That 60 ft. times is outstanding up bow I know some very successful NHRA SB Mopar stocker racers that would kill for those 60s shruggy The 1/8 miles times don't seem to jive with those 60. ft times to me workHow about some of the other SB racers on here, how does his 60 ft compare to yours? shruggy I'm thinking that the motor is running out of fuel in the upper gears, maybe not work


My 60ft is usually 1.33-1.34 with 4.56 gears and 30 in. tall drag radials.


1.33 60 ft,6.21 at 110.59 in the 1/8, pump gas small block,2950lbs,drag radials,mufflers and driven to track ...

I'd advance the cam to 103 or 104. The headers may be holding it back on the top end. My 408 was 10.9-1, ported Edelbrocks, 260/264, .628/.633 flat solid, 1 7/8" Hedman headers. In street trim on pump 93 went 1.40, 6.70. In race trim it went 1.38, 6.57 on pump 93 at 3260#.

Maybe it's here somewhere and I'm not seeing it but, what is the lobe center on your cam?

Add more gear. 10% gear is 10% torque. It already looks like it runs to it's potential.

I would advance the cam.. increase the stall and change
the gear... that will pretty give you all of the torque
you can find... if thats a 108 cam I would think of 102
or less... check the clearance

salut wedgeman! the cheapest way to add torque is to lengthen collector extensions. also, no carb spacer or a thinner one could help if it hasnt been tryed before. let us know of the results.

Go .004" tighter, then .004" looser from std' lash setting to see if the motor responds.

Might want a larger or smaller cam profile.

if you use an exhaust system, you could use cut-outs right after the headers. hooker and hedman make them among others. even electrical units are available.

the end of the pri thats all you want

Id have to say gears or more compression as well. I recently went from the stroker norm of flat top zero deck slugs to the off the shelf wiseco 8cc domed and it made a world of difference in only the pistons were changed, rebalance.

I did put a post up that if you changed any or all
would change the torque.. but advancing the cam is one
of the least costly ones

hi wedgeman. try adding a length of tube on the open end of the cutouts. that is what im doing on my street car when i go racing. i open the caps on the cutouts and add a collector each side. it is well worth it. i never raced at st-eustache but i have been there several times in the past wrenching for a friend of mine who was racing on the road course. i personnaly go to napierville dragway once or twice a year when i want to go racing. as we speak, i am rebuilding the differential i broke last fall. i just finished setting-it up this afternoon.
