Gonna be a tough decision. Lord willing, I might do Moparty then the Moparfest at London KY, an event I love. But haven’t ruled out doing Norwalk and London yet either. Skipping Moparty and the NHRA national event at 131

Yea, the actual racing surface at 131 is the nicest I have ever been on.

That’s because IHRA has said all the stuff they do will be run on the 1/8. Things like stock, super stock, .90 stuff, etc. I hope IHRA changes that stance. Stupid idea.

Sept 18-20 2026 They sure moved fast with this replacing Maple Grove on the schedule. This will be the Great Lakes nationals.

My old motor I ran!

No, that car I had a locker in it for a minute, then spool.

I went and did some research on the weight difference( been a long while since I did that swap) general consensus seemed to be 50 pounds. I said earlier 60 or 70 pounds so I was off a little, and as you seem to love to quibble over most everything, I was off by 10 or 20 pounds. The main point is...

It means keep it like it is

My thought If it don’t stink, don’t stir it.

I was aware of that, but was still surprised it was enough to offset the weight, but it sure did.

Years ago I swapped from an 8.75 to a Dana. Fairly significant weight gain(65-70 pounds or so) saw nothing on the slip.

It’s probably 3000-3100 with driver. Runs a glide, maybe convertor isn’t quite right, but it’s super consistent, he won the bracket final race couple years ago with it. Have a buddy who went 9.40 at 143 with that deal with a 904 about 3000 with him in it. Getting the convertor right isn’t easy...

Guy at our local track races points with that setup, has a duster. Runs 6.30 ish typically, 20’s in good air.

No, need an adapter, and only a couple of guys I know make them

Gotta back the timing off a little there young feller :lol:
