So we FINALLY got to the track this year and wow did the drag radials and slapper bars make a difference!! (Hats off to @318willrun!!) The car is solidly in the mid 13's now when everything goes right, but... We drive an hour one way on the interstate to the track, and by the tome we get there...

So after Nick, Danys younger brother finally got a complete pass this year we entered him in the 2020SB Penalty box!2020 Small Block Penalty Box Race Sign Up In that thread mderoy suggested a calculator app 60' to 1/4 Mile Calculator - Wallace Racing So what we did was plug in Nicks timeslip one...

Well the track finally opened here and we got a chance to test the new trans/converter. But with the temp being so high that day, the 45 min trip on the interstate and the long line into the track and thru tech the car got pretty hot, 217 degrees !! her first launch it started popping out the...

We were watching a "car Show" on Motortrend TV yesterday about prepping a Camaro for the strip. Almost as an afterthought they installed a pre welded 4 point bolt in cage. Guess that's Chevy life, just buy a premade thing... Anyway, it made me wonder if anyone here has fabricated a 4 point...

So we finally got the 'Cuda finished and set a weekend to take it to Edgewater. with an engine idea stolen from here..360 TrueStreet Magnum Build Engine stolen from her moms Durango (200K miles) Threw a set of bearings and the cam suggested by J.Rob And a set of EQ 318B's. We got to the track...

So as Dany and I sit in here with her Magnum engine parts watching it snow (Damnit it's like 25 degrees in the shop!!) we started "bench racing" about a LA 318 that is sitting at the shop. The Hughes website does a good sales pitch on there "Steamroller" line but all a Google search will give...

Anybody else get a zippy set of Kiwi heads for Xmas?? Show me another girl that would be happy about that !!

So. all the tire failures this month have put a big dent in the race car budget, but we still want to try to move forward. Our original plan was for a cam swap, but i think that's out until next season. That leaves us with a "short snout" original Magnum cam. And no way to put an eccentric for a...

So this was Dany's 3rd weekend at the track, and I think she is getting the hang of it! She started leaving when the 2nd yellow goes out as suggested by 318willrun(thanks dude!!) and her reaction times really improved!! We also figured out the car speeding up on Sat VS Fri. On Fri we get there...

Another thing on the back burner, After I get the rear diff sorted out (eBay used 3.55's are whiney junk!! replacing this week with a virgin set) we are going to start the Magnum swap. At first this will be on the '66 904 original to the car (18 spline converter) which works fine, but if i am...

As I am looking over the "to do" list and replacing the ring and pinion (3.55's) on the Cuda for Dany's next Bracket Racing attempt I am wondering: Car now has the factory steel 8 blade AC cooling fan (need to attach the original shroud to the aluminum radiator somehow, that's what got me...

Just got back from Friday night test and tune. If these were your timeslips, what would your dial in be?

So Dany and I will be headed to Edgewater on Fri/Sat so she can have a try at brackets there this week. She was the SLOWEST car at Thornhill last time and probably will be at Edgewater too, and i know brackets is about consistency but it would be nice not to be on the "bottom". So, here is what...

So, while Dany is learning the basics of Drag Racing with the stock 273 2bbl, the long term plan is a Magnum swap. I have an '01 out of a Durango with 108K on it that i want to "fluff up" and install for her next. What i have now: Stock 5.9 Magnum engine LA timing cover Stock Magnum harmonic...

My daughter had her intro to the world of drag racing this weekend. We went to Edgewater in Cincy fri night and due to the rain right at 5:00 when the track opened she had the track TO HERSELF after they got it dried off for almost 2 and a half hours!! She ran "hot laps" with about 6 to 8 min...
