Would you still be able to cut a decent light on a pro tree (4 tenths tree)footbraking if you something like the throttle stop above.

Keep it simple. Try unhooking the linkage to the rear of the carb. Run it as a two barrel. It will put you close. Then adjust weight, take it out or put some in as needed. It wooked very good on a 3000 pound car that ran 10.40s. first run went 10.88. A trick Steve Petty showed me 10 years ago. Jr

If you can you can, slide the throttle cable housing forward to give you less throttle... it takes a lt more than you think I'm cheap and was considering this. Maybe mark the cable in increments once I can tell how much a set amount kills.

Maybe mark the cable in increments once I can tell how much a set amount kills. I'm cheap also... I made my mech throttle stop.. very simple and it works.. I'll see if the pic will post... I made this for my 1050 dom.. but you can see the idea EDIT The front round part slides into a hole the then rolls down over the rear carb stud... I did this so I could change over quickly so I could race 2 classes.. took all of about 2 minutes to change that and reset the shift light and 2 step I ran 6 or 7 10.002-10.007 in a row doing it this way.. I was super happy with it

Put a 'Glide in it . . . . . . Too obvious? Yeah that would be the cheap way to go Well, Mike, GY3 didn't mention CHEAP in his original post, so I just tossed an option on the table that nobody else had mentioned. Many, if not most cars that are set up to run 1/4 mile slow down both 60' and ET when a 'Glide is installed. In their defense, they are usually more consistent, less dependent on track prep, a little easier on drive line, and need less of a burnout, which saves on tires. So while not a cheap option, it's a valid one

I would use a combination of weight and plate.

I think the Grid is the easiest. And it lets you leave WFO to try to cut the .400 light

When I first bought the Arrow it would run 9.60s all out. Believe it or not with only 4 tenths in the timer and an air operated T/S the car was killer consistant.
5.53 @ 125 1/8th on the launch control..more left in her!
