    Brainstormin' 440 vs 5.9 ...

    For clarity. I will NOT use NOS. Now that that's out of the way..... the question: Will a bottom dollar 440 out run the 5.9 in our '80 D150. In other words, can I do a max of 500 bucks into the 440 and out run the 5.9 numbers. 440 is an RV engine. I have 2 intakes, a single plane torker or...

    30-day countdown to 12's

    My thought is if I do a countdown, it will help me find the moments needed to make some changes and get this to the track. Really, I'm using this thread as self-motivation, holding myself accountable. I'm determined to get a pass before track closes, and I'm determined to make it a 12 second...

    My honest experience... converters

    This FTI converter is the absolute best converter I've ever purchased. Better than the PTC I bought. And the Hughes, TCI, and whatever else including GER. Comparing the 9.5" PTC to the 9.5" FTI, just on the bench the build of the FTI was cleaner/better. Also, the FTI drives better on the...

    318 - Best Bracket Engine ..... IMO

    I don't understand why in two very popular paying classes of bracket racing you don't find MORE of the engine that makes the most sense. Sportsman and No Box Classes. The 318. Here is why: Money - Isn't it always about the money???? LOL. Cheapest engine. Literally, all the street mopar...

    Time to move the needle.....

    Soon to be 3 years since I had it out. Drag Truck I mean. "Drag Truck" as in it was drug through the snow out of a field. Made it down the full 1/4 at 13.08, 1/8 mile was like 8.23 or something. Been just sitting. Like to move the needle to the 7's in the 1/8 and 12's in the 1/4.

    Is there ever "never any more" ???

    A set combo, with no major changes. "Wow, you did good for your combo! You got the most out of it!". I don't believe that the most has been gotten out of any combo. Not the engine. Not the TC/Transmission. Not the suspension/body. Hidden in all the components, there is tenths..... or...

    Builders: Square engine, Over Square, or Under Square for you?

    Heads Up 1/4 mile Racing. 400 C.I. is the target +/- 3 cubes for all cars. How would you like to get there in YOUR perfect world? What would be your factors in choosing? Or would you build it the same regardless? Truck Pulls, would it change your selection? Family sedan and fuel mileage. ??

    Track Finally Opened....

    Track went hot on Saturday (4-27-24). Because of the wind and possible rain, I left the 318 Duster at home and just took the van down, as always, all in fun. In trophy I went out first round in a "do-over". I had the tree and probably the win but the tower messed up and stopped the clocks...

    3rd Round Exit this year @ NNN

    Had a great time with lots of wonderful people. The van went faster, but that's a story for another day. Bottom line is I had a red light in the 3rd round that sent me to the spectator section for the rest of the bracket race. Ironically, I red lit against "Red Light Ricky" from Jeray...

    Saturday 4-22-23 - I'll take anything better than 12.90's

    '76 Duster fell through the cracks and has been on back burner for about 2 years. Last time out it went 12.9's. Since we've lightened it about 90 lbs. Also, the carb was robbed off of it for our truck, so that's been replaced with a new Brawler 750 DP. Other than that, the car is the same...
