the clip works on my windows media player.... i got the clip off my buddy....?
 
You should be able to sneek into the 12's with a bit of tuning.
Video didn't work here either. I'll try it when I get home.
I saw pictures of your cutouts, very nice job.
I need to figure a way to do that on mine, and not cut down the size at the collector adapter.
 
I'm hoping to tune 3 10ths out of it - i'll try a set of 4 hole spacers first...


I had great traction with the street tires, till i left over 2 grand.. then the spun for a 13.7 @102

nope - 10 year old usa-1 street radials.. 245 60 14's with 32 lbs of air...
 
you bet! - i left the line and the car pulls with the tunnel ram, but i cant leave over about 16-1800 rpm, at 2000 she spins for about a car legnth.

my 13.4 run i left at 1200 rpm
my 13.3 run i left at 1500 rpm..

i have open spacers under the carbs now and with a 1.94 60' - i was wondering if i am walking that fine line already with traction, or will a set of 4 hole spacers help with 60' and et.. i understand the carbs signal will be stronger, and therefore i should get more of a punch, but here comes that fine line on street tires...

i must admit it's a fun problem to have, 3 10ths away from a 12 second 3.23 street tire car.. that i will make a 2 hour ride to carlisle in!

It works fine on my home computer. Might need the upgraded media player to see it.

Car would probably really fly with some 4.10 gears and good tires. Probably go easiley into the 12's
Especially with the tunnel ram. Those things like the rpm's, I've heard.

Watch/ LISTEN to the video. It sounds like it's getting draged down before it starts winding up.
Where were you shifting it at? What stall converter is in it?
 
i have a 175k mopar converter in it.... the 3.23's are definately holding it bavk - BUT i get to drive it 2 hours to carlisle!! i might try a set of 4 hole spacers first and keeps whittling away at 12's with 3.23's... pretty cool.. I never would have thought it would run that good.

My first run i shifted at 6500 - the second at 6000 and i got the better time with the 6000 shift - i guess the cam is done at 6 grand!
