first time to the track with new combo (video inside)

I see you run drag radials. If you run on the streets, heat them pretty good the first time like you did in the videos. After that, it's not really beneficial to smoke show like in each video. Looks great, but, it wears the tire down and can actually make them grease up. You can cut the burnout time at least in half. Watch the burnout this video, car runs 1.47x 60's on a 275/60/15 Drag radial with 20 psi in them. It picked up with more pressure.

Get it in high gear as quickly as possible, give it a 2-3 count and roll out.

I start my burnout in high gear and as sooon as it RPMs I let off the line lock and let it roll out. BTW nice video of W2360s car!

the carb is now a 770 street avenger, ive tried 16-25 psi in the tires and havent noticed a difference

yea i was a little excessive on the burnouts but the tires were brand new and those were the first three passes. one of my dads old school racer buddies came over and looked at it this morning. he said my carb/induction/timing is wrong. i was only at about 30 degrees overall and after a short drive around the block we came to the conclusion that my secondaries werent opening. we put a screw in the linkage set the timing to 36 overall and took it for a ride.......night and day difference, feels like the car picked up at least 50 hp.:blob:

so after all that 12.5 with a 2 barrel aint too bad lol.

im going out on the 1st for the new years day drags well see how she does

i agree completely

Loose the vacuum carb, no place for one on the race track, I can hear it bogging after the initial leave. Jet extensions? With a properly tuned DP carb and proper timing I bet your converter will flash much higher. I bet the vacuum secondaries are opening then closing when your in high gear and the small carb chokes the motor enough to gain some manifold vacuum or the power valve shuts. These are all things I have personally experienced. One last note is the Nitto drag radials like very little heat, they get greasy when they are overheated. Over all your little dart runs good and there is much more in it.
