Its going to be 51 at sunset tonight. Is it too cold to expect a good 60 foot time?

So on August 24th with a DA of 2200 at NE Dragway my Valiant ran 137.5 mph. Yesterday with a DA of 1620 the car ran a best of 134.5. Is this telling me that the carb needs to be fattened up?

Have my application but Im not sure if I want 4B or 6B for my 66 Valiant. Always bracket racing but Im wondering about all the other classes in 4B ( Im sure the car doesn't qualify for all) Is 6B what most of you racers have? I realize I probably need to go get my rulebook and look at the...

I just want to let my fellow racers and Mopar owners know that Braille presently has a deal on their i35X lithium battery. 599 instead of 899! 10 pounds! It would of course require a lithium specific charger which is an additional 150 bucks. I don't like the ah rating of the battery but I've...

So I lost a gear in my Lenco a few weeks back. Shift lever pull was at 3 pounds. It should be 45. Tried adjusting it and went back to the track. It was good for about 2 runs. My first run was like 10.5 at 133 but the next was an 11 something at 106. Same forward section of the lenco was not...

Well last Friday was my first attempt at a 9.9. Did the burn out and the pressure plate rubbed a hole through my hydraulic bearing hose....dead before a pass. How embarrassing. Anyway fixed it and tie wrapped the hoses away from the offending soft locker. Ready to try again tonight. It's about...

I got an email earlier today that my bare mopar smallblock heads that I ordered on Black Friday are shipped!

I've got 3 used (well maybe 2) SB cams. Funny they are all about the same as far as I can tell. I cleaned up 1 lobe on each and have identified them to the best of my ability. Anyway I understand having a cam regroup so is there any "value" to these cams? Do people want used cams? Should I...

I ordered some bare castings during the Black Friday sale for a small block. My question is are the valves they sell any good? And what's up with the .050 longer? 11/32 valve stem. The price is right but not of they're junk. Any insight? BTW sale ends in 16 hours.

So I've ordered front and rear glass bumpers and front brackets . Front bumper loaded was 33.6 pounds. Rear with brackets was 24 pounds. Replacement bumpers are 4 pounds each! Filler neck was 1# 12ounces. Pulled the vent line and trunk grommet as well. Anyway looking at removing the non...

Started up the Valiant this weekend for the first time this year. Looking for issues I found another spark plug wire shorting out the end of the boot to the hex on the plug. Pulled the plug and the ceramic is cracked. This is the 3rd AR3910 plug that has done this. Seems odd. WTF. Have and MSD7...

Having a real hard time getting a Super Victor 2815 to fit on a set of Edelbrock heads. Finally clearance enough to get the valve covers on ,with doubled up gaskets....but can't get the bolts in on the #3 and #6 intake holes in the head. Trying studs on those 2 but was considering putting a slot...

As stated I found a purple mist on the secondary bowls of my 950 XP. Is fuel sloshing up the bowl vent and getting blown back through my air filter? Just noticed this. I do run purple fuel. Anybody seen this before?

I had an AR207 alternator bracket set up to mount the usual small 93 mm nippondenso alternator on an AR Engineering motor plate for my RB in my Valiant. I had an LActrical 50amp. Well I've upgraded my radiator and fan assembly and am now drawing 38 amps on the fans alone. The old alternator...

Oil change. So yesterday was probably my last weekend run at New England Dragway. I'll be storing the car for the winter I usually put a 50/50 mix of green coolant in and put the battery in my basement on a shelf. I'm in Mass and it'll be cold in my unheated garage. My question is should I...

So besides a little fan anybody have any suggestions to kill some of the heat inside my car? I have a 9.9 firesuit collar and helmet on and I'm melting waiting in the staging lanes. Shiney silver heat mat stuff? What works? What do you guys use/do? Looking for suggestions. Please.

I've got a video of this run and about 20 feet out there's tire smoke. I think that's when the soft locker engaged but I'm not sure. It was so hot and humid. My mph was down a bit but my 60 foot time was better. Decent light too. my car is 5284. 528 Cid 4 bbl

So we sold the kids Duster about 3 years ago and it's found its way back to me to have a bigger solid cam installed. When I put the current 268S 10 Comp in I did the spring swap break in procedure and no problem. That was probably 7 years ago. Anyway the new owner saw my cam recommendation and...

My white window marker had leaked out. I borrowed some from the guy next to me. Went on a bit light but dried darker. A bit runny. The stuff wiped right off with a dry piece of paper towel! Good stuff. Didn't get the brand. I've often had a hard time getting the marker off. Anybody know the...

I am changing up some bars in my car and am going to change my seat. Before I spend money that I don't really have on a 55 series kirkey I was wondering if anyone uses a Polyethylene style double wall seat like a Jegs 555-70250? Is this seat OK for a chassis certified car?

My breathers have puked oil on my headers and under my tires for the last time. I'm going to step up to a belt driven vacuum pump. I have a motor plate that I would like to mount it to. I have an ATI Superdamper and a single pulley to run my grapefruit size 80 amp alternator low with an AR...
