    727 shifting in drag race??

    Yea, I don't plan much for next year as far as changes. I will get some new drag radials or drag slicks, in 275/60-15 instead of the 255/60-15s to fill out the rear wells. The engine and chassis are close to ideal for how it was originally designed, but the cam was designed with nitrous in mind...

    727 shifting in drag race??

    We finally got the Scamp to the dragstrip. 2 of my sons raced it. 6 runs total and we finally broke into the 11 seconds with a 11.727 and 11.710 runs. The runs were very close by each son. The older son won by a tenth of a second. That was our mission. Get into 11 seconds but not 11.49...

    727 shifting in drag race??

    No, he bought a truck. We built the scamp together and I told him that he can drive it any time he wants. He has 4 young girls under 7 yo. He needed a truck more than a challenger. So he gets the best option. He can drive the scamp whenever he wants but does not have to store it. It stays on...

    727 shifting in drag race??

    Funny that you should say that. That is my oldest son. It was a staging issue that he was not ready for and just got caught asleep at the switch. He was quite unhappy with that performance. He sold that challenger.

    727 shifting in drag race??

    I think that was 12.4. Our best is 12.2 but that is just letting the transmission shift, and do so badly.

    It is a bm quicksilver shifter. The transgo 2 allows for immediate manual shifts.

    727 shifting in drag race??

    The recommendation of 5800rpms was given to me after reading the datalogs from the Super Sniper EFI by Master Engine builder Andy Finkbeiner. He was kind enough to review it on the Holley Forum a while back. Thanks again. Hopefully the rain holds off this Friday. The last day of the season is...

    727 shifting in drag race??

    Thanks for all the help here. I am familiar with the 1st gear issues. We will avoid that at all costs. When shifting, do you let off the gas or just keep the pedal down? Kind of a dumb question but my manual transmission brain is confused.

    727 shifting in drag race??

    VERY amateur racer here. I have a 440 stroked motor in my 73 scamp. I rebuilt the transmission and put in a Transgo2 shift kit. This year we have only had it out to the track a couple times and allowed the trans to shift automatically. It shifts quickly 1-2-d which may need to be remedied...

    Viking settings and other Questions

    Track was very slippery today. Many cars had to shut it down or get off the throttle because things got squirrelly. We ended up slower ET but faster trap speed. Also the 60 ft sensor was not working but it didn't matter with 95* heat and no prep. Fastest was a 12.5 but at 114. and change, I...

    Viking settings and other Questions

    No-Prep Racing in Spokane tonight

    I am unsure if it was spin or fan belt. I heard the fan belt squeal when we revved it in the pits but I didn’t bring tools. Doh.

    No-Prep Racing in Spokane tonight

    We watched a few races and then another spill, so that meant 30 more minutes before racing. The AMC was really fast and screamed down the track. I did not know it was on spray. Let’s connect next time.

    No-Prep Racing in Spokane tonight

    Racing was good while it lasted. Track had some spills and cleanup took forever. We were in the first race down the track and unfortunately the timing system did not pick it up. Second and only other run was good for what it was. Car launched straight and accelerated smoothly. No tire slip...

    No-Prep Racing in Spokane tonight

    I am pretty new to racing and want to get some setup recommendations for my Scamp. The track has been closed for 2-3 years due to sale and renovations. Today it opens for no-prep and test and tune. 2 years ago I had my car on chassis dyno and it had 409 rear wheel HP, 430 or so TQ. Later, I...

    [FOR TRADE] 1.6 Roller Rockers for 1.5’s

    These are 1.5 ratio. I changed to 1.6. 440 source. I will let you have them for shipping cost plus $50 packaging and handling. The shafts have wear and I would not advise using them. Just use the set you have. For less than $100 you would have 1.5s

    Intellitronix Fuel Gauge Reverse

    Fwiw, I did not follow the instructions to the letter. I did use the existing wire in my dash wiring. It was working fine to begin with. I have a tanksinc fuel injection tank and their sender. I did not want to run a new wire under the carpet and seats. To me when it gets to 60 I am on the...

    Intellitronix Fuel Gauge Reverse

    Mine also counts from 0 to about 70 and I have to put in 16 gallons of gas. I meant to check what the capacity of my tank was but I forgot. Time to check that now. I carry extra gas in the trunk, Trufuel from home depot as an emergency. It sits in the spare tire well.

    Firstly, Medicare does not pay for dental services unless you have a Medicare advantage plan. If you have one of them, then you have an insurance company that administers it. A dentist may or may not be in network for that plan. If, for example, Metlife is the administrator of the Medicare...

    That is what it takes to be a dentist. A requirement. You can do a residency after you become a dentist to learn more skills or you can go on to specialize in limited fields like Oral surgery, Orthodontics, etc.
