Nice! Happy accidents are the best!!!

Checking with my body guy on this. Will PM you this evening!

PM coming your way

I don’t know, because I’ve never done it. Here’s some math to consider/make a judgment call from though: The air horns are 8.5” dia., which is approximately 26.7” circumference. At 0.5” clearance, that’s a surface area of roughly 13.3 sq. in. I don’t know your engine, but let’s say it’s a 408...

This setup looks a little cheaper if you’re wanting to try it out: Chrome Velocity Stack Air Cleaner Set of Two fits 4 BBL Carburetors | eBay I would agree that the filter and screen media may be restrictive. So, you could try pulling it to see if the velocity horns alone provide a benefit...

Falls in with the old expression, “dress for the job you want”..?

Thank you sir!

Thank you, he is!!! He’s hard at straightening and shaping the body lines, stuff that’s hard to get good pictures of until primer is laid down, which will be a way off yet. But, we’re back to making progress, and most importantly he’s healthy again!!!

Quick little update, took a few months off after my buddy/body man needed some pretty major stomach surgery. Got the fuel cell mounted:

That’s how I’ve done it, albeit I just use the upper jaws on the caliper rather than my bore gauge for the main journal measurement…just quicker. The fun part is trying to get the lower jaws on the caliper to sit flat on the deck (others who do this more often are probably more efficient)...

Turd looks the same no matter what’s written on the cake

They should stall a little higher when they hook…hook and book!!!

Not sure if I miscommunicated, will try to add clarity: Sometimes they miss. I’m betting he’ll get it right with even more info this time around. Still in agreement here! Yep, and as you said later, getting closer to your peak torque is the path. Should contribute to better ET, but the added...

Looking at your dyno print, I would agree that you want some more RPM to get off the line. And it’ll certainly raise the RPM on the shift to get it there, but they may have to find a bit of a balance. Just make sure to give them all the info they’re asking for (weight, gear, tire dia, tell them...

No, just 904. 10-15% is great for track, terrible for street. Converter Slip = torque multiplication (to the approximate range listed above…too much and it’s just a bad selection). Also, slip = heat of course. I should of course add that this is for the bracket racing we’re doing here. Soggy...

Roughly 14% converter slip across the stripe. Mine was 12%. We both had roughly 1200 rpm on the shift drop, the second shift on the data log I grabbed happened to be a little short.

Just for reference, my Ruster weighed 2830 on the line, 60’ was usually 1.57-1.60, and 1/4 was usually 11.6’s. The Wallace calculators line up pretty close, albeit my car launched a little harder and was softer on the big end (cast iron J’s vs Bill’s much better top end). Never dyno’d it, so...

That’s what she said :lol:

Will be curious to see how the borrowed converter does. Are the combos close enough that you’d expect the 5600-ish stall in your car as well?

Similar enough build from Hughes: #3---Glenn Roberts 360/408 HER2836ALN-7 Thanks for sharing!!!

Also know that it takes a looooong time to get through the event. It’s not like NHRA where there’s a strict live TV schedule to maintain. Finals can (and often do) happen after midnight. Weather delays can push the event to Monday, or the next track. All that being said, and as others mentioned...

Who not change the cam if you’re going to be in that far anyway? Too many variables, no desire, or..?

Do you have more meat passed your peak torque than you did before?

In case anyone has been on the fence, now might be a good time to buy some stuff from QA1. I was also able to use a Summit 10% coupon on top of the rebate on a K member. QA1 - Instant Rebate Savings Central - Free Shipping on Orders Over $109 at Summit Racing

Makes sense, no change to the cam. Should just have better numbers with more air providing capacity to carry more fuel. Glad you’re putting stuff on hold to get the right converter…a decent number of guys would suffer through the season and deal with it over the winter, then start the next...

Me too, for you and me!!! On my way to do some more work on my piece.

Hell ya! Gotta be 10.4’s (maybe 3’s) in the quarter as I imagine you’ve got some top end with the new head mods. Nice work!

I think it’d be funny if you posted it in the hot Mopar babes page and tagged him Hot Mopar Babes III

I’ve struggled when being the chase car and dialed that close to someone…my peripheral catches their car leaving right around when my third bulb light is coming on and I light up that other bottom bulb. Not sure if stock does pro tree or not…never done it, but would probably have similar results.

Saw some 160’s in there, pretty sick!
