    Taking a big step…. I hope.

    LW good on you for stepping up as you see fit . I have gone the other way the last 3 years . Tbrake is nice but a little harder on car especially if you choose to leave higher , 35/4000+ . Make sure those spring perches are boxed . My Plymouth was not a huge amount faster basically whatever it...

    Wax the suspension.. Or how to find a crack in the K frame.

    i know you do an ok wheely . But . Would that be a possible result of altering factory k frame ? I know you boxed and full welded plus use a engine pkate . But must be some body twist ? Tex

    The Elephant In The Room: unloading the load from a B-body.

    Yes my block added around 90lbs . But then you can go onto wheels and tyres . My PBRs are about 34 lbs compared to Gyear radials @ 23lbs .Then there is 10"billet aluminium street rims verse 8" or light race rims . At least my 5 point bar was only a swap for rear seat weight . Tex

    Back on track

    Doug . I hear you . I have run same shock setting for years . I do run radials so if track too far off i can turn . At least with pbr it will only turn a little before hooking not blow tyres off . I must say it is uncommon . Tex

    Doug , was good to go a few rounds . Q2 was a spin so yes why I changed tyres , Semi was a chirp of the tyre . Dont feel it was deeper than usual but ...... I'm not thinking track was stellar prep . Tex

    Gen 3 bracket motor

    Bob , If using a msd box with carb should be no issue unless it needs a trigger per cylinder. i know you are using COP . Might be worth asking msd or on their tech forum ? as much as i know 24 or 48 etc is just finer control . I also know with LS there is 24 or 48 (?) and now you can get 1 box...
