Hey Ron , it weighed 3195 without me and a alum headed Hemi .
383 ss motor was 3050 without me. All off the nose of the car. Of coarse I had to add some weight to it as I have to weigh 3470 for ss/ja. I have been running it at 3560 ish so I will lighten it up a little also to get it a little closer to min weight. That is with me in the car.


Thanks Tom. If you dont mind me asking do you know the HP that 383 makes. I dont know anything about your 383 but thats a strong 60 so it sure sounds like a strong 383 stocker eng. How fast has it gone with that stout 383 ? Thanks , Ron

Ron, it is factory rated at 300hp, 😊 I have been 10.15 @129.98 in testing
Same set up at maple grove for div 1 points meet went 10.19 @ 129.xx
This is in bracket mode with 3 year old tires & 100 lbs heavy so it is pretty stout for a 383
I am in super stock not stock eliminator, the motor in the car was built by Steve Wann.
I will keep you posted on how things progress.so far in qualifying I have been .809 under the index in bracket mode, hoping to go .900 or better but the air is going in the tank for the summer.

I was on Mickey Thompson's web sight and they have 2 different NEW tires I am interested in. The ET Drag Radial 29.5/10.5 with the R1 compound and the Pro Bracket Radial 29.5/10.5 with X5 compound. All the specs are the same except the compound and the ET Drag Radial is 2 lbs lighter. I am running the 315/60 ET Street Radial now that is the same height but 1 in wider. I would think the first 2 would be the best of both words since they do not have any tread and are a radial but they are 1 in narrower.
Which one of the 2 new ones work the best?

D-50,
You may want to try asking Jason Moulton , from MT , over on Yellowbullet . He was helpful to me , though i have gone back to Hoosier radials . I have tried the lightweight Hoosier 9x30 , 29.9 dia . Was very happy but did not have enough gear . I am only a small radial guy , Hoosier 275 , with not enough power .
