Fantastic mph! What’s car weigh

Have you been down the track with the 647 horse motor yet?

Stainless steel rocks!

Edit.. Went through and read this old thread from the start. Stupid me, I didn’t take my own advice. I swapped to better heads, and saw only modest gains, keeping my 1 5/8 Doug’s headers. I later bought a set of American racing headers, because I suspected they would pick the car up quite a bit...

I just posted my personal results and the gains I saw on a small block stroker. Have to disagree with you, his car will love the 1 7/8 header a lot more than 10 horsepower. I saw nearly 40 horse gain with doing nothing but switching headers. I documented it well on here with timeslips. Those...

I recently swapped headers on my 418 stroker. Went from Doug’s 1 5/8 headers with 3 inch mufflers, to 1 3/4 to 1 7/8 step headers with same mufflers off of them. The difference was dramatic, and at that point, that was the only change. Based on the Et slips, difference was roughly 40 horsepower...

I would call Brodix on something like that and send them your picture.

On a 69 stripe delete car, is there supposed to be a GTS emblem on the lower front fenders behind the tires? Saw one like that for sale on Facebook. Owner said stripe delete cars only come that way. Guess, if true, had never seen that before

Have a friend with a 72 race chassis Cuda. Been in the 7’s currently with a stout big block in the 1/4 on motor. Car is very light. Years back he had a b1ba headed small block stroker in it. Ran 9.06-9.07 best maybe couple hundreds quicker, but consistently right around there. Took his Victor...

Thanks a bunch. Just wondering if it would fit under my flat hood with a 1 inch spacer and a 4150 on it. Victor 340 does, but I don’t know by how much lol… Guess I could tape a plastic straw that extends 2 inches above the vent tubes on the carb and see if it bends when I close the hood

John, off the top of your head, have any idea how much taller a super Victor is over a Victor sitting on a motor?

Ran that gasket on my 360 previous to my current motor. Zero issues. Was just trying to raise squeeze a little bit.

Agreed. Get on a plane and look at all the unsettled land you can see on pretty much any domestic flight. Lots and lots of uninhabited space. Lots.

Cool stuff. Congrats, great looking little one!

Agree. Fun to go there in the winter!

It’s not an NHRA national event level facility, for a number of reasons. Love the place, but it’s not at that level to host something like that.

It’s 9 miles East from the Interstate.

It’s gonna happen. Track has been very proactive fighting it, along with racers. I think it’s still years away though.

Lol If I were you I would have bought the cheapest ones. When you drop the hammer on that Dakota you might be having to rake them out:lol:

I might be wrong, but I don’t think class runoffs pay anything

Super sweet car! What’s the combo and what’s it run!

What did the cars run in the class final?

Yep.

Brett is the guy working on it. It’s not a secret, been all over Facebook for a while.

Really, really nice Vick. What does it run and what power train

Actually I think a lot of guys at the 600 ish horsepower level would be players for a cheaper aftermarket block, something like the X block type offering was. Now such guys are making do with factory blocks.

Well aware of the Ritter blocks. Which is why I said I wish there were MORE options. To my knowledge, that is the only option currently. There are tons of head options, basically one block option.

I don’t even think it was so much speedmaster as it was etching the name on the copy like the original was. After seeing different posts on Facebook about it, I finally watched the video by the trans brake guy and agreed with him 100%. Personally, I would rather see somebody offer another block...

Mine isn’t. My only compromise I have is I have no interest in running 9’s again and what all that entails.
