Here is a compilation of some runs from the weekend , first time out with the new bars on and 60' were pretty much within 3-4/1000 all weekend from 1.268 - 1.272. This is still a mild tune on the pump gas 572 and after coming across a few things late I think there is a bit more left. We will see in the next few weeks.

Great looking car! Looks like as the runs progress the rear axle is under better control. I don't see the wheelie bars bouncing much in the last runs.

Did your car pick up any ET after installing the wheelie bars since it is not picking the front tires as high as before?

Rear shock is way to loose on the rebound . The car goes , hop ,hop, hop , after the first hit .


What kind of rear suspension do you have ?

Same ET and Ladder bars with cheap shocks that I do not believe are even made anymore, Avo?

The aluminum 572 pump gas motor just replaced my 14.2/1 compression 501" motor and they run almost identical ET's although this one still has a bit of tweaking to be done for sure as it is lean right now and not much timing in it.They also share identical 60' times with the 4.10 gear that rarely vary more than 3-4/1000 so as bad as the shocks might be it has worked.
