Tips for the track?
Haven’t had my car at the track since 2007. Back then it was basic rebuild 318 with 2.76 gears manifolds, and ran 15.2s. Zero traction issues. Today it’s still the 318 but with ported and bigger valve 302 heads and headers, same .480 lift cam, 2800 stall, and 3.92s. I imagine traction may be a slight issue or is the track prep likely to be enough on a test and tune night? I imagine a helmet and pants will be all the safety equipment I need as I’m expecting 14s.
Anything that you all would go over prior to running? Things to look for and tweak throughout the night? Car is running fine. Will have 93 octane in it and bring a timing light, distributor wrench, and a screwdriver to mess with the carb if I need it. It’s just been so long I’m not sure what to expect but would like the most I can get out of the night. Thanks!
