Been a wintery mix here the last few days. Replacing the broken 8 3/4 with a Dana 60 and checking out the 727 this winter.

Wow, I see quite an improvement. What changed?

Air Pan sealing carb to scoop, a little tuning, Good Air - DA was at 1ft. After always running pump 93, I tried some VP MS109 for the first time. Supposedly good for about 20 or so hp.

I'm trying to swap out the Wedge for the Hemi that MM built for me just before they stopped doing builds. The Hemi is EFI so I need to build a high-pressure fuel system. I have most of the parts but no time. The new job has me working lots of hours so the hobby stuff is suffering. I need to update my safety stuff to pass tech at the track. I bought a new SA2015 helmet, new tires and I need to send my belts out for a refresh. Hope to get out to Keystone this coming season.

I stink at names too so don't worry about that. If you see me in the pits, walk up and say hello. I'll do likewise if I get by your pit or see you in the staging lanes.

Its guys like you Steff that peak my interest in building a Gen 3. Very few have this engines running like they should be capable of but a few like you are getting there. Great job.

Beautiful car and can't wait to see it up close. I rent spot 58 (Jack Lamberts old number) on the left side of the track at Keystone. Stop by.

Brad Watt





This guy here I gotta thank more than anyone. He continues to try to pry my butt out of my Lazyboy chair to finish my heads up car. He's told me what nitrous plugs to order, pointed me in the right direction to purchase a nitrous scale, and even offered to meet me at the track to give me a few pointers. Thanks for the help Brad and fingers crossed it will hit the track in 2019. To the guys I missed in this post love the pictures and upgrades that are going on. Lets show the World what true Mopar guys can do.

Very good, glad you posted Cadamore as you seem to enjoy getting in the occasional jab on G3 Hemi guys. Can you give your current combo and weight that got you into the 5s in the 1/8th?

Heck I jab everybody sooner or later but I usually get it back. You gotta keep
It on the light side or it gets boring. Some guys have zero sence of humor.


First off the reason I stay with old school stuff is budget and what I can and have bought stuff for. I have 7500.00 in my current R3 solid lifter cam engine in my car right now that’s gone 5.98@2860 pounds. It is built more for bracket racing with lots of ET left on the table. I set the valves once this year and changed the oil once. 14-32 slicks instead of probably .15 quicker radials. I had around 4500.00 or less in my Edelbrock headed 408 that went low 6 teens in summer PA air. These I can build in my sleep. Gen 3’s I see guys buying and selling parts before they even start their builds. Some like the one listed above have the Gen 3’s figured out. Most don’t.

Need to throw that budget mindset right out the window if you ever plan to be competitive in a heads up world. Budgets and heads up dont go together. Anyway, get that damn thing done already, I dug the car when Stephen was shoeing it and would like to see it making laps again
