But also, brakes, especially good ones, can cause big problems out there. Chassis inspector told me to remove them all together

I think I get it. in an emergency, the natural reaction would be to hit the brakes which then could cause a bigger emergency.
Parachute then or just ride/steer it out?
Pretty much. Use the parachute and the ample shutdown area. Panic and brakes will cause spins
Yay! Another piece
Not much has gotten done on the car. Storms came through on Sat. Tree took the power off the side of the house. Power service company had to an emergency call as live wires were in the yard. Then had to get an electrician neighbor to stop by and verify everything was good before they would power it back up. All done, just in time for another round. No damage the 2nd time though.
I did get the inside of the rear quarters painted. Paint has full cure time of 72hrs, so they will stay off the car until then. I do believe I will need to move the master cylinder pod over to the dash on the passenger's side to have the height and somewhere to mount it.
Heads should be flowed this week. I hope as this is my last full week at work. My last day is next Tuesday. Then a couple weeks vacation before surgery.

have you seen this?Chris Raschke Legacy Scholarship Created By SEMA
I had not. Thats pretty cool for them to do that. Help get people into the aftermarket auto industry
My 470 made 670tq- 685hp with tf240 heads and a 264-268 solid flat tappet .670ish lift,
12.8:1 compression. Gas ported rings & coated pistons
Super stock pan , wieand tunnel ram and 2 850s.
That was a basic nothing fancy at all build, besides the piston rings.
It's in the process of being redone with maybe another 50-75 hp from the latest work.
Work has been very busy, so the heads haven't been flowed yet. I will wait to see what the flow numbers are, where they are, etc. then decide if it needs more cam.

Fixed it for you.

Idiots. We already have 360 degree cams. That would be a 720 degree cam.
So.....if full duration, is that a full race cam vs a 1/4 race or 1/2 race cam from the old days?

Oh yea that’s definitely like stage 14 full race type of stuff there.
That's turning the amp up to 11
Wow
Call Tim at Hanford auto supply Ca.. He runs 196-8 mph in a carbureted Y-Block roadster every year. Very simple build and he doesn't seem to go through engines.
Obviously, its not a Mopar, but he knows everyone and is always willing to share information.

There was a 2nd Gen charger build for land speed runs over on Moparts a few years back.
Best machine built a 500” B1 engine for it.
I think it ended up making the trip to Utah at least twice.

I am familiar. I believe there are 2 if those by the same guy. One crashed near 300mph.
So, I worked on the car a bit. Gusseted the receiver hitch and made patch panels for the A and C pillar rust holes on the drivers side. Ran out of 0.025 wire, so I stopped. Also ran the demon up to a doctor's appointment. My uncle saw me in traffic but didn't know it was me.
