glad to hear at least firebird will stay running...I haven't been there in 20 years though.

I have/had Speedworld close by, still have Firebird till end of March I believe. Speedworld is closed until further notice, still don't know the whole story on this one. something to do with the land development/use without proper permits. Firebird lease is up after 30years and the owner...

I thought about nitrous too, but I think there may be more in the suspension and tuning to gain from on my car. I need to step up and beat my brother again...preferably without spraying. he is all about "all throttle, no bottle". but please keep this thread updated!! have you run the car n/a...

bummer he died, did he get to run it? it would be cool to know more about the history of the car. the guy I bought it from didnt seem to know much about it (his friends got him to buy it and raced it for 2 years before parking it if I remember right)

not sure what to list but here's what I know: 360 (internally balanced cast crank stock stroke) Brodix heads (unported I think) Mopar Purple Shaft (unknown spec) mechanical new Comp Cams springs, the old ones broke an inner spring Mopar roller rockers 1.5 (.028/.032 hot) MSD ignition, 7al with...

thanks for the comments! yes it came from Vegas, the guy I bought it from here in Phoenix came from there....and the grille will be going as soon as I get the other headlight bezel and nose trim I'm still missing. I dont have any knowledge with a car like this, this is my first drag car. I...

the 600+ is at the crank. thanks, I would like to make caltracs, and run a smaller tire, just haven't gotten around to it.

I got a 10.82 @ 122.38 yesterday at Speed World. good day of racing, although my brother finally beat me at 10.77 @ 124 with his Nova, he has been trying for more than a year to get me with his 600+hp 406...of course he wouldn't let it go afterwards (not against each other though). when we...

I went with Comp 933-16 per an engine builders recommendation after giving him my info. *i removed one so he could measure it* I was able to make a tool out of 5/16 square tube and welded 8 bolts to it mimicking a GM style head so I could use my brothers valve spring tool...worked out pretty...

thanks, the installed height is what has me worried, because I dont remember seeing any shims under the springs. I am attempting to make a tool to remove them on car tonight. so hopefully I can get them measured tomorrow.

hello all, I found a broken inner valve spring on my Dart. unfortunatley for me, I dont know exactly what cam I have in it, it came with the car. I believe its the P4120657 Mechanical Flat Tappet, Adv. Duration 312/312, Lift .590/.590. I did measure the lobes when I had it out and matched the...

yes, straight cut, just straight pipe. a co-worker gave me 2 3.5" turn downs, so i may just weld them to some bullet type mufflers and use the band clamps on the headers...depending on how it sounds, and doesnt affect performance, i may just leave them on.

nice, I like those, but I dont have flanges currently on the headers.

my intension is to simply have the car NOT have open header at the house, I will not be tuning/driving it there with mufflers on. but I do want to move it from the trailer to garage and run it now and then at home. it currently is straight header, no pipes. thanks for the links, I will look...

hello all, I recently moved into a new house and don't want to piss off all my new neighbors (yet). I was thinking to make mufflers slip on/off fairly easy so I can run the car at home with them on, and of course take them off at the track. Just curious if anyone else has done this?? and...

right lane was stupid, I assume from all the dust settling on that side..no fast cars went on it, I tried but got loose half-track.

i signed it while at the track last night with my family.

hi everyone, I am looking for suggestions to improve my 73 Dart times. best of 10.89 @ 122 so far with: about 2800lbs with driver360 stock borestock cast crank (but internally balanced) Ross pistons (about 12.5-13:1, I never actually calculated it) Eagle H beams Mopar Purple shaft mechanical...

I dont have the OEM firewall. the car has a GM style hardware installed top front/rear and lower rear already from when i bought the car, but no net came with it. I'll have to figure out how to attach it to the front lower section too... I assume there was a cable tying it to the floor that had...

if i were a little more patient, i think i found my own answer: section 4a: Roll cage mandatory in cars running 10.99 (*6.99) or quicker or any car exceeding 135 mph. **which means a window net is required** but i still dont know what class my car falls in..

I am being told I need to have a window net, by a friend of a friend that has been racing for who knows how long. (he says he requires one and runs about the same ET as me) I have looked (as best as I can) at the NHRA rules to find if this is true for me. however, I dont know what my car is...

it should fit, I have a mechanical pump with an electric drive kit and it clears fine. sorry to hear about your leg, hope you are doing well.

I have my taurus fan on a 20a fuse and its good....but mine is on low still. and its really not that loud, at least I barely hear it while in the drivers seat and engine off...but then I cant hear that well anyway ha! this will be my fan of choice for any project I ever do from now on.

stock size radiator, aluminum 2 row, the shroud is smaller than the radiator. i just used a trans cooler zip tie install kit. i dont remember the exact size, I cant measure it right now though, my car is stored at my friends house (for now, till my new house is built). I'm pretty sure one of...

I found this on a quick search: "advertised as having 2500 CFM on low speed and 4500 CFM on high by most sources. It comes in the 90 to 95 Ford Taurus and Lincoln Mark VIII with the 3.8 litre engine."

I dont remember what spec I found, it doesn't say on it, no switch was included, its a 3 wire, so 1 ground, other 2 low/high, I only wired the low speed, if I get motivated, I'll wire both speeds to a on/off/on toggle switch...but first time out with it did great on low so I dont think I'll need...

hi, I just put a 95 Ford Taurus 2 speed fan on my Dart, on low speed it never gets over 180F, before it would get to 210F. I paid $47 on Amazon for it...said it was used, but it was brand new (got lucky I guess). good luck!

thanks, I am doing a few mods to the car right now, so I haven't been out for awhile now, I plan on going Oct 29th, my friend Brian is running his Blazer too (1/8 mile for him). and I'm trying to get my brother to go with his Nova so I can beat on him, again. honestly I dont know why the...

I have used the "flip video", it's my friends so I dont know the details on it, I think its the first generation. I will be buying my own soon. here is the flip video in-car, I haven't used it outside the car like your video. in car camera

nice! some day I'll pull the front wheels up on my Dart.
