yeah, I think if I could have went the 1/4 today, it would've ran a 14.7 - 14.6. My 1/8 dropped from a 9.77 to a 9.57. Unfortunately, weather didn't permit it. I doubt I will ever prove it as I'm going to make some changes to the car.

What were the weather Corrections for this test?
Well, I had a nice head wind, which doesn't help, and some specs of drizzle before they got rained out and shut down, which heavy wet air doesn't help. The temp was cooler, that would help.

When you say heavier that sounds good but heavy wet, I'm not sure?
Look, I've had the 318 Duster down several times over the last 2 years in various types of weather conditions. The best it's ever run in the 1/8 was 9.77. Today was nice and cool, but certainly a head wind and it still ticked off a 9.57. Also, it always cut 2.3 60 ft and today, every run was 2.2's. It liked the 770

I'm really undecided if I want to throw some headers and stuff on this 318 and let it rip, or put a 318 magnum in it (original plan when I bought the car), or throw together a dirt cheap 360, or ?????????

Honestly though have you ever tried it? I haven't? I can't imagine I won't want to someday...bottles are for babies.....
I wanted to make a mild daily driver out of my 41 Studebaker and put a Mopar drivetrain in it so that might be the perfect Hidden Gem.

What ever happened to your buddy Yellow Rose and that big race you were having this fall? Did he lose and have to stop posting...he seems to have disappeared.
I've never personally put it on a car of mine. Been around it on a lot of cars. Without doubt it works, and a game changer. I could hit my 4.0 mustang with a 200 shot and drop from 15.3's to 12's.... till it broke
. - Look..... poke….. there is a place for it in some "heavy hitt'n classes", but for those that know me.... need I say more??????

I can tell you this from my few years of experience with this four inch arm, it doesn't disappoint no matter what cam or stupidity I throw at it there's smiles around every push of the foot.
Just spitballing some food for thought...

So when you posting an ET with the "new" cam, and back to more of a "street car" version that you worked so hard at all summer??

Well I'm sure I made my cam specs and such at least available to you. I guess the whole idea was waiting for yr. First thing this spring I'm ready.

Being very unserious with the car and the old cam with street tires 13.75 or something.
I guess you didn't hear, the race happened and jpar won because YR ran over a goats head in his lane. YR was slightly leading at the time. lol

we should get a couple things straight here for sure first of all that was 318willrun's buddy.
Second of all that was his race and I was going to participate but he didn't show up or communicate with me. I'm still willing to race somebody who will show up for fun.

I'll be dipped! I just checked on him and he was last seen today at 4 p.m. On the dot.
well, we have 2 threads with the J par/YR thingy...…. LOL. This thread is about the jawing now as I am done tuning with the 500 dollar budget. Not sure what direction I'll go...…we should get a couple things straight here for sure first of all that was 318willrun's buddy.
