I only lost 2 tenths. At T&T last week I forgot to put mine back in first after the burnout.I started off and made the whole run in 3rd gear.Was wondering why the convertor was stalling so much. Did not take long to figure out why. It slowed from a 6.39 to a 6.94 and it has 3.50 gears. That had to be bad on the trans or convertor.

It is a cheap way of slowing you car down without changing your throttle cable position.With this little spacer the more holes between the cable and the carb lever the slower you will go. I have done this to go from low 9's to high 12's, and everything in between

I shifted at 5000, put the throttle cable as far forward as possible and disconnected the secondaries and the car went from 11.17 to 11.82. I then fender raced and lost because I waited too long before putting a fender on him. That was the last time I tried to lose that much ET

It's much better to find the brake pedal later to tighten it up at the stripe. "Just a Bracket car dressed up like a streetcar"

Either that or put a HEMI in it. can't believe the Hemi guys here havn't keypad whipped you to death yet! They are still at the car shows impressing people with their hoods up. They will be here soon. It's a bracket/index racing question most Hemi guys don't read them, it's below their status. "Just a Bracket car dressed up like a streetcar"
