From 3,000 down to 2900 in the high 8s will get you .08 as an example. 8..603 156 mph best, 2905 lbs 549, indy 572-13, alky

At Cordova Tim went 7.35 @2355#s then we added 96#s to get to NHRA wieght and the car went 7.45 Larry "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." Thomas A. Edison

Most of that time was picked up in the 60� due to better weight transfer. I haven�t tried it yet, but I would be willing to bet that if I pulled the back bumper off instead of the front, the gain would not be as much. 67 Barracuda street car, 408, e85, 1.38 60', 6.44 @105.9 in the 1/8 mile, 10.19 @130.5 in the 1/4...so far....

He's about 75 lbs lighter the truck picked up about a half a tenth overall So its not exact, and diff combo's would vary. Im sure a high winding small block in a moderate heavy car would show diff gains than a 500 inch big block in the same car....JMO [color:"red"]65 Hemi Belvedere coming soon [/color] [color:"#00FF00"]557" Indy engine 1.07 60ft 144mph in the 8th 2100 lbs package [/color]
