Looks fine to me. Good job.

You're not far off your goals, less than 2 mph? I reckon you're going pretty good.

I think your target is realistic. 172mph in the mile for that car with the acceleration/horsepower it has would be well within it's capabilities. It's the acceleration at high speeds (above 100mph) that's most important on these distance measured runs, as you're covering so much ground at the...

You have a beautiful car. Don't ruin it. I'm not sure 580 hp in that long heavy car would be enough anyway. Just keep roasting the tires and use the front wheels to keep you straight.

Manual shifting, changing at between 5,000 and 5,500 (doesn't seem to make much difference), brief burnout in low gear, hold it on the brake at maybe 1,200 rpm just before I launch. If I hold it with any more revs than that the tires just go up in smoke. I'm not looking for a 12 second pass or...

I know I asked this before, I'm just wondering if it's my technique or if I need to make some mechanical changes. It'd be ideal if I could find another 20hp or so that's there all the time without having to make changes at the track. On Sunday I did lower the psi to 20 in the rear tires and...

Any tips on how to gain that last 0.1 sec, 1 mph? The car is very consistent, every run was virtually the same, but the 60ft time seems to be where I lose most of the time. It's currently a 3.23 rear with stock converter, but drives so nice on the street I'm hesitant to change it. Another few...

Convoy on way home

Still couldn't break into the 13 sec / 100 mph.

Yesterday was Mopar Sunday at Willowbank Raceway in sunny Queensland. It was fantastic. Lots of cars, track open from 8am for test and tune, plus plenty of cars in the show and shine. Around 11am they closed the track and started a cruise going up the parade lane and then back down the track the...

Gary Pavlovich is the poly guru and an extremely helpful guy. The combo is based on his advice, with the exception of the stroke. He usually recommends a 4" crank for approx 400 cu in although in an email a few years back he mentioned the 3.58" option as giving a better rod ratio so that's the...

The first 2 runs I just drove off the line. The last I probably held it at 1,000 rpm and had a touch of wheelspin. On the street it will light them up from a standstill now with just the throttle, so I could definitely have given it some more. The 60 ft times are very lame. I put the time into...

Nothing was changed except the headers (but I had to change the main jets on the 600 Holley from 66 to 68 as on the drive home from the header shop I had a lean miss until the engine warned up. I wasn't even sure if the 66 jets had been previously drilled as they looked identical in diameter to...

I run my car at the track a few months back, 318 poly stroker, now 354 cu in with a 3.58" stroke crank. 3.23 rear, stock converter, power steering, full interior cruiser. I was still running the factory exhaust manifolds and the car ran: 14.8 @ 96 mph. Last night I was back at the track with...

Unless.you do a full comparison of every part these vendors sell you can't tell for sure. Some vendors will have a "loss leader" product that they sell at cost or very small margin, but then make the money back a small bit at a time on the other products you need or tend to buy at the same time...
