Thanks For the advice. Ill drop the air pressure and tighten the rear shocks and see where that gets me.

Ya that shouldn't be a problem with getting down to that weight. I'm not to sure what curb weight was. Wouldn't surprise me if it was 3800.

Thanks for the replies. Ya I run a dana with 4.56 gear. The tire pressure was at 15lbs on this launch. I have a new set of Hoosiers to try out along with a set of proper size rims. I was running 8 inch rims on a 10.5 tire in the vid and ya it was killing the sidewall. Racing this weekend so ill...

Here's another video in 500fps. Might be able to see what's going on now. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hNgRpwuaOHU

Ya I'm thinking so. When I launch on foot brake it launches fine and hooks. That makes it so the front end doesnt come up so fast. So maybe ill try tightning the front up on transbrake. Racing this weekend so I will see. Probably going to tighten the rear to. Might be basketballing the tire. I...

Need opinions on launch please, 68 charger, 3350 with driver, ladder bar set parallel with ground, QA1 singles in rear set on 2 clicks from full soft, dbl in front set on 2 rebound, 10 comp. 440 688hp, 620 Ftlbs. Launch on transbrake 3600rpm and it likes to spin, tried lowering tire pressure and...

Put a rope seal in and it stopped the leak. Had a look at the seal groove and yes it was offset. Quite bad actually. Rope seal cured it and I went racing.

Turns out it still leaks. Engine builder had it on and off the dyno 4 times and still leaking. Any ideas? Eagle crank with knurling, has anyone had luck with rope seals?

Just had a 440ci bracket engine built and had it in and out of the car twice with a rear seal leak. Finally found the issue and turned out to be the eagle crank was out of round on the seal surface (brand new eagle crank) Spec is .006 and mine was .007. Had it machined and ran on the dyno and...

Dont like them as much as b bodies! I see you have a gorgeous 68 charger, what do you have for a power plant and is it 4 link or ladder bar car?

Here is a picture of my fathers A-body 9 second small block car.

Yes I here ya... The previous build was the same cam and lift with ported 906 12.2:1 comp and the fastest it went was 10.74@127. Good heads but unfortunately they were cracked. So the victors payed off and I should be in the low tens. Less weight as well. Dyno sheet for new combo below

Had the engine on the dyno and made some really good numbers. Made 688 hp@6500rpm and didn't go below 680hp from 6200-7000rpm. Made 620 Ftlbs@5200rpm and didn't go below 600ftlbs from 4600-5800 rpm. Should be enough to get the car moving. Not bad for 446CI.

I use 2 inch hooker supercomps 5209 on my 68 charger 440 and I immediately regret it. Anything with the word hooker on it is going to give you trouble. But I dealt with them and got them to fit. I recently put some victor 440 heads on and the hookers seem to fit on them as well. They take a heck...

Ya with a good converter and dbl adjustable shocks you shouldn't have an issue as long as traction is good. That's a good ET for big ole b-body. I'm hoping to hit the low tens as well with mine this year.
