Quote: Mpar65, FWIW, Scott did a CR calcutaion with my pistons sitting .010 in the hole, a 039 head gasket, and figured a 74 CC chamber and came up with 11.09-1. When we actually milled the heads they cc'd at 64.6 cc's and he racalculated and we now have 12.05-1. I'm not sure how my Pro Tru pistons compare with yours as far as vavle releif volume but I would think your problably in the 11-1 range. thanks for the info bill. that would be cool if i had 11-1. but i wonder if that is to much for 93 pump gas? I am thinking about trying E85 this year? your car sounds like it will be a fun ride. what et are you shooting for? I hope to get mine to run 10.50 in the 1/4 and dive it on the street once in a while.best of luck Mopar65 3520 pound race ready 1973 Street/Strip Dodge Dart - Stock stroke 440/727 10.49 @ 125.0 on 93 pump gas & ET Street Radials.

I'm kinda gearing up for high 9's as I hear similar or mabye even slighlty less built motors in much heavier cars running 10.0's everwhere I look. I wasn't far off of being legal for sub 10's when this all started so that was a blessing. That being said, I really don't know what to think and I'm trying to remain realistic as to not disapoint myself. Kinda hard when every one is telling you "your gonna need a diaper after you let go of the button that first time"

I hope my car is fast enough to race in the 10.0 class. But i dont think it will be that fast. but one can only wish though lol. best of luck Bobby 3520 pound race ready 1973 Street/Strip Dodge Dart - Stock stroke 440/727 10.49 @ 125.0 on 93 pump gas & ET Street Radials.

Holy crap he's right I just checked the 2010 rule book. I wonder how many people are gonna get nailed by that one Not me! I got one. 14 point cage. Now, if I can just get it run fast enough to need one. Maybe my new engine will do it. Actually, when I started back racing 2 years ago, after setting out for 13 years, the cage was the first thing that was done. Old roll bars thet were in the car weren't legal for steet, much less S/P.

Have Jim or Steve or a machine shop check the kit. Then grind a tiny bit off your oil pickup boss and bores for clearance. DONE. Come on Ted...I know you've been working 60 hours a week........BUST OUT THAT CREDIT CARD !!!
