That's what old sockets are for. Lay up against header area and wack away. Dave
 
New best E.T. today.
In the next week sometime, I'm still looking to run with my 2" supersucker.
Hoping to better my times.

Thats a BADASS Barracuda !!!!! what was the DA & race weight ?
D.A. was great.
Low 500's but track prep sucked.
Chattered the tires all day.
Race weight right now is 3180.
Hoping for 3000 next year after the diet.
 
Don't forget to get longer studs!:thumbsup:
I already ran the setup with the hood on but it fell on its face. The carb had about 1/4" clearance to the scoop.
I made longer studs and also needed another throttle cable.
This time I'm going to run without the hood.
 
I just got back from a tnt at Island Dragway.
I put the 2" spacer on and ran without the hood.
Couple of things.
First thing was that I wasn't expecting the launch.
I'm not sure what the space had to do with it, but the car pulled the wheels substantially.
Never did that before and I kind of lifted a bit.
It felt fast but only went 9.88 @ 135ish.
I think it needed more jet but I never got to do it.
After feeling I cheated myself on the first pass, I was anxious to get back up and go again.
By the time I got to run again, the dew had moved in.
Next pass the car spun off the line and ran 9.90. Not really sure what that proved to me, but at least without the hood, it didn't stumble on takeoff.
I have a race on Sunday and it's back to the no space setup.
Hopefully I'll get another shot during the day before winter to test again.

Felt kinda like this.
Yeas the air was great. D.A. was around 440.
9.70's all day.
It was fun.
I broke out in 3rd rd. Dialed 9.79 and ran a 9.76 lifting at the stripe.
