Yup, I am hoping it will help hold the stock diff together. It will likely leave like a dump truck.

Other than the rear-end that is a nice combo. Best of luck and I'll guess it'll run 132mph the first time out 'uncorked'.
Haha, yeah, there is definetly improvements that could be made, rear end, shocks, valve size, heads, intake, car. LOL

No time, that stock cone diff will be obliterated. OK, if it stays together I'm going to guess 10.23/130ish

Kenny, What track you going too???

Looking at their schedule, this weekend is Jet cars.... So, if I run after one of those, good chance the car will go into the wall. I hate racing on Jet car days...

Oh, thanks a lot eh. If it breaks, I'm blamin' you. Haha.
We are on the road now after a few snags. About an hour from the track. Had a nail in the front tire and every tire shop in town was busy of course. Before I loaded the car I took it out for a boot, and well, we have a severe traction problem, not a bad thing though, should hook fine at the track!
Then when I was loading the car, the header collector on the new headers caught the trailer and pulled a slip tube out. Murphy's law eh? So, once we get to the track we will have to pop it back in the collector. So, I'm not sure I will get a run in tonight or not, but if not, that's fine, we are planning on racing all weekend, or until the diff goes now that Guitar Jones ginks'd it. Haha

I think your on to something there. The car left like a dump truck last year, so this time out will probably similar. I hope the 3.23's are a diff saver.
Tonight we didn't get to run yet, but the header is all back together. We took the exhaust off now so it will be ran un corked tomorrow. Stupid thing doesn't sound like a street car anymore though.

If I missed anything let me know.

Well, time trials should start soon here.
Some new updates, the air is around 5000ft. I finally got to weigh the car, and it's lighter than I thought. 3130lbs with out me, 3330 with me. The car is all steel, engine is cast iron, and the bumpers are fiberglass now. The heater is gone, as well as power steering, power brakes and sway bar. also, the exhaust is sitting on the trailer.
Sorry for the wrong weight originally, but that was my best guess since the last time I weighed it.

5000 ft is going to make difference, revised guess, 10.34 at around 132.

I have a theory on the MPH. This converter is super loose. It is at 6000 right out of the hole. I am clicking into high gear at about 900ft. It's slipping way too much up to because I can't get any rpm up top.
I Had a close call today... The air started getting better. I lost first round, so I was running the buy back round. The car ran a 10.76 on a 10.75 dial. Then a 10.75 on a 10.75. Then a 10.70 on a 10.70. That got me to the final. I pulled into the burn out box, and pressed really hard on the brake pedal. I heard a ping, and the pedal hit the floor. Lost the codder pin and the brake pin popped out.
So, I lost the round, which was a shame because the other guy broke out, but I am glad it happened in the burn out box and not the top end of the track.
So, best time was a 10.70 @ 127mph.AND, it ran a 1.55 60 foot haha. I think that last run would have been a 10.6x but what do you do eh?
I will make more runs tomorrow as long as high gear holds up

Is the reason your running short rear tires is because of your 3.23's??
Kind of... I prefer to run a 26" tire with these gears. The 27" X 10.5 ET Streets that are currently on the car came with the rear wheels when I bought them.
I have run as big as a 29.5 X 10.5 on the car before the sliders, with 5.13 gears. Here is a picture for comparison... I know I know, the little tires look goofy. Funny to see the looks on people's faces when that wide old Aspen dead hooks on 8.5's
