    lightest wheel that fits a duster ?

    That would be a no-no! Taken from the HoleShot website FAQ "Can these wheels be used on the street? No, Holeshot Wheels are designed and built for legal drag racing only and are not D.O.T. approved." Though I would say they are probably one of the nicest quality and lightest available...

    I have an Extang Trifecta and love it. http://extang.com/docs/trifecta.html Very easy to install and remove, quick and easy to lock down, sturdy as heck even with a foot of snow sitting on top of it.

    Lebanon Valley Dragway is destroyed !!!!

    Bad news man! Lot's of people criticize the track and management but they have really put forth good efforts over the past few years to improve the facility. I think most of the regulars would agree and support LVDs progress. This is really sad. Crazy too....they had repaved the track to...

    M1 SP vs Air Gap

    If it were me I would keep the LD340 that is on there, clean up the ports and gasket match it and call it done. Maybe spend $40 on an open and 4 hole 1 inch spacers to see if it likes it. Bigger isn't always better.

    M1 SP vs Air Gap

    The AirGap will give you better bottom end performance and will certainly still make power over 6000. That combined with the increased torque from the stroker, I would choose the AirGap. The M1 is also taller if that is a concern to you. I've tried both manifolds on my 340 and I like the...

    harley-davidson guys

    Thanks for the compliments guys! Pipes are stainless SuperTrapp's that I had black ceramic coated with the ST aluminum end caps and ran 21 diffuser plates in them. Tail section is a Sreamin' Eagle part right from the dealer (helps to have worked there and have on hanging on the wall...lol). Mine...

    harley-davidson guys

    If you are not looking to get into a large scale performance application that requires lots of parts I would suggest beginning with the 1200 conversion and retaining the 883 heads and cams. I have used both the HD screaming eagle kits and the Wiesco kits. The HD parts are cast pistons and will...

    First time out

    The size of the converter can play a big role in how quick it flashes. Smaller diameter converters will usually get the the flash rpm faster due to the smaller size and less reciprocating mass. This can be important for launch technique. With my old Dynamic 3500 10" I would foot brake the car to...

    First time out

    What were the 60' times? 3500 converter but is it 8, 9, 10" as each will react different and can require different launch techniques timing? initial and full advance, in at what rpm? jetting? Don't get discouraged by initial passes and an et slower than what you think you should run. My Duster...

    How fast have you gone with exhaust manifolds?

    Not all the FAST guys are running ExtrudeHoned manifolds so I wouldn't feel that it is a must. Does it help? I am sure it does, but realize they are looking to squeeze every possible thousandth of a second out of their cars and are restricted to using the factory parts without the option of...

    duster weight ?

    I scaled my 74 at E Town in Nov. All steel, full interior with buckets and console, fold down rear seat, heavy stock absorber bumpers both ends, 340 (aluminum heads and int), 727, 8 3/4. Manual disc brakes & steering. The pig was 3600 with me in it! 73 & up has gotta be one of the heaviest...

    Musclepalooza / FAST pics for ya!

    Thanks Guys! It was a nice show, loved watching the FAST cars run. Would have been even better if I was able to get my car there though! I talked to the owner of the blue 70 for awhile, real nice guy from NY. Believe it or not it is a leaf sping setup under there. He was running a 340 last...

    Running Hot

    Mike, yes, lean condition will cause more heat. Timing will as well. Question for ya. Are you running the bypass hose to the manifold on the M-1 with the electric pump? If not you will have some heat build up from that as well since it wont be moving the water out of the manifold and upper...

    Another new guy

    Hey Joe! Welcome to the board. Nasty looking Duster (not that I'm partial to 74 Dusters or anything). What track do you usually run at? Look out Adam, the Dusters are taking this place over bro! I smell a fish fry :mrgreen:

    CARB SPACERS

    Probably not going to have a chance before E Town next month. I would like to but time is hard to come by these days. Gonna have give it some good ol' "street tuning" Mike, see how she feels.

    CARB SPACERS

    Mike, I am staying with a 1" just going to a 4 hole instead of an open. I can always add the current 1" open spacer below it and see what happens. I'd like to try what Walter did and switch the spacers between runs just to see the results. Once the new combo is tuned and consistant I will...

    CARB SPACERS

    Mike, I ran a 1" open on my old setup which was similar to yours, wasn't impressed. The M1 sp with an open spacer will be soft on the launch, particularly with the little motor and foot braking it. Lots of plenum volume to get moving at lower rpms. I am going with a 4 hole to pick up some low...

    Time to start spinning the wrenches

    Only been to US13 to watch em run. Its a haul from here. Not sure what to expect Mike, this thing launches like a coal barge leaving port. Small motor, fairly heavy car. If it breaks into the 11's with some tuning I would be thrilled. Starting to get bored with it, need something older...

    Mike, yup Eddy's. Dwayne Porter worked them for me. You going to the Nats next month? So you want in huh? I know you moved down to Delaware to avoid running me at the Valley :mrgreen: Adam says he needs a full thermos or something before he can run? I don't get it. Here, I thought you...
