We all went to Capital raceway in Md yesterday including my brother with his 64 Plymouth and some other Moparts members. My brothers car was working good yesterday as he ran 10.45 three passes in a row from the first to third round on a 10.45 dail. In the final he went .002 red and ran 10.47. He won some cash and was happy. I had a few problems as I tried backing my timing down to 34 and the car did not like it as it slowed a few mph and only ran 11.02 @ 121. Put the timing back at 38 and ran 10.83 @ 124 as that was the only change I had made on the car. I am usually about a 1/2 tenth to a tenth slower at this track then Cecil where I ran 10.76 so that was in the ballpark for me. I had a blast and got to see Joe (Preddy) and his cool Roadrunner and Jack with his cool Cuda. Jack ran out by .001 as he ran 10.19 on a 10.20. Him and I both did that last year also. I went red with a -.023 lite. But the bummer was the other guy cut a .215 lite. Ah man I did not want to get caught sleeping and I most likely could have won that round sleeping. Ah well I had a blast and nothing broke on the car. Ron My brother's 64 My rear tires are actually shot as I never did hook real good yesterday but it got a little air.

She may like a nice 950 CFM with a small spacer. If I make it out to MIR with my car pending on trailer issues and you find a little pot of travel money as well as a trailer, I'd loan you my Bigs 950 with some jetting to see what it does. We almost have the same cam. Mine is at 640 lift across but I have 1.5 rockers and a bit lighter in weight than your car. street car as well.

Ron, I've seen your brother at the BSD Nostalgia races, and at a couple of the 422 All Stars events. He's a tough customer....good job. Congrats!

Yeah, but he wants to drive it on the street. I'm still waiting to hear of a good carb guru to get a dom to be civil on the street. I might try one if that happens. Oh, I might have opened a can of worms on this one. LOL.
My car is a street car that I race a few times a year lately and one drive would blow your mind as far as how nice and easy my car drives w/a box stock hp 8082-3 1050 on the street. I guess we could throw this in there with; You can`t run an 8' vert on the street or, no way a solid roller w/.680+ lift will live yadda, yadda yadda............. I must be a pimp after all.............. And when I post my new best of a 9.78 or better then what................
Heck I here the same thing that you cant drive a Dom on the street but as you said they say the same about 8" verts and I know many who drive 8" verts and 1050 Dom's on the street. And I am always willing to try something if I want no matter what anyone says as I always need to find out for myself anyhow. What intake do you run if you dont mind me asking and what gear ? Also is yours a low or high block ? Thanks , Ron
I`m running the Victor manifold(4150 flange)w/an adapter which will be highly modified this time around by Ed Moser but, you could run an M-1 dom flange and get it done although I believe you`re running a dual plane which I would not but that`s me and your car`s haulin......
I went with the Indy dual plane as since I decided to have Dwayne open the intake ports up to max wedge size I figured I may lose some low end so a few people told me the Indy dual plane would help my low end and still pull strong up to 6500. Dwayne also said it might be a good choice for my combo and I am very happy with it as the low end is good. But you know us car nuts as if we think another setup could go faster then we have to try it ! I just dont know if I will lose any low end with a single plane and if I do will the top end more then make up for it ? And of course there is only one way to find out. My question to you and any one else is do you think any good single plane will fit under my hood and not be much if any taller then this as I cant go any more higher then this setup here with the dual plane as it is within 1/2" of the hood ? Ron

I see that you have a one inch or so spacer. Try a Maxed windowed Victor with a Dom. My single plain pulls really good on the low end and makes up more than most on top. I do have to work to improve on my 60ft to match what my mph is showing. I think it is the retard on the cam and or timing.
Yes I have a 1" open spacer on thar Dual plane as thats all I can fit. And I like using the plastic style (cant spell the right word) or a wooded spacer as it helps the hot soak so much. And the only retard problem I have is the guy behind my steering wheel. Ron

Dang Ron you guy's are setting new best and taking money home to. I can't seem to make it past second round when I go. Great job for your brother. Your car is getting pretty good air for worn out shoes.
Sorry as I must have missed this yesterday. Thank you for the kind words. Hopefully we can get together one day at a track close enough for both of us. Ron
