Just need a wagon to complete the trifecta! grin



If I could find a ratty old brown 80 wagon I’d probably sell my hemi d100 to make room if I had to 😂

Tried out the afco bgx rear shocks. Not too pleased. Can’t get the compression on the rear tight enough. Just wants to spin. Going back to the cheap Vikings that got me a 1.22 60’

Have the afcos revalved, easy fix when they are sold new if oyu do not call and talk to them they have "generic" valving in them. The big advantage to that shock is all the big name shock guys can revalve them as well as Afco.

Still riding the struggle bus. Only power change I’ve made would be firing 16 plugs vs 8 and a way better valve spring combo. Between the two it’s making way more power, so dialing the power management part in is throwing me for a loop. Potential bad MT tires are playing a roll as well. So I’ll know more once I test again on the radials. With it spinning off the hit and then getting back into it it went 128mph to the 1/8 with 8* of timing(15* last year) and 10lb boost less than last year when it went 139 not spinning so it’s definitely making some steam.

Currently at 3610lb race weight; I took the glass rear bumper off and put the steel back on so it’s about 60lb heavier. Stock 5.7 block, stock 6.4 heads with comp springs, good crank rods and piston. 1.80 glide. And two $800 turbos. Uncle Rico’s Dana 60 out of a van cut down with some caltracs. Stock goofy transverse torsion bars with Viking DA shocks.

Might try and get out one more time this year and go a little faster.
