Bad340fish master Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 8,022 Tulsa OK	I am going to guess around 100. My big goal was to run drag week this year and I was able to do that, 14 came from drag week at 4 different tracks. Another 10 at the local mopar race and the rest is all TnT. TnT went OK for me this year, as it seemed I was able to make 10-15 passes easily at each one. 68 Barracuda Formula S 340

Started our year off in Bakersfield for the March Meet where we made four test runs, and four rounds of eliminations. Every hit except the run where I went out had pretty much the same 60ft time....car was killer, and then two weeks later I hauled to MaTS so it could be delivered to it's new owner. Didn't see that coming, but it was a good 28 year run.

Even better only three first round losses all year, that is important when you chase points. But the best I won the Outlaw Street track Championship for the 2nd year in a row at Beaver Springs Dragway, this year leading wire-to-wire.

Maybe try some of these shocks, they are cheap enough to be worth a try to get rid of those air shocks.

TheTieWrapKid member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 168 North Texas	I've run the car with the Mopar 4 speed long shocks - probably 1.80s. I hit a best of 1.78 or so with the Koni fronts and air shocks in the back. I was trying Summit white front shocks to settle down the handling, which it did but they don't rise as much as the Konis. I had switched from bias ply to radial front tires which helped the handling so I can probably go back to a more aggressive front drag shock. I have been home porting and tweaking a little on my old cast crank 340 and the power is up some. But the 60 ft is at an all time worst. LOL. I had set aside some gas shocks from my 1500 truck in case that might work. I didn't know if they would fit on there just right. It might be fun to try them also. Something easily adjustable like a QA1 would be nice on rear to tune easily. Oh,one more thing : I have new slicks on there, the same as I had used before ( 9 x 28 MT same compound ). Anyway, thanks, and back to our regularly scheduled program !

With your port work your (most likely) making more power and when you make more power the shocks are even a BIGGER factor... for some reason people tend to think as soon as I make more power I will get a better 60'... well that works backwards(you just spin longer).. the QA-1s are a decent shock for the money... I run the OLD 12 way QA-1s and am very happy... also get a quality set of front shocks... if your Koni's are adjustable.. try them

Only ran it all out 4 times...it needs an anti-roll big time Got my 8 sec slip and there is plenty more left. I will be running IHRA Div 1 S/R with a vengence this year for sure.. 5.53 @ 125 1/8th on the launch control..more left in her!
