Another new best. video added - 09/03/22 10:29 PM

I wheeled my duster Friday and I’m letting my son race it today and tomorrow. I’m not saying how much lighter he is but Matt ran a new best with my Edelbrock headed 408.

It’s a good kinda hurt. I switched transmissions this year going from a 1.98 low gear to a 1.80. I had gone some 1.25 sixty foot times but was getting up to high. It’s less violent now.

Thanks guys. I love to tinker and it’s paying off nicely. Last three times out I haven’t had the hood off except to give the shocks a few clicks.

The conditions are on the time slip above and around 3000 feet on my set up. My gauges read about 400 feet low I’m thinking but I have to much info to change them.

According to Norwalk’s and the online app my gauges are just a hair low.

We wrote the weather info on the my slip from my gauges. The nice printout is a free app that Norwalk has. My son could check to see what I ran online Friday while he was working 40 miles away. As long as you know someone’s car number you can check their runs from years ago.
