    Bad news at Orlando Speed World.

    I know very little about junior dragsters or about this accident which is a real tragedy .. if the dragster was still under acceleration at the time of the accident it makes matters worse. I was just thinking now I also know very little about " electronics " but would to be possible to install a...

    Post your best racing related memory!

    After 40 years plus of racing I have quite a few .. I guess topping the list would be my track championship in Street Eliminator at my local / home track in 2013 .. then the following year ( 2014 ) my close friend drove my Dart to the 11.50 index track championship at the now departed Raceway...

    Ignition Advice Please

    I have ran a MSD 7AL2 , Blaster coil , Firecore plug wires and stock Mopar distributor for years on my small blocks . I did however have problems with two different MSD Billet distributors thats why I went back to a stock style one .

    Is there ever "never any more" ???

    It is good to get the most out of a combo and figure out why , I still try little things but its tough as my local tracks test and tunes are so crowded you barely get 3 runs in and on a race day you only get one time shot. When I dyno my motors we try a few things but most of the changes don't...

    Is there ever "never any more" ???

    Yes I ran Pro /Heavy eliminator or over 20 years in a Dart running mid 10s ( 10.40 best ) I spent money on a lot of go fast tricks I really didn't need , most of the parts are still in the car. When NHRA Division One lowered the E.T. range for the class to 9.00 awhile back I felt I couldn't be...

    Does this sound right

    Just an fyi I had two small block stroker motors : the first was a R3 block at 408 c.i. with pretty much out of the box Indy 360-1 heads and intake , a 590 lift mechanical cam at 9.8 to 1 compression it made 502 tq and 527 hp and peak tq and hp was around 6400 , I sold it when the crank cracked...

    Pulling Engine/Trans over the winter....Header Question??

    The first two sets fit well I really liked them ! ... the first set I bought used many many years ago when they wore out I purchased a brand new set also many years ago, they eventually wore out also so I went to TTIS ( I don't care for them ) I purchased a brand new set of Tubular Automotive...

    Magazine cars. How many on the forum?

    Not a magazine but my Dart just had its picture on Bangshift1320.com recently.

    Pulling Engine/Trans over the winter....Header Question??

    Good Luck with your quest for the 10s ! I am the same way the guy that builds my 904s used to run a Stocker for Chrysler back in the early 70s and really knows his stuff and has been doing my transmissions for over 40 years. He does all kind of tricks inside and they must work as the 904 behind...

    Ramchargers Dart

    Thats how my wife bribes met go to the grocery store with her " I'll buy you a Hot Wheels car ! " I was lucky and found two of the Ramchargers Darts ! although technically I don't believe the Ramcharger team ever ran and campaigned a Dart especially painted a maroon color but they are still cool...

    318 1/8 time improvement

    I know that but the gas is a big factor and the air / fuel ratios , timing etc. I don't remember the cranking pressure , I would have to look at the build and dyno sheets. I would like to see the bearings after a couple hundred runs at 12.5 to 1 compression on pump gas !!! I just got my carb...

    318 1/8 time improvement

    Wow !!! the gas must be really good where you are ! I am currently running 9 1/2 to 1 compression and I constantly check the specific gravity of the fuel I buy it usually checks 728-734 where it should be for 92 Octane Super . Lately its been checking at 710 no good ! According to my engine...

    318 1/8 time improvement

    I think its been " stroked " and its not really a 318 but bigger, especially with that much torque.

    318 1/8 time improvement

    The fact that its a " build " tells me a lot of thought went in to it and there's more to the story. Its not some 60,000 mile half worn out 318 like mine was. Yes 12.50s is fast but imagine how much quicker it would be with gears and a converter , say a 10 inch converter and 3.91s and still be...

    318 1/8 time improvement

    11 to 1 compression probably on race gas as that compression is too much for pump gas IMO. A S/S head is a whole different ball game . Why waste your time on a 318 head when you can run an Edelbrock, Indy , "J " or W style head. If you want to make real power put a stroker kit in it. Thats...

    318 1/8 time improvement

    There you go !!! 11 to 1 compression and ported heads , my 360 heads were stock and I am lucky if the compression was 8.5 to 1. I went 11.30s with a 9 1/2 to 1 340, 557 lift cam and ported J heads. Now I run 10.80s with a 9 1/2 to 1 compression 410 inch small block , 585/595 lift cam with...

    318 1/8 time improvement

    Probably had more compression and a bigger cam or was spraying it . I just threw it together to race while my 340 was being fixed. It wasn't really my primary race engine I am sure with more work the 318 could have ran quicker. I sold the motor but wish I would have kept it.

    318 1/8 time improvement

    Just a little FYI ! years ago I broke the 340 in my 68 Dart race car , I bought an original 318 out of a 68 Charger we did a quick valve job , put in a stock type 340 cam and an old LD4B intake, Holley 750 , 1 5/8 headers and the car ran 13.90s with a 3.91 gear. I put on set of 360 heads and the...
