Thank you. It was nothing like my 50th! Wish you boys coulds have come up for a diet coke or something. Denny, my post about taking the car down the track was an offer from me to you to "drive" the Barracuda down the track .................... It scares the **** out of me!

Mark,

That thing have drag radials or something on it?

I know my M/T ET Street radials need to get really hot to hook. Once they do, look out. Took my 60 ft from a 2.20-2.30sec to a 1.71sec in a 4600 lb truck with a manual trans. It was at the point where it would bog up to about 4500 rpm launch. Before the ET streets it would blow the tires off at anything over idle. At 4500 rpm and 12 psi, it just hooks and goes with no wheelspin.

I found they didn't work until they were really hot!

There was an article in Hot Rod shortly after they introduced the ET Street 'Radials'. They basically stated that heat was your friend.

aren't you still under some kind of probation???....better not go there
 
I think everybody fries them but I was told by a BFG engineer
that their Drag Radials do not like the heat. He stated: "One dry
hop....avoid the water box....stage and launch". Ask Denny.

You just reminded me of another bit of info I got from the HR artical on the ET Streets. Do your burnout, then roll up to the line. No dry hop. You waste the stick that you gained from the burnout.

I remember my old Pontiac GP I ran the BFGs. They turned greasy if you got them too hot. They did handle a lot better on the street though. The ET Street Radials are not that great on the street - compared to my 17s.
 
Mark,
Have you seen the fuel injection in the new Mopar Collectors guide? Here's a link to thier site....looks like they only have Big block stuff for Mopars, guess that counts me out. Did you see my post on my build site regarding the dash stand I made ?
