Made the 1st three hits on a new rear end and trans last night. I really changed the combo going from 33x10.5 to this smaller 29x11.5. I now have a little to much gear but it's not bad. I was thinking I would loose some bite but the 1.31 sixty foot was pretty close. I need to get some more seat time since it's been five months since I drove it. lol.
Time slip looked like
1.3181
3.9252
6.0882
112.71 mph

Had a blast and nuttin broke

Thanks gents. combo is 440source stuff in a stock block ha ha ha! With big heads and cam and EFI. 541 ci still a lot left but I'm getting use to the trans break. Hits hard and let's u know your on a pass. Going to tame it down a bit and bracket race it a little after I find out what it's best is.
This was the third hit on new ladderbar brackets, moser60,and Tranzact protree break 727. I am happy I can still put one together and not touch it, then go straight down broadway. It makes all the hard work worth it when things go right.
Here it is with the big tires

looks good, sounded great. They really let you go down track after a burn out. Try that here and you might as well keep going. Only people that can do that stuff is the OPS cars.

Weren't you putting a turbo combo together a while back? I may be wrong?

That thing leaves out!!

They asked me to burn through the rosin and VHT. I didn't want to blister my new tires so I didn't burn em off. You can see him ask when he comes to my door.

Car count was low but it's the end of the year. I did drag the pan a little but it aint leaking. . If I would have shifted it would not have drug.

Yep now that the Valiant is running it time to get back on the turbo avenger.
