Or you and I can switch heads, mine are brand new never assemblied.
New valves, springs, retainers etc.

Then your old heads can find there way back in to my challenger once more

Tom i saw you car at the track im sure i didnt see all your runs but the few i saw on saturday it looked like the car wasnt hooking up to good and maybe some shiftertrouble also if that helps you troubleshoot.
im not an expert of anykind and im not very good at judging how a heavy dragradial car on leafsprings hooks after to much looking at my friends light nova on ET streets wich has fairly good 60´s
very nice seing your car at the track finaly
i know how long you have been working to get there,and im sure you will get it all sorted out with some time and patience

Little update...

Checked what rpm on the converter stalls at. I got it up to about 3500Rpm before the rear tires got grip and started to push the car forward (3rd gear).. is this to low for the engine setup Im running???

Another problem: The engine also seems to "Bog" when I hit the throttle hard. Also a probable reason why my ET is not where it should be..

To cure the "bog" -Would a larger size squirter help? I dont want to change to many things at once... remeber Im a Noob!

Thanks

That's not the stall. Put it in 3rd gear, get rolling at about 10 mph, mash the throttle wide open quickly and see what the tach jumps to. Do not hold it wide open, just a quick stab to see where the RPM flashes to. That will be your flash stall.

..But problem is that the engine wants to "Bog" when I really mash the trottle hard.. so I need to fix that issue first...

Tried it again today, the converter flashes to 4500Rpm, seems OK for the combo, right?

I wonder if the problem why my ride wont run the time slip it should, well not taking into account the driver -Me, is the carburetor...

There is a serious "bog" when I hit the throttle hard. I changed squirters to the largest I have (QF # 55).. Seems that the acc. pump shot is just not enough.. The bog is really bad when rolling and hitting the throttle hard. The A/F gauge went up to 22.5 thats like leaner than He..ll.. From a stand still and if I ease into it kinda carefully, it will not bog, but easing in on the throttle when dragracing kinda goes against the whole idea of dragracing... Tried to brake it against the converter, but the tarmac was just to slippery, so the front wheels just started to slide, and when the front tires would hold, then the rear tires would just spinn with out traction...

May be going up in main and secondary jet would help, but then again that would just suck, cause the engine is already running fat.. if I run it even more, then birds will start to drop down from the sky if they fly over my ride... Ooh, and I run my engine on E85, but tuning the carb and trying to get rid of issues should still be about the same..

Need new accel pumps? Are you running open exhaust? You may benefit from a good long collector. I picked up consistant 2 tenths, on my big headed, big cammed, 383.

have you checked that you realy get a pumpshot from the accpump? so its not just some crap stuck in it,also have yóu checked that you actualy get fuel to the accpumpwell? im thinking your not getting the fuel there..

that explains it atleast from what i saw at kjula i just thought you had a shifter problem or something other strange since i couldnt here what or if your engine did anything at the startingline with all the other cars beeing so much louder,that hemi is very quiet

I think you should put the old cam back in the engine...The new cam you have is killing the engine..the 119 ex.C/L for one,and if you are running stock rockers,you need the check the lift at the intake valve........Stock intake rockers lose about .100 lift.......you are chocking the intake side for flow,,and over scavaging what little fuel thats getting in there,,,,Yes I know the car is heavy,,,But I would try the old cam,,You have,,no cost to try this.....Hope this helps.....
