How to fix your Cal Trac's
how long did it take you to get the hotrod that consistent?
I bought it this way.
It is an ex Top Sportsman car from Florida, which had a blown Hemi in. It ran 6's @ 200+. The chassis is 6.0 spec. but mild steel, so it became out dated with the new NHRA rules. It is 7.5 cert.now.Car was sold as a roller. It had a low deck for a while, the guy I bought it from built the RB that's in it now. Started winning from the get go.
With that said,I don't know how much time was spent on it.But my purple Duster was built, worked right out of the box with a couple of shock adjustments. It was a back 1/2 ladder bar car.Won ton's with it right from the 1st race.
My buddy has a tube chassis 4 link Cuda (burgundy one in pic), it works great, won ton's of championships with just few minor adjustments.
The black cuda is my other friend. It is also a tube chassis car, he has won a gazzilion races,he races all over, never makes chassis adjustments.
My Tube chassis Daytona (see pic) was the same. It was set up for a blown Bucky's Austin Hemi. I put my 600 HP RB in it. Then after one race, one night on the jack stands,one adjustment. I won my 1st race, then it went on and won multiply championships.
I might add, all four cars, had about 3 hours on the dyno, and we never looked back.But not all will agree with that program either.
With this car, we spent 3 hours on the dyno, gained 25 RWHP, just playing with the timing and jets.
It shouldn't be that hard to make a simple bracket car work.Grunt motor, in a 1000+ H.P. chassis.Not the other way around.
