Hey Anyone just leave the stock carb on and go racing?

Is it just me or... Is there no schedule posted on the Monster Mopar page? Also, can't find any payout information....

Check this out: Need to buy a copy of this one. This pic was taken for the final of the 12.00 index series at No Limit Raceway. I had the car dialed. I took 6* of timing, I put the street avenger 670 carb back on. I filled up the gas tank and I threw the spare from my trailer in the trunk...

Hey: I'm thinking the Calvert fronts are too loose/violent for my car, and would like to test some conventional shocks in the front. Certainly they don't improve the 60' and now the car is doing herky jerk on launch. Sadly, about two weeks before coming to this decision, I pitched my...

Well, After Ma Mopar ruined Monster Mopar for me with their crappy side gears, I need a new center section, and I would like to have it in time to race this weekend. I'm toying with paying Moser's ridiculous price. Anyone have an opinion on the locker over the Tru Trac? I'm sure either...

Hey All: If I'm going to keep racing the car, I'm getting rid of this bench seat. With the shifter location it makes the posture impossible, and I'm sure its also ridiculous heavy. Anybody ever install poly seats in a Dart? I'd rather not butcher the floorpan if that's an option...

Hey All: Not the best weekend at the track. Hot and sticky, and my cone sure grip has finally started peg-legging on me. One wheel peel = embarrassing. Apparently 1.63 is the best 60' I can get out of a failing unit. Anyways, some Corvette club was there, so I had a lot of fun showing them...

Hey All: I have a bog in my car I can't seem to tune out. I leave off a transbrake and the thing goes, then bogs, then goes. Sometimes it turns the tires a bit when it picks up again. I've tried less burnout, more tire pressure, two step adjustements, and adjusting the cal tracs and rear...

Hey All Looking to get into something I can just run to and from the local track to run brackets without a whole lot of fuss. Would a Dakota R/T be a good choice for something like that? Fill it up with gas, throw some drag radials on and have at it? Thanks Steve

Hey All: It has rained all but two weekends here. I haven't gotten my car to the track yet. Got all this new dyno certified horsepower and no chance to use it!! Steve

Hey All: Putting the Dart on the dyno today. Only change since it ran 11.70 last year is I swapped out the Super Turbo mufflers for some Ultra Flows. Car seems to like it. junkyard 5.9 shortblock Iron Ram 1.9 valve heads custom cam 224/230 .536/.544 Air Gap Quickfuel 750 1-5/8...

Hey All: Anyone have pics of the roll bar in their dart or valiant? What does it look like from the side with the bar in it? I'm used to cars where the "B" pillar kind if hides the bar. I always said I'd never put a bar in my car, but I guess never say never... Thanks Steve

Hey All: Trying to locate a new place to dyno my car. The close place is a Ford dealer, and well, they're not exactly motivated, and the prices are high. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Steve

Fired up the Dart today. Its amazing how much hearing that sound will cheer you up! Best pass last year was also the last pass. First time out with the Quickfuel carb, car went 1.56 60' 4.7 330' 7.37 1/8 91.29 mph 9.71 1000 11.707 1/4 113.34 mph 5.9 Magnum out of the junkyard with some...

OK Guys, I'm having a helluva time choosing a carb, and I don't seem to get anyone serious on the phone when I call around. Here's what I've got now: 5.9 Magnum stock shortblock. Iron Ram (EQ) Magnum heads RPM Air Gap intake 1-5/8 headers, 2.5" exhaust with mufflers. Transbrake 904, with 3800...

Hey All: Which do you think would be more consistent in a bracket race, index race environment? a 318 or a 408? or do you think there's any difference? Say ET range is the same. 11.70 - 12.00 Thanks Steve

http://www.streetlegaltv.com/news/v10-challenger-drag-pak-announced/ They'll probably put it in M Stock Automatic or something..... Steve

Hadn't seen this one before: YouTube- KCIR Nostalgic Drags 2009 - Nitro Funny Car #2 Its the only funny car I've ever seen with an antenna and door handles.

Hey All: Anyone on here race at this track? Might also be called Panama City Raceway. Is it a decent place to race? Thanks Steve

Hey All: Finally got my 11 second pass yesterday. Straight off the trailer car went: 60' 1.61 330 4.82 1/8 7.53 mph 89.76 1000 9.91 1/4 11.92 mph 111.93 Then the track proceeded to go to hell and couldn't hook at all the rest of the day. Untouched junkyard 5.9 shortblock, 1.90 valve Iron...

Hey All: Been thinking of cutting the plenum divider in my air gap to see if i can squeeze some extra out of it. Looking over the manifolds on Edelbrock's page, I noticed that the Chevy Air Gap is cut pretty serious straight from Edelbrock, and that the Ford 302 air gap is cut, but to a...

Hey All: I'm using aftermarket valve covers and air cleaner, so I don't have anyplace to run the evap hose, or at least I think that's what it is. There's a hard line coming from the tank, it runs up the inner fender on the passenger side then goes to rubber. It was attached to the cannister...

Well, I got my dart back together from this fiasco : http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=94752 so I could do some quarter mile racing at No Limit Dragway in Indiana. It was still tapping a little, but I turned the rev limiter down and hoped for the best. Here's the video of...

Hey All: Track opened so I got the car together the best I could and took it out to Terre Haute on Saturday. Combo is a 5.9 magnum shortblock pulled from the junkyard. Supposedly a low mile deal. 1.9 Iron Ram heads from Hughes. Custom Comp camshaft (224/230 hydraulic roller), air gap intake...

Hey All: I know you're not supposed to run antifreeze if you race. Does anyone put anything in to fight corrosiion? Steve

Hey All: Well, got some tickets to Pinks All Out in Indy next month. Woot! I've been trying to get my '71 Dart set up to go. It was an all stock 318 904 car when I started. Between bad luck and the economy taking a crap (so very limited money to throw at the car) , the issue is in serious...

Hey All: There used to be someone around here with "Yeah its got a 318" in their sig that looked like a bumper sticker. Anyone know if they really made a bumper sticker like that, or where one might be had? Thanks Steve

Just curious how everyone is doing, if you have specifics, let us know!

Hey All, I've got this Turbo Action cheetah shifter, and I'm not sure how it's going to look with the cable coming out the front. I've used their shifters before to good effect, but I don't like the idea of having a hole in the carpet (or the floorboard for that matter) right out on the driver...

Hey All: Anyone have any opinions on this? I'm building up my 904 and trying to decide which to go with. Do you have to activate the brake to get reverse on the Griner? Thanks Steve
