Well this season is officially in the books after yesterday. 194 runs on the year, won a number of events, 2 Wallys, the Super Street Championship at my local track and had a fun time meeting new people and going to new events.
To top the year off the car ran a new best yesterday in testing.
incrementals:
1.374 60 foot
6.17 @ 111.08 mph
9.74 @ 136.90 mph
Only change from my normal bracket set up was tossing on a set of 325/50/15 drag radials. 2 inches less height and radial construction was worth quite a bit. The car still wants more gear, it likes shifting around 7300+ but is only going through the traps around 6900. I think there is probably another tenth available swapping from 4.10's to 4.30's or 4.56's but with a Dana, that's not a easy task.
Car is 3380# with me in the seat and has over 400 runs on it in the past 2 seasons with the only maintenance being oil changes.
Very happy with how this little engine is running. Time to freshen it up and get ready for 2018.

Good job in that mineshaft air! Hey man! What are you doing to freshen your engine? It will depend on what I find when we pull it apart. At the moment planning for a generic rebuild; Rings, Bearings and lifters. Will of course check valve springs and other common failure points while we are there, not sure whats going to need replaced honestly as this is uncharted territory for the G3. Springs are Beehives with a Max life treatment so they might be perfectly fine. Lifters might be fine as well but i'll change them for piece of mind.

Congratulations on a heck of a season, and new best!! Think the car will tolerate more starting line ratio? Obviously, you have this car DIALED IN!! 95% of the time it probably could. I've never felt the need to chase it however and risk losing consistency on those hot summer days. Also the car on 29.5x10.W's already hovers in the 9.95-10.05 range, and is only legal to 10.0.

Nice to see the G3's gaining some ground. It keeps us lowly old school small block guys pushing harder. Lol. A good Friend just picked up .20 going to a radial so I see those in my future plans next time I need tires. Now we need to search out some of that good minus sea level air.
1970 Duster
Edelbrock headed 408
5.984@112.52
422 Indy headed small block
5.982@112.56 mph
9.42@138.27
Livin and lovin life one day at a time
