    950 Ultra XP tuning on 500"

    I agree with some previous posters. Install an O2 - A/F gauge and go from there. It looks to rich on paper, but you won't know for sure until you get a gauge on it.

    Holley's science vs Edelbrock simplicity?

    Yes, there are zillions of little changes all over the car like that. Just stuff to look better or work better.

    What's the slowest car you've raced in the 1/4 ?

    I loathe chasing. Hard to sit there and watch them drive away....

    Why are people scared of the drag strip?

    Yup, everyone has them to one degree or another. It's how you deal with them that makes the difference. One thing that might help him is to do what I do before my first pass of the season. I check, tighten, adjust, and prepare everything on the car that I can. Check brakes, adjust valves, check...

    Why are people scared of the drag strip?

    Dyno numbers can be manipulated pretty easily. The dyno manufacturer has a lot to do with the outcome. Some makes are more generous with their outcomes than others....

    Why are people scared of the drag strip?

    The drag strip is the best dyno that there is. No correction factors, blah, blah, blah..... It takes "X" amount of HP to move a given amount of weight over a pre determined distance. Fact.....

    Why are people scared of the drag strip?

    Trust me, they will not look good if they are trying to race competitively against seasoned racers. But if they just go to the track with their buddies and "Test and Tune", they will have a blast....

    Why are people scared of the drag strip?

    That's why I have mine inspected every few years by the region NHRA inspector. It's certified to 8.49 or slower. The inspector is sharp and spends a lot of time on it. He has gigged me a couple of times and he brought things to my attention. I make the updates immediately and bring it back to...

    Why are people scared of the drag strip?

    Sounds like me in the 1/8. The 1/8 mark is just about when I pull high gear. I only use 2 gears in the 1/8....

    Why are people scared of the drag strip?

    I understand that. I live in the south and the heat and humidity can be stifling. Sitting in the staging lanes is almost unbearable. Most tracks around here are 1/8 mile. I have to go over 100 miles to the nearest 1/4 mile track. My car is set up for street driving, which lends itself more to...

    Why are people scared of the drag strip?

    Yup, hard numbers don't lie. The timeslip doesn't care who you are or what kind of car you are running. I really don't get why some folks are scared of the truth. The truth is that there are always cars that are faster, so don't get upset about your time. Just build it, run it, and enjoy it.....

    Why are people scared of the drag strip?

    The drag strip is the safest place to run full throttle for a 1/4 mile. No safer place that I know of unless it is an airport runway with no walls or barriers.

    Best drag racing stance

    Pictures will tell you all you need to know. I am at work and I don't have time to explain it. I will say is that the chassis and underneath the car is not stock.

    Best drag racing stance

    The car is sitting on the garage floor right now. I might get it on jackstands this weekend and get underneath it and take some pics. I don't think I have any pics of that on my phone, but I will look and see.....
