Probably wouldn't hurt to go 3/8" line. I plan on lowering the tire pressure, clamping the front segment of the springs a little more and taking the clamps off the rear. That way I can (hopefully) raise the launch rpm some. It may get some 90/10 shocks up front to help, too!

Nice! What was the converter flashing to? Might have been hard to tell if there was tire spin.
Similar to my combo aside from the heads/cam: 493, ported -516 heads 530 lift solid FT, 260/266 @ 0.050, M1, 950 HP full 3" exhaust 9.5" dynamic, 3.55's 325/50 Drag radial, Rancho single adjustable shocks /6 bars 90-10's up front
Shift at 5500rpm
Last pass was: 60 ft. 1.601 330 4.669 1/8th 7.28 1/8th mph 93.57 1000ft. 9.570 1000mph NA 1/4 mile 11.519 1/4 mile 115.39 mph
Made a big difference going from non adjustable shocks to Rancho (Calvert) 9 ways. Couldn't justify DA shocks for a 11 second car... Went from burning the tires at anything above a high idle, to being able to leave at 3k foot braking.
You have a few tenths on the table if you can get it to launch.
Faster, Faster until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death...

Thats very good numbers for a first outing. Congrats on doing good and getting out. That 117 mph is enough for solid 11.30's with good hook. Nice going. Ron Thanks, Ron! I think I can whittle it down a little. I aspire to run hard and drive it everywhere like you do!

Not bad at least your getting out Everyone's cars run so good here I was a little hesitant to post. I think it's a good start, though...

Going to Indy swap meet and posts like this are what make me go work on my car to get it going. 470" stroker with mch done up stealth heads should be a bit quicker than my old ~8.8:1 383 I had in it that ran 14.5's. So thanks for posting! Now off to set the motor in. Then gotta switch the 8 3/4 to the strange 60 and get a driveshaft made. Pretty excited! Haha, I have a Dana 60 waiting in the wings. May wait until Fall to see if I need to mini tub the car for traction. I'll be at Mo-Kan April 9th for the Mopar event and then again for the HAMB drags. Come by and say Hi.

I think I can whittle it down a little. I aspire to run hard and drive it everywhere like you do! Thanks for the kind words. I was going to say that I run 3/8 fuel line and it seems to be more then enough for my combo with just an 850 DP. My son still has the 5/16 line on his Dart and it has run 11.40's @ 117 with the 5/16 line. Glad to see that cool 63 running good. Ron
