Fastest Mopar Leaf Spring Car??? - 10/20/14 08:51 PM
Congratulations to Jason Digby, as he likely owns this title now. At Holly Springs this past weekend, his Dart went 4.66.
600" Predator headed motor, leaf springs, EFI, dry nitrous and on 275 drag radials. If there is a faster small tire leaf Mopar, I don't know who it is

It should go faster in the future. This was this "groups" first outing.............I think .50s are easily attainable, but at these ETs the chassis setup is critical and I think the car sits a little high, which will make it want to wheelstand and they were having that issue over the weekend. They get that sorted out, I believe it will be faster. They had a 1.16 sixty foot which is pretty good, but there is a LOT left there as some of the top leaf cars are in the 1.0s on killer tracks.
Still it was a GREAT weekend for Jason and crew. They ran a career best by a ton and the car stayed right there all weekend, as well as going a few rounds in the class they ran

............LOL...........I thought you did a great job Chad in a new to you car. I know that car "feels" different than your turbo deal by a bunch, so you did a good job on the runs I saw.

They also went a 1.12 and a 1.13 sixty foot on the best two passes. they really believe that they have a very good chance of going some 40's when they get her all sorted out.

Re: Fastest Mopar Leaf Spring Car??? - 10/21/14 04:02 AM
The most impressive part of the car......the leafs are 20" stock front segment, everyone else is using the real long front segment, even the GM guys. Congrats to all involved in the car !
Guppy is the next leaf spring car I would expect to see putting up some numbers. Depends on the class, I'm pretty sure x275 is 3250, but im not 100%

Thank you so much Monte, We are so glad to see it coming around and thanks for your encouragement all along the way, hoping to do some over the winter upgrades and get this thing in the winners circle in FEB in LEAF SPRING…..

He took weight out of the car and is 3076 now.
I took a photo as a joke when I went though tech without my doors that showed 3076… We started the weekend at 3148 on the 4.66 pass but added weight throughout the weekend as we were starting to manage the power.. the 2nd round elims it went 1.12 4.67 and that was a .2sec peddle to get it back in shape.. I am gonna say we were at 3175 on that one…we learned a lot for the first time out with a whole new team and I couldn't be more excited...

What type of trans is he running, And gear ratio in trans and what rear gear is in it? Estimated HP & how much NOS. 1 or 2 carbs any additional info on engine combination. Looking to change our combo over winter.
Thanks

EFI 610" Predator headed motor with a tunnel ram and two throttle bodies. One stage of dry nitrous fogger. Pretty sure it has a glide in it, but not sure of ratio

Re: Fastest Mopar Leaf Spring Car??? - 10/22/14 11:35 PM
Thanks,
Planning to go to a glide for next year. Coming out in 2nd gear now with the 1.45 gear is good, but think we can go faster with a 1.80 gear. Plus a little lighter too.

Re: Fastest Mopar Leaf Spring Car??? - 10/23/14 12:25 AM
think it's a 400

Re: Fastest Mopar Leaf Spring Car??? - 10/23/14 03:44 PM
Not quite I've changed plans to many times. Now I'm on the right track. Gotta get the rotating assembly balanced get a cam cut and start bolting it together. The car needs a lot too, but next summer is my goal. To bad there is already a lot of good looking black 69 darts out there. Might have to mix it up a little bit. What are you running for a front suspension now?
