    Question on NHRA Super Stock & Stock class wedge motors

    I watched a few of the Driver Interviews with Bobby Fazio videos he posts on YouTube from the staging lanes and pits at NHRA National events and was surprised by the RPM's some of these guys are turning with their B & RB Mopar wedges. Anywhere from 7800 to 8400 rpm through the traps. As far as...

    Just saw that 2 more Tracks closed...

    I'm geographically probably the luckiest guy here, I live 6 miles from a large track that the community supports here in Minnesota. Up until a few years ago I was still driving my car to the track with open headers on Wednesday night racing.

    The old saying. “Not If but When”

    Love your transmission support for when the motor is out of the car. Great design using the torsion bars.

    Howard cams.

    I have a big Howards solid flat tappet cam in my 512 in my 66, I also have a 500 with a Howards solid roller. As mentioned above, break the motor in on single valve springs and before break in do all your homework to get the motor to fire up as soon as possible on first start up.

    What’s your favorite wheel on a drag car?

    Bought these Race Stars because of the 2 inch back space but really like the looks of them on the car.

    hoosier 26x8.50-15 on a 66 B-body

    I ran a 275-60-15 MT radial slick on a 8 inch wheel with 4.5 back space on my 66 Coronet. Tight fit but fit with no rubbing.

    Low deck maxwedge.

    I spoke with Hughes Engines yesterday and the Indy low deck, MW, 4500 carb base intake manifold has not been in stock since early last winter and they show no future shipping date. Not a lot of good options for manifolds.

    Low deck maxwedge.

    I'm in the middle of opening up a Trick Flow Track Heat intake to match my TF 270 heads. Looks like it can be done but there is not much meat left on top of the runners. It will probably work but if your working with heads or a block that have been decked it might be a problem. I tried to buy a...

    Carb choice for Street-Strip 512

    Thanks for posting all your car info, Helps a lot. Motor set up is pretty similar to mine. Where did you buy the fiberglass bumpers? Thought about replacing my front with a glass one.

    Carb choice for Street-Strip 512

    Thanks for the info, Sounds like a 1050 is the way to go. My car sees limited street use and I live in a small town with little traffic except on summer weekends. Thanks again to everyone!

    Some changes for LemonWedge

    Are you going to add a roll bar or cage at some point? Sounds like you're close to the ET and speed where the track tech guys might say you need one. If you already have a cage I couldn't see it from your photos. The car will look great with the bigger tires in the back.

    SS spring question

    Looks like the middle of December in the Brainerd Lakes, 6 to 8 inches forecasted for Thursday. I need at least 2 more weeks of normal Fall weather before the snow is here permanently.

    Drag Parachute? Do you need one with a low 10 second B body?

    Thank you, for some reason I was thinking 135 and above was where a chute was required.

    Drag Parachute? Do you need one with a low 10 second B body?

    Thank you, Forgot to mention I have new front hubs, cross drilled rotors and bearings I have yet to install on this car. Also replacing the proportioning valve with aftermarket one that I can adjust rear brakes.
