Didnt have enough tuning parts for the carb. Haven't worked with Holley stuff in years. But at the end got it close on the leave. Once the leave was close the shocks were too loose. Now at fulll tight it carries about 55ft out. Have some suspension settling to do. Haven't attacked the top end yet.

That's awesome!!! The MPH is looking great too and like you say just a little tuning and you will have that 8..... Pretty consistent!

You ever try to take that wheelie out of it dvw? My car was carrying the fronts to the 60 ft timers and sometimes beyond. Was full stiff on the extension up front. I had the shocks revalved and got to test it yesterday. With last years setup and carrying the fronts it was 1.23 started tightening the fronts and taking the wheelie out of it and with it just barely daylighting the fronts it went 1.211. I know not as much fun but just saying.

The shocks are Afco doubles. Had the fronts revalved tighter last year. Rears are Big Gun. After the big wheelie the fronts are now full tight. It then proceeded to repeat the 1.25's. It still carried to high about 55ft out. The carbs still need more work. I didn't have any more parts. Mark is sending me a care package of carb tuning stuff Monday. Also took a battery out of the rear before yesterday. So the rear lost 38lbs. So it's about 55.5-56% on the nose. It's never had travel limiters, or needed them. But maybe now it will. Or even tighter valving. Also have the option of dropping the ladder bars one more hole. That may help. Maybe some nose ballast. Hope not just took 17 lbs off with the new hood. The intake plenum is very large and the car is foot brake. we'll see if we can'y improve it.

First outing you did well with some of the initial issues. No doubt it'll go faster/quicker. Maybe try the 4" collectors now? LMK

Looking great Doug, serious lift there even with full tight on the ext.

Can you tweak the IC to keep it down a tad more?

How do the new carbs feel on the hit compared the your Eddys ?

Sean bring the collectors Thursday. Yes the instant center can come down. The rear height can come down also. So there are options. I want to test one more time with all the pump cams and squirters matched up. You can definitely see the blue cams on the secondary’s are slower to come in. The squirters were a guess and the only parts available. That way I have a good base on two different days. Mike had the track prepped really well. Let’s see what happens on a more normal day. Towards the end of the day when it was getting pretty good results I tightened the rebound on the rear shocks 2 clicks for run 9. And another 2 clicks on run 10. So at -14, -12, -10 it ran 1.253 all 3 times.

I may need some 4" straight to add length. I do have slip-on turn-downs. I'll be doing some welding this week so, let me know if straight will work etc. YES Thursday is still a 'go' but I'm telling everyone to keep it on the DL.
