im still trying to get the feel of the car but when i leave it can be at 1500,2000,2500 it will spin a short mark about 2' like it is hooking then it turns lose and will fly wide open and burn the tire off.........trying to get this car to work (hook better) but just cannt find a way..dont get me wrong it has came way down but still i think it can be better.......
340 30''
about 11.1 comp.
comp soild 520/540 282s
x-cal intake gasket match
950 hp 82fr 4.5 pv/88bk no pv
36 toal time locked out dist. with msd 6al
727 rev. manual val.
9 1/2 verta dynamic (told it was maxed out 5000)
8 3/4 with 4.57
27/10.5 qtp
1970 duster about 3200
s/s springs with mp drag shocks back
comp 90/10 fr.
8 gal. cell....

i plan to try a 8'' verta some time soon i hope and a set of 28/10 slicks
but i think i can hook this set up a little better with what i have just need to find that last little bit.....i have had a 1.63 short time before but the best last outting was 1.67 no far off but i think it can get some thing better than a 1.63...does what i dec. sound like it's unloading the tire after the hit or what ... i know i need to get on flat ground and check my pinion angal an see just where im at, but have been able to and with all the ways thats said ti do it really dont know where to put the finder.....on the tail of the trans and on the fr. of the houseing i think but no to sure down loaded a sheet but has 2 or 3 diff. ways to do it.....sorry its long but really need to fig. this out also what kind of power do you all think it makes....

FWIW, my 28x11.5 QTP's like 13.5 psi with a hard burnout at the begining of the day, and short burnouts there after.

My 29x13.5`s like about 12-13 psi, a good 2nd to 3rd gear smokey burnout and NO dry hop and they hook better than the hoosier slicks so far for me.
