Doug, I had a 1.46 60’ the other night with the 10.5s. 13.5 psi, 3800 rpm clutch dump. Sub par burnout, just skidded forward as I did not get planted in box. My Hoosiers are 29”. I put a 29.5 in there but did not like how close to the dog leg the tire was.

The 90/10s are great for weight transfer and potential air under front runners but the compression is too little imo. My 67 would be pogoing 1-3 gear shifts. I never hit the Canton pan or Crites tubes but it must have been very close. I switched to Viking DAs on the front. Extension is nearly the same, (still tuning), but the controlled compression has car much more stable through upshifts.

On the footprint, if you make the decision to get a 10.5 tire under there the extra total 3” +/- of rubber will make a profound difference.

What are you running for slick pressures? Launch rpm? What is the contact patch?
Should be a way to hook them up

Been running an NGK range 8 for the last two seasons. Engine is burning oil but still running well, frequent plug changes a must. It should come apart but finances dictate otherwise at this time. Which direction, ( plug heat range), might I try?

Thanks.

That makes two of us Doug. I’ll see if I can find out anything useful.

IIRC the ARPs might call for 50lb/ft of torque? I try to do that with my Erson set up. Please listen to the Pro suggestions however.

How lean was the E85 getting to?

Hey Doug,
I have a used set of Comp 930-16 springs. (1.550)

They were set up at 330/120 with a hydro roller when I used them.

The short travel Morel hydro rollers I got from Brent for my 482 help with making peak power @6500. Engine will go to 7100 before nosing over. The oil specs from Morel call for 5-30. VR-1 Racing oil doesn’t come in that weight so I have been using their 10-30 for several years.

Harry, how does the back side of number four intake valve look compared to the others? La Brea like?

Get stocked on utility blades for your gasket making class.

You will want to have an overflow catch bottle off of radiator. If battery is in trunk you will need a cut off switch. Unless a car presents as junk,( which I know your car does not), tech will want you to be able to safely race. Glad to hear you are planning on attending!

No help with exhaust but was wondering if your car’s restoration story/history is on line anywhere. Love those Formal Roofs!

Good price

Harry, I run the 1/0 from the back to the front. The fuse between the cut off switch and the front of car is 500 amp. ( Rockford Fosgate). The 1/0 is tinned , high strand count. Any time I need custom big wiring for a car I reach out to CE Auto Electric in AZ. Tony Candela builds whatever I need and answers my noob questions.
