What's that old saying "Over tire under power". Last truly deadly low buck car I remember seeing was a tubbed BBC malibu ran 11.72 every pass. Thing was so over tired the ONLY way it could do a burnout was with water in the waterbox.

Once you get the car hooking consistently to where it's 60ft times are consistent then it's just a matter of tuneup. Some prefer weather stations and some when on gas will lean the car out till it stops moving around so much. Going from memory I think the rule was jet to perfect a/f ratio then go down 8-10 jet sizes.

Seeing how my junk is stick with a street clutch consistency is just a pipe dream. Sure is fun to drive though. One of these years I'll build a bracket only car/truck. When that time comes it'll be BB powered backed by a powerglide running high gear only. Figure if it's gonna be boring might as well do it right and have no shifting at all
