    Looking for advice/tips

    Well it turns out that M1 intakes are quite hard to come by. So would there be any other single plane intakes that are recommended? Victor? Trick flow? Indy?

    Looking for advice/tips

    Yea I agree with that, in previous years its cut a 1.75, that's why I'm trying to figure out this combo so I can consistently be in the 11s. What kind of cost is a custom converter, and what do they need, I don't have a dyno sheet for this motor. And as always money is always tight, especially...

    Typical 60ft is sadly 1.80 and at the top end I'm at 110.

    Looking for advice/tips

    I'd say the compression ratio is around 9.5-10:1, it still runs on 91 pump gas. The torque converter is an off the shelf 10" 3500 stall. I run the 2 step off a button.

    Looking for advice/tips

    The car has a built 727 with a reverse pattern manual valvebody. I also footbrake the car too, i use the 2-step to make myself more consistent on the launch. The car is 3200 with me in it, typically runs high 11s in good cold air but in our Midwestern summers its low 12s. Am I doing ok time wise?

    Looking for advice/tips

    So I'm looking for some advice on my set up and my launch. I'll ask about the launch first. I'm running cal tracs on my 383 powered dart and just using a 2-step to launch. In my research about launching, most people say to go just off idle, what do you mean by that, are we talking like 1,000...

    Trick flow 270s or 240s on a 383?

    If it helps I was in the same boat, .030 over 383, talked to Trick Flow and they said they wouldn't clear the cylinder bores. So I went with a set of Indy 440 ez. I'm on a budget so I got the cheapest ones, i.e. smallest port, which I think works well with the motor. Because, in my mind it helps...

    Beginner Bracket Equipment Advice

    After many years and thousands of dollars I think I have a half way decent car to start bracket racing with. My main question is in regards to equipment; specifically a weather station. Did the information that it supplied you help you choose a good dial-in, or do you run more seat of the pants...

    Looking for advice/insight on car

    I believe the initial is at 18 and it's all in by 2500 or so, I didn't change the springs or the bushings from the factory, I can't remember exactly and it's put away for the winter currently, while I work on other projects. As for the torque converter I bought this one because I was short on...

    Looking for advice/insight on car

    It leaves soft I guess, from the pictures that I have of it leaving it is getting a bit of the weight shift but not much, if I left any higher then 1500-1700 or so it didn't like it at all, it's not that it was spinning them it just felt slow out of the hole. In my searching and looking at...

    Looking for advice/insight on car

    It was happiest leaving the line around 1500 rpm, anything high and it would be slower honestly my 60 ft would go up to 2.1-2.2, as for shifting I'd shift at 5700 and through the traps at 5800-6000. Mancini lists it at 3500 stall. And I honestly don't know if it was slipping, I don't know what...
