I like the stock and ss but what gets me is tf and funny car. They make my body go into spasms when they hit the throttle. lol
TF and funny car do make me warm and fuzzy, nothing like the sound of 400hp per cylinder.I like the stock and ss but what gets me is tf and funny car. They make my body go into spasms when they hit the throttle. lol
Yeah, amazing too! Ride, comfort, handling, and performance is just unreal..... and.... AND.... 30 mpg in a 500 horsepower car. UnrealI like slow motion video. lol the new cars ride so nice, they appear to be going slow.
Yeah, they don't get the attention they deserve. Yet so many are spending months and years to install the new FI hemi's, 4 wheel disc brakes, rack n pinion steering, and a OD tranny into their classics. I guess the time has to pass before they will be appreciated.Me and my cousin with our boys were at the nationals last year, every-time the new cars came around, people were leaving the grandstands, to grab a coke and a hot dog.
They just do not have the same sound as the old stuff. Yes they are fast, but all sound the same.
I've seen Top Fuel, Jet cars, and all the rest. And they are entertaining. But my favorite is old classic, true street cars. The ones the guys drive in, run, and drive home. I guess because they are in my worldI like the stock and ss but what gets me is tf and funny car. They make my body go into spasms when they hit the throttle. lol
The picture of the Lenco shifters in the car at the oregan mopar nationals.
I haven't seen one of these in years. They are neat. To shift to the next gear you just pull the next lever. It's like a manual shift automatic. You can add more units to it I believe.

I don't want to hear it! I fought the Heat last week.I'll have to see if there is a test-n-tune class tomorrow (or trophy). If no special event, maybe I'll get down there.... get my Report card. See if I'm a honor roll student or on the D/F list
I hear 90*. see about the humidity.
yeah, yeah, I know. But at least you went to a mopar eventI don't want to hear it! I fought the Heat last week.
Uphill both ways and all that...
13.7...
2.45's to 2.76's LOLYou went from stock exhaust manifolds to Doug's headers and you did something else I can't remember..?
Tires do nothing at this point. It dead hooked before and I'm sure it will dead hook now.That's right the tires but still one tire fire but oh yeah the gear change wait a minute three things..
Leaving in a few minutes. Supposed to be 86* with 73% humidity. Even considering the weather conditions, I'll be disappointed if it doesn't go faster than a 13.7.I'll have to see if there is a test-n-tune class tomorrow (or trophy). If no special event, maybe I'll get down there.... get my Report card. See if I'm a honor roll student or on the D/F list

Report Card time..... Couple of clean passes of 13.57 and 13.59. Tried the 770 vacuum secondary for a run and it didn't quiet run what the 750 DP ran. Pictures are of a couple of dragstrip mopar buddies...… The et slip is against my pal in the Duster.

I don't have 4.11's and a Coan converter... LOL. Plenty happy with the 13.5's from a 2.76 geared stock 360Nice R/T. Copy what the other guy did for the 60 ft.
thanks. Probably the stock smog heads will get swapped. I have a set of magnum heads with the hughes spring kit or a set of 596 heads that I home ported. I expect to pull the 2.76's for 3.23's too.Nice job...... you’re sneaking up on it.
What’s the next upgrade?
my butt dyno was right!Oh yeah! I'm arguing your butt dyno! LOL
Nice job...... you’re sneaking up on it.
What’s the next upgrade?
I had just fries today.... LOL and lemonade. It just got too stink'n hot and muggy. I cut out early. Rained most of the way down there...A large order of chill cheese frys.
Is there a target you’re aiming for, or are you just stepping up the combo incrementally and seeing what’s worth what?
What cam do you have in the motor now?
