Would a smaller camshaft work better with these heads and intake manifolds that I already have? Maybe a 268/272 .450/.455 purple shaft? What is the max rpm that I can turn with these heads? What about advancing the cam timing 4 degrees?

I race 1/8 mile bracket racing in the street and footbrake classes. I do not care what et it runs, just want it to have the correct power and torque curves. What cam will match these stock heads and a slightly raised compressio. ratio?

I am instling a 1985 model 318 with 302 cylinder heads into my 1972 Duster. The engine has low miles and the heads are in great condition, with new guides installed. I need to know what camshaft I need to run in it. I bracket race it only, so I need a camshaft for maximum rpm that these stock...

Do any members race at Bradenton or Lakeland Florida?

I ran my Duster with the secondaries disconnected on Friday and it was running 9.12-9.15. I couldn't hit the tree very well. I had a .042, .051 and a .068 reaction times. I connected my secondaries for Saturday and I guessed my ET to be an 8.68. On my time run I was .007 and went 8.697. I...

Thanks for buying all of the engine parts. I ended up needing every cent. You are correct as a .001 can be either green or red Nobody can see .001 or .002 on the tree. You just hope that it falls your way. Maybe better luck next time.

I made it to the WFC. I didn't do very well. I had a couple of -.001 red lights and my opponents had a couple of .001 green lights against m. I only won 4 rounds total in 3 races. I met FABO member Bradley Doss from PA there and he won many rounds. Nice meeting you Bradley. I drove my...

I will be there on Thursday also, hopefully. If not, Friday for sure. I will look you up. Nice dart BTW.

Only 5 more days until the WFC 7 begins. Still time to make plans to be there. The pre-entry list is up to 375 from 23 states. Remember to watch it on Motor Mania TV if you can't be there.

I see that the links that I posted to the flyers for the WFC have been deleted. It it against the FABO rules to post the links to events? If so, my bad.

Great reaction times. Almost too good. Very easy to go .o44, not even the blink of the eye.

Congrats to you for making it to the finals and the $$$!! Keep up the good work.

My '75 Duster and I weigh 3225 when we're racing. I have a 360 with 9.5 to 1 compression, stock J-heads with 1.88 intakes, Mopar 284 484 Purple shaft, Crane ductile 1.5 rockers, correct Isky springs, windage tray, Edelbrock Performer RPM, Holley 600 DP, Carter manual fuel pump, Mopar stock...

I love the Pro Tree 7.49 class also. My Duster won't run quite that fast however, so I don't run it. They did have an 8.90 Pro Tree class in 2009 or so and I ran some of those events and won a few of them in the '67 Valiant that I used to have. I have only been to Piedmont once this year, about...

Good to hear that you have your Barracuda dialed in the way that you want. As for the info, better late than never. Maybe some others on the site can learn a few things from this thread. I know that I have. I now know the low and 2nd gear ratios of 727's, 904's and Powerglides. Thanks for...

Thanks Tony. I couldn't remember the exact ratios. I know the Powerglides have 2 or 3 different ratios also, but I don't know them either.

I found this post from 1 year ago. I have been out of commission since last November due to some knee injuries. I finally raced a couple of weeks ago for the first time since last year at Piedmont Dragway and was still in the race for the 6th round with 5 cars left in when the rains came. I...

While we're on the subject of leaving the line in other than low gear, some excellent Footbraker racers such as Tim Griffith and Ed Talbert leave in high gear for a strategic advantage. I don't want to give away their secrets, but you should be able to figure it out for yourself using some...

Please buy my book also. I am a Druid trying to support my racing habit. HaHa.

What is your rear gear ratio? Think of all of the racers that use Powerglides. Two speeds. Their low gear ratios are in the 1.70 - 1.90 to 1 range. What is the 2nd gear ratio in your 727? 1.50 or so??? Not much higher than the low gear of a Powerglide, correct? So if you have a low gear ratio...

There are already 354 drivers entered in the WFC VII. Some of the other Mopar drivers entered in the race are Dave Harvey Jr., Michael Beard, Tim Bowman, Nick Bowman, David Smith Jr., David Stebner, Kevin Locklear, Jamie Southards and Robert Ellison. Check out Nick Bowman's in car videos on You...

They are expecting 400-500 cars at this event. It will be televised live on the internet. It will be broadcast by MotorMania TV. The link will be on Drag Race Results.com. Many good Mopar footbrakers will be there such as Scott Macy, Steve Foley, Seth Phillips, Chris Moren, Ernie Humes and...

There is a bracket racer from VA by the name of Tim Griffith who has won tons of races. He has a small block Vega with a 3.08 gear and leaves in high gear. He definetely knows what he is doing based on his results. How hard do you think it is on his Poweglide or converter racing it this way...

I've done it quite a few times in my 8.20 in the 1/8 mile Duster that has a 3.55 gear and the low gear set 904 transmission with a TCI converter. Instead of stalling it to 2500 as I do when leaving in low gear, I stall it to 3000 and leave in second gear and run it through without shifting to...

The World Footbrake Challenge VII at Bristol Dragway begins 2 weeks from today. Are there any members that plan on attending? I have been to the WFC 3 times previously as a spectator only, but I will be racing my '75 Duster there this time. My car number is 7X5X. See you there.

My '75 Duster with a 360 with J heads with 1.88 intakes, 282 484 purple cam, Performer RPM dual-plane, 600 DP MSD ignition, 1 5/8 Flo-Techs into 2 1/2 Flowmasters and H-pipe, 3.55 gears with spool, 904 with low gear set and TCI $700 converter, battery in trunk and weighing 3200 with me and a...

Thanks for the info, Myron. I was unsure of the IHRA rules in your class. I know some of the other Stock drivers such as Macy, Alford, Beard, Peterson, etc. that I bracket race against in this area, but you're probally my favorite, though I have never seen you race. I read the DRM magazines...

Hi Myron. Do you run a Thermoquad on your Dart Sport in the Stock Eliminator class? If so, how is it modified? If not, what do you use?

You can also remove the power valve completely and block it off with a dummy. You will then have to increase your primary jet size, usually to the same size as the secondary jets, called "squaring it up". This will make your car more consistant, but use more fuel and be running slightly rich...

I run a 600 double pumper Holley on my Duster with a 360 that runs about 8.10 @ 84 mph in the 1/8 mile. My 60' times are about 1.72. At the track where I race on most Friday nights, my car will spin on the starting line. Most of the time I will disconnect my secondaries and run on the front 2...
