Th Think that’s bad, don’t walk in and tell them you need wiper blades. They will grab the 40 dollar ones, not the 8 dollar ones. Just like going into a mattress store, they aren’t going to show you a 38 dollar Army cot, you are going to get the 3100 dollar mattress set. Look up what you want...

I replied because my car was mentioned, sorry it upset you.

I had a similar car 340 69 GTS dart, I bought in 1972. It came factory with 3.55 gear. Only mods were cheapie headers and thrush glasspacks. Took it to US131 Dragway not longer after I got it to make some passes ( June of 72, my first ever outing) best pass was 14.23 at 99.xx mph

It’s actually the right formulation A4. If it’s correct( mine is) it’s actually got a greenish tint to it in different light. That said, it was painted A4 8 years ago, it was born B5. I do have the tag in a folder. Edit… We closed ourbusiness back last June( I retired) and all the files from the...

I agree. I would feel very comfortable with 1/2 good studs on your deal.

1/2 inch ARP suds can take a lot of abuse. My ex car has been 140 mph at 3220 pounds with those. As light as the OP’s car is my opinion is it’s overkill assuming using good studs, good lugs, etc. Kinda like 500 gph fuel pumps for typical bracket cars.

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.
