I have the same goal as you Thumper, hoping to get a 5.99 or quicker ET with my pump gas small block. I believe with some of your carb tuning on my pig rich 1050 Dominator I would be a lot closer to my goal. I am looking forward to your next outing to the track to see your improvement.

I hear ya but until I get to the track we won't know........this is how we learn.......

Hey man, just call and we can fix those issues and thankxxx...........

But.... Thumpman didn't you drill holes in the back of the scoop to release some of turbulence? Sorry I don't have FB.

Dom, you've been seriously thrashing on the Dart. Physically and mentally. I think your efforts will pay off with big returns. I'm going with a 5.95x, but I want to see pics of the time slip and track security escorting you off the premises.

Been hacking away at THUMPER forever but lately the results and issues I have found should help me fly...........5.95 is a stretch so I'll say 6.000 @ 112 w/a 1.31 60 ft.............I did drill relief holes and they helped but the faster we go the LESS air opening needed just look at an Indy car or old Pro stock cars. I may go w/a 2 1/2" cowl to stiffen the hood and the top will be the bottom in my case forcing the air right into the carb which I have seen done on some fast cars..............It is faster and smoother than ever so next thu. we'll see.........
