It is very stable at high speed. tracks very straight on the dragstrip. 11.46 at 118+ no drift or squirrelly motion. Around the street if I did not have the shoulder injury, I would be fine. I will have to have it aligned after and will ask if they can get more caster

It is manageable at slow speeds but I experienced a torn rotator cuff that is not repairable without a complete shoulder replacement. I find that I do not drive it as much because of that. At 64 yo, I want to drive it as much as I can. I will post a build thread when I get the project started.

I have the flaming river 16:1 215/65-15 cooper cobras up front 275 rear. This was my previous alignment when I had them try to do the best they could from the skosh chart. Street and strip, but not bracket racing.

Reminds me of another question. I am considering an electric power steering for my 73 scamp. Any changes to the skosh recommendations for power vs manual steering?

I would love to not have to move the engine mounts, remove headers remove steering box, install new brackets and find pulleys. I have not read any negatives about these setups but I will sit down today, watch some football and research further. I have a torn rotator tendon that cannot be...

I have never seen one of these kits. Any references? I will search by references help. After some research....... I will look into the EPAS and Flaming River units

My winter project this year is going to be a borgesen power steering conversion. I do plan on connecting with Bergman for the needed parts and advice, but I figured that I would begin to gather advice and document the progress here. I have a 1973 scamp with a stroked 440, tti long tube...

Yea, I don't plan much for next year as far as changes. I will get some new drag radials or drag slicks, in 275/60-15 instead of the 255/60-15s to fill out the rear wells. The engine and chassis are close to ideal for how it was originally designed, but the cam was designed with nitrous in mind...

We finally got the Scamp to the dragstrip. 2 of my sons raced it. 6 runs total and we finally broke into the 11 seconds with a 11.727 and 11.710 runs. The runs were very close by each son. The older son won by a tenth of a second. That was our mission. Get into 11 seconds but not 11.49...

No, he bought a truck. We built the scamp together and I told him that he can drive it any time he wants. He has 4 young girls under 7 yo. He needed a truck more than a challenger. So he gets the best option. He can drive the scamp whenever he wants but does not have to store it. It stays on...

Funny that you should say that. That is my oldest son. It was a staging issue that he was not ready for and just got caught asleep at the switch. He was quite unhappy with that performance. He sold that challenger.

I think that was 12.4. Our best is 12.2 but that is just letting the transmission shift, and do so badly.

This was last year. Not sure I need that much smoke but it hooked up well

Post Falls, I go to Spokane to race. The Friday race was cancelled. Only one more chance next weekend before they close for winter

It is a bm quicksilver shifter. The transgo 2 allows for immediate manual shifts.

I will check this before the races. Thanks a bunch.

The recommendation of 5800rpms was given to me after reading the datalogs from the Super Sniper EFI by Master Engine builder Andy Finkbeiner. He was kind enough to review it on the Holley Forum a while back. Thanks again. Hopefully the rain holds off this Friday. The last day of the season is...

Thanks for all the help here. I am familiar with the 1st gear issues. We will avoid that at all costs. When shifting, do you let off the gas or just keep the pedal down? Kind of a dumb question but my manual transmission brain is confused.

VERY amateur racer here. I have a 440 stroked motor in my 73 scamp. I rebuilt the transmission and put in a Transgo2 shift kit. This year we have only had it out to the track a couple times and allowed the trans to shift automatically. It shifts quickly 1-2-d which may need to be remedied...

Track was very slippery today. Many cars had to shut it down or get off the throttle because things got squirrelly. We ended up slower ET but faster trap speed. Also the 60 ft sensor was not working but it didn't matter with 95* heat and no prep. Fastest was a 12.5 but at 114. and change, I...

Last month we took the scamp to Spokane for some no prep racing and this weekend we are doing it again. Here is a video of the previous race. This is a street/hot rod and occasional racecar. Full interior but a stroked 440. Last year dynoed at 409 to the rear wheels and some tweaks sere made...

I am unsure if it was spin or fan belt. I heard the fan belt squeal when we revved it in the pits but I didn’t bring tools. Doh.

We watched a few races and then another spill, so that meant 30 more minutes before racing. The AMC was really fast and screamed down the track. I did not know it was on spray. Let’s connect next time.

Racing was good while it lasted. Track had some spills and cleanup took forever. We were in the first race down the track and unfortunately the timing system did not pick it up. Second and only other run was good for what it was. Car launched straight and accelerated smoothly. No tire slip...

I am pretty new to racing and want to get some setup recommendations for my Scamp. The track has been closed for 2-3 years due to sale and renovations. Today it opens for no-prep and test and tune. 2 years ago I had my car on chassis dyno and it had 409 rear wheel HP, 430 or so TQ. Later, I...

Roller. These were from 440 source

These are 1.5 ratio. I changed to 1.6. 440 source. I will let you have them for shipping cost plus $50 packaging and handling. The shafts have wear and I would not advise using them. Just use the set you have. For less than $100 you would have 1.5s

Let me know if you need 1.5s from 440 source.
