Someone is power hopping, look at the tracks




The hoping is the duster, I just a few day's ago put the trany in his car with a trans brake and the rear suspension is all stock with no traction bars of any kind and on that run she hoped bad but as it comes out of the stick it starts to skate like mine. its a 440 car and runs 10.30s and the guy running it,is in his 70s. so cutos to him. This coming winter I will be putting a ladder bar system in it for him.

Thanks every one for your overwhelming comments, this has been a huge investment of time and money over just the last two year not to mention the last last 32 years. It is great to no people can really appreciate the efforts we all put in to are Mopar's.

Thanks again. Steve

I still have it set for the street, 5 turns, I was only launching at 3500 rpm and not coming out hard into it, it was still braking loose, on that pass it finally hook for the first 20 feet and then broke looses just out side of the sticky area So I backed out a little, on my sec shift broke loose again so I feathered it until it hooked and then went hard in third, and forth.
How many turns do you set your at.
