Ran my 74 Dart!
Thanks everyone for the comments. I still really had a lot of fun.
Jim, I really thought it was gonna go 17.0's@slow.
DrJay, I've been hooked on drag racing for a while. Jim (74 Demon) is the person I bought the dart from. We've known each other for a while, and he's seen my neon that I've built up. It went a best of
[email protected] all motor last year, this year the clutch has been slipping so I haven't really had a chance to get it out. I just put a fresh transmission with a limited slip and a strong clutch into it. I'm hoping for 14.70's on the motor, and 13.90's on a 65 shot of nitrous. There's no posi out back, it's just stock with a set of 2.76 gears (verified by tach and speed). 2000 RPM' around 55MPH with 205/70/14 tires.
Hypermite, I really want to do mods to it, but I don't think I'm going to be doing much with it for a while. I really need to get my 98 neon back on the road. It's the fastest car I have, and the one that gets the best gas mileage (32MPG), and it's my favorite car to drive, although the dart is a close #2. Besides, I really have no idea how to do a spark recurve to it, although I'm sure I will find out.
By the way, I just put a tach in the car this past weekend. It's been shifting at 4K, really low from what I've read. I want to shift it higher, but it starts sputtering a little past 4500.
