Time for a little maintenance

All three darts are in the barn getting attention. Purple car blew the head gasket in November in Vegas so top end is apart waiting for specific gaskets. Mine is getting rear shocks and plug wires and the grey dart is getting a new stroker small block mill. Should be done to test in January at Sacramento.

Busy shop.

I like the way you play Darts Mike

Lots going on there Mikey...........enjoy the journey.......

Somebody PLEASE send Mikey some stickers to put on his toolboxes!

Nice lookin Darts!

Ya I guess it wasn't supposed to have commettic gaskets with oringed block. Just glad it held long enough for me to win Pro in it at MATS

lost my score card... what was the combo in the purple Dart?

Purple car has a 416 (dizzy in the back) with w-2 economy heads.

OK... I'm on track then. now to get that red car with the properly located distributer

Mikey.....which shocks did you decide on for the dart?

I'm afraid to tell you If I say anything less than Santuffs i'll be beaten Ive read enough of these shock posts I'm scared to even ask for help sometimes

I'll keep you posted after the changes If it makes a good enough gain. A couple things Al and jay make a good point on are Racepack and Converter. Until I can scratch up the extra doe I'm going to try simple stuff first.

Not everyone needs Santhuffs. Lots of good quality shocks out there. IMO best bang for the buck is Afco or Strange. They will work fine for most people. The one thing on a ladder bar car is you will want something that has stiff valving on the extension side for times when you are on a good track. We don't get a lot of that out here in the west from my experience on bracket days.

Racepak has only aided me in spending more money
