Glad you started chasing chassis set up. Looks like it's making some steam, the sixty is killer, I'll bet that felt real good

First time out with my new 493 ci RBRE stroker.
1st run was an eye opener for me.

After crew chief Dave and I did a little chassis tuning, the pucker factor calmed down.

9.18 @ 145.4 with a 1.242 60' time!!
Not to mention 117 mph in the 1/8


I guess the added power/torque was wheel standing more than expected at first! Nice time slip.

Jim I knew it could happen. Thats probably why I was able to pull second so quickly. I think this saved some $$/damage.
It felt like it was going to do a blow over.
I should try a foot brake launch one of these times.
Anyway it's calmed down, with the emphasis on DOWN!
I'll see what it does @ my home track (Rt. 66) this weekend.
It is different than the 451. This engine doesn't jerk the wheels on the launch, it drives into the wheel stand if that makes sense?
I expected better 60' times, but the 1.24impressed me.
Thanks for the compliments Jim!
Don

Jim it did feel great! Not as much steam as yours.
Mine seems to do better in the first half than the back half of the 1/4 mile.
If it don't rain Sat. we can tune some more. Get some more seat time, although I felt at home on the last 2 runs.

That is a great 60' time, I would be happy with it.
