    reduced timing and new best ET!!!!

    I brought the timing down from 25 initial and 50 total to 18 initial and 38 total. The car ran great with the prior setting, but apparently whoever set it there was stupid. and i guess i'm kinda stupid for leaving it so long.... but the timing is the only change i made and went from a 1.8189...

    Video on setups for super stock spring cars

    ....mine sits level actually is 1/4" lower in the passenger side. i don't know if maybe it has something to do with the battery being on that rear corner or maybe the springs aren't what they used to be.

    crazy vibration

    SO......it starts at 55 mph....WHEN it starts.....as soon as i drop below 55, it stops. but sometimes, it doesn't start vibrating.....i can be driving along at a random speed 55 or more and it's smooth as can be, and then it will suddenly start vibrating. and then goes away the instant i go...

    speedometer gear??

    by that chart, i'd say go with a 40-tooth, since you're in between sizes, but closer to 26.

    excellent show weekend....with pics!

    thanks all!! adam, yes...true. and mine was never uneven in the rear. i thought thye S/S springs would give it the lean everyone else has, but they didn't. i also think this helped at this year's show. i just got it done, and didn't have it last year: i cut it to fit, and cut out the...

    Adam, what size are your fronts? and 67barracuda, what size are your rears? I have 165/15s on the front and 275/50-15s on the back, so i think i'll have about 67barracuda's space, from the looks of his, depending on his tire size but I may have more rake than Adam because his fronts look...

    vendors at Mopar Nationals

    well...i NEED something better than my worn out stock springs after my last dragstrip visit, so i went ahead and ordered a set of springs...i'll have to live with the jacked-uppedness.....at least it'll help my launches. Adam, your car doesn't look all that jacked up in the rear.

    hey guys, opinions or advice PLEASE

    i did mine for structural stability, because I aspire to go low 11s, and because I have no back seat, so it kinda offsets that. I only have it installed as a 4 point right now, but later on, i will need top install the side bars to make a 6 point....oh and the hoop braces...that'd make it an 8...

    68-383 and $2500.00 where to spend it?

    if you're going with stock parts, especially intake and exhaust, go with a mild cam a little better that factory, and maybe some head milling to eek the CR up a little. upgrade the ignition and cooling system for reliability. i wouldn't go wild on the valvetrain. i am using stock parts in my...
