Why even get out of the trailer. Just let the car go down the track then brag about what a good racer you are. This electronic stuff is really getting ridiculous, but everyone has bought them so if the track outlaws delay boxes, transbrakes', shift solenoids, etc they won't have anybody left to...

Glad you're feeling better!

When did they change the tree from 5 yellows to 3?

Footbrake is all I do. I wish it was closer. 9 hour drive.

Lower your drivers side front suspension about an inch and you'll leave level and hook well. Good Luck!

Car has slowed a bit but more consistent. Had a race 2 weekends ago. 5 passes. Never spun a bit. Last Saturday night at a track with bad prep, never spun, made it to semifinals then broke out as weather was cooling down. He had a .006 tree to my .02 and he ran his number dead on with a 2! I...

We have shows just no racing.

I've been to ChallengerFest there years ago and really liked the place, but I didn't have to tow 13 hours to get there. I'd love to go to some Mopar only races but they are too far away. My tow limit is about 3 hours. For the right event I might be talked into 4 hours, which would get me to...

Very nice! Can't wait to see a full pass once it's tuned!

Must be a proud grandpa moment! The kid has it in his genes!

Calvert split monoleafs.

Test n Tune went well Friday night. The taller tires did slow things down a little but it hooked every time. No vibrations.

Thanks, but I footbrake and leave at idle.

Test n Tune went well Friday night. The taller tires did slow things down a little but it hooked every time. No vibrations. Cold front moving through. By the next race the air will be much drier and cooler so hoping for consistent e.t's . After the last race I had to replace the starter and a...

Are you running a 14 or 16 volt system? I noticed your XS Power battery.

Usually not. My wife hasn't been coming with me this year. I'll try to find someone at the track. The slo mo videos help a lot.

With the shorter tires and leaving off idle it pulls about a 12" wheelie when it hooks good. I expect that to be less now but I don't care if I can get it to hook at tracks with bad prep. Also new tires are softer compound so may get away with shorter burnouts. Most of this will be answered...

On tracks with bad prep it spins right at the hit. If it hooked and spun after a rotation or two I can eliminate that with tire pressure, shock setting or both.

That would assume I want my bracket car to be faster. I've been losing a lot of rounds because of spinning on marginal tracks. It is never an issue on tracks with good prep. I will gladly trade a little slower for more consistent.

What size rear tires/wheels?

Before Calvert split mono leaf and correct shock setting, the rear end would rise and the tires would bounce. When you hit the throttle now the axle comes down as the slicks are planted into the track.

I've been racing Hoosier 29 x 12 -15 slicks for years. I just switched to Hoosier 32 x 14 -15 with a softer compound. Looking for better hook at tracks with marginal prep. I'm hoping that lifting the rear end 1 1/2" doesn't jack with my pinion angle.

Well, I'm being told by the modern Hemi folks that for hi compression Gen 3 's the gasket to go with is the Cometic MLX series. I can get them for $108.00 a piece in about 2 weeks, or get them right now for almost $300 a piece. Going to put a Fel Pro in there right now and finish out this...

Yes I do. The last time we had good cold air was February. March was cool but high humidity drove the DA's up this year.

UPDATE: Gasket failed between 4-6 and 6-8. #2 was fine.

In my case it takes a year of beating it at the track. An average of 2 races per month and we run 10 months out of the year. If it was detonation I would think it would show up a lot sooner than that.

How long would it take on 110 for your head gaskets to be compromised?

110

ARP head bolts. Studs weren't available for months when I did the last rebuild. ARP says they don't need to be re torqued. I'm thinking that might be wrong...

Wouldn't detonation show up on the plugs?
