It's amazing that in 2011, people still don't understand important things, like "shift recovery" and "useable rpm".

It has nothing to do with....."my big block is better than your small block, or vice versa.

Pity, I tell ya.

You can talk to some people till your blue in the face and in the end all you got was blue in the face If they don't get it by now 2011 they will never get it and thats why most are still stuck thinking it's the 1970's with .590 cams and TRW pistons. If the last statement offends you then you are who I'm talking about.

It's called being "caught up in a time warp". But.. they ARE entitled to think that way and can refuse to "roll with the times", by choice. 1970's, 590 cams and TRW pistons? TWO parts of the previous statement, you can still buy today, BUT the '70's, you can never get BACK to!! FWIW, Do not waste time trying to "educate" those NOT willing to learn OR, at least, listen!

a body big block chasis setup, 2 batterys in trunk ,spring relocation kit 12.5mt drag radials, dana 60 rear.now i think you would get more wheelspin with heavier car because ur trying to move more weight.

---

The lighter the car, the higher in the powerband
you would want your torque peak. You would get more wheelspin out of a heavier car when it's springs flex under power. The right gear/tire/chassis combo would cause a heavier car to "hook" well under full power. In your case with the A-body, you also have enough footprint (tire width) as well as tire circumference (in accordance with your present gear ratio) to "hook".

Hyper, No my 248* cam is not a solid. Its the old MP .509 I am stepping up to the MP .590 though with the new combo. Also #3000

And not to be left behind or caught up in the old time warp. Im going to test a modern comparable Comp cam. It does look much better on paper Im coming out of time warp, maybe.

That's another thing, to get a decent tire on an a-body you have to start cutting.

---

Not on a Duster you don't. I have 275/60/15 drag radials on 15X8 rims with 4.5" backspacing and they fit perfectly with no rubbing.

---

Yeah, but a Duster is just a Nova rear with a Valiant front clip..

---

My DUSTER is not a NNOVEE i can`t say it it`s a MOPAR please tail me you are a MOPAR guy and you joking because that hurts but cubic inchs makes horse power ..THANKS

Sometimes, people mistake these threads as a bash a big, or bash a small block deal.

I didn't see it that way at all and the few points I mentioned, I consider critical and therefore should be optimzed no matter the cubic inch, to attain the lowest possible ET.......IMO.
