Most have heard the combo, but here is the short list. Mono, Caltrac, Dana 60, 4.56 gear, 29.5 X 10.5 tire, 727 ProTrans with pro brake and Aluminum drums (std. gear ratios), 8" Ultimate Converter with 6200 stall, ShadyDell 417", Coleman W8's, 16.2:1, big roller, 2"-2 1/8" step headers, some fiberglass, guessing the car weighs about 3050 to 3100. The engine wasn't on the dyno so no numbers to pull from. So, what do you think? First outing should be this coming week on either Wednesday or Friday.

I would be happy with 6.0's the first time out with expectations that it can be tuned into the low 5.80 range. I guess this would equate to about 9.20? I really want an 8 second slip, but it is probably not in the cards with this package as is....maybe low 9 teens in mineshaft conditions. Keep the guesses coming....

Darren Darren, Looks like it will be Kennedale, but will have to play it by ear on the weather. You are welcome to ride out there with us if you want. Just give me a call....I left my number in a PM.

The engine was run in on the stand on Sunoco, so I upped the carb two sizes all around to hopefully sneak up on the tune up from the fat side.

It will like more fuel I would start at 4 basline. Just my "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know." "It's never wrong to do the right thing"

I have exactly 0 experience with this fuel.

Hope the weather helps us out some. If it does I'll be there so if you need any help don't hesitate to ask. I'll be finding my tune up as well. I'll say 6.08@113 right off the trailer, and 5.92 by the end of the night. 2013 NHRA D4 Stock Champ #4 in the World IHRA Stock 2x IHRA Div.4 Stock Champ 14x Track Champ All using a Ultimate Converter Concepts converter.

I never know if I will be able to get away from work until the last minute. I normally don't leave the driveway unless it is ready to pull the trigger. I have some issues I am working thru on the programmable ignition.
