60 FOOT TIMES

I see a lot of time slips and at your ET anything around a 1.25 is fantastic and usually takes either a 3 speed transmission or a powerglide with a low gear. My best was a 1.25 something at a questionable track (60’s are a hair faster and 1/8 mile a hair slower.) I didn’t want to put wheelie bars on my duster so I went from a 1.98 low gear to a 1.80 to calm it down some. So it went from 1.26-1.27 average to a 1.29-1.315 average.

I do have a TF904 but I have a 2.10 first gear. With the stock first gear it'd hit the wheelie bars so hard it would squeal the tires. We moved the engine and trans forward 1.5 inches, limited the front suspension to 2" of travel and tightened the shocks all the way. That's where we are today.
