 ft. Footbraking on S/S springs

Traction bars work well on my D150 as they eliminated the wheel hop .( 15.0 E.T.s / low 2.00 60 fts ) My 68 Dart race car had S/S springs for years but I switched to Cal Tracs and my 60 ft consistency improved .

A friend of mine runs a brand x car with an air shifter and has an onboard compressor in the car , I have seen several cars with them . I also saw recently that Biondo Race Products now offers an onboard compressor setup. This would eliminate the having to worry about full CO2 bottles. I...
