They canceled test and tune tonight due to moisture.

I’ve raced at 2 tracks and never been called on no overflow. KCIR and heartland in Topeka. I’ll bring a bottle and zip ties just in case. I’m on street tires and steel wheels. I doubt I’ll get much flack.

I have emailed and sent them a Facebook message and so far no response.

I am going Wednesday the 15th. I will email them and see what they say.

Ok good to know. I’m guessing by now I’m probably 300ish hp. Never any wheel hop in any street action. Not sure if that will be changing on a prepped track. We will see.

Yeah would be cool but just not in the cards right now unfortunately.

Springs are less than 2 years old. I’m running the Espo set. I’ve never gotten wheel hop on the street. Have a pinion snubber if that helps at all.

Awesome good to know. Will it affect drivability since it’s a street cruiser?

Brand new track. Flying H in Odessa MO. Good idea. I will reach out to the track and see what they have to say. I don’t have an overflow, driveshaft loop, or open lugs. Thanks for the tips!

Excuse my ignorance, but is this supposed to help with weight transfer/traction? Can they easily be put back on?

Thanks guys. I will go over these items and make sure all is well. I assume I’ll be in the 14s. Would be tickled to flirt with 13s but I just don’t think it has it in it.

Thanks!

Haven’t had my car at the track since 2007. Back then it was basic rebuild 318 with 2.76 gears manifolds, and ran 15.2s. Zero traction issues. Today it’s still the 318 but with ported and bigger valve 302 heads and headers, same .480 lift cam, 2800 stall, and 3.92s. I imagine traction may be a...

Well here’s what I ended up doing: I bought some 302 heads that already had 1.88/1.60s in them. I spent about 18 hours porting them after watching videos, especially @MOPAROFFICIAL videos on porting 302s (thanks btw). I did not do quite as much as he did on the videos but I did as much as I was...

My buddy is running a mixing bowl on his nitrous slant six in a beater cash days coming up lol

Never considered blocking off the side filter and just running the top. Now I’m gonna have to try it!

I like the plexiglas idea or louver idea already brought forth. New cars (and trucks) have shutters that close and open. Open to cool the coolers and close once up to speed to reduce drag. Something like that in the 1/4 could maybe make a difference. They’re also super thin and brittle. It...

Gonna do leak down and compression test soon and find out. Hoping just valve seal letting oil dump in there. Guess we will find out.

Others looked like this

It’s blowing white smoke bad on one side.

Cylinder is packed full of crap. Not sure. They were all gapped the same. All rocker arms moving correctly.

So this is the #6 cylinder spark plug.

talking to a guy with 302 heads with 188 valves. Hope that makes things work

@furrystump can I get some pics of your firewall since it’s heater and a/c delete? I have some body plugs from newer stuff and a homemade cover for the heater. But am curious what OE looked like.

Man. That is a cool looking build. Too bad it didn’t work out. Think you can thin the runners and get it to work better? Or just stick with the dual plane?

Thanks guys for the input. I notice you race FAST. I am intrigued by the racing, and one of the big guys lives nearby I think here in Columbia, MO. Forgot his name but he was wearing the shirt and I talked to him at Menards lol. Anyway. With what these FAST guys are running, that's why I'm...

Me: Man I'd like to run faster, maybe hit 13s with my 318. Can I do it with adding 302 heads, and is it worth swapping to a Holley? Forum: Carb X is dumb. LOL guys, I'm a simpleton trying to push my 318 a little more. But I do appreciate the extra info as far as the details on carbs. I really...

Thank you for the breakdown! I have had issues with fuel percolation. But have had less issue since running a small spacer and header wrap on my fuel line. Considering going electric fuel pump at some point.

That makes sense. I am more the street car/car show crowd. I like reliability and having a clean stockish look. I'm not trying to make a 12 second Scamp. I wouldn't mind touching the 13s though lol. And from what I'm reading, some ported 302 heads with bigger valves could make that happen with...
