Thanks ,, seeing how we have the same car and better gearing with the overdrive and better heads. Id think with drag radials we should be around the 9.0 range .. We start in may Ill post up what we ran.. thanks again

Ive only got to drive it on the street a little because of the terrible weather here. Its got a ton or torque , Im probably gonna have to find him a set of drag radials ,,, with street tires its all over the place when you get on it hard.

well the kid put his 650 d.p. on there this week and his mickeythompson street radials last week. last week w/ the tires he slowed down from a 9.01 to a 9.24. tonight he did better w/ a 8.97 after going to the D.P. carb. so now he is learning how to drive it all over again w/ just those 2 changes made. I think its got about an 8.80 in it when he gets good and comfy w/ the changes made to his Monte. How is youre's doing. I'm sure that o-drive low gear is going to give better 60 ft. times. This one now takes 1.91 60 ft. but its a t-350 w/ a 3200 stall, believe it or not he's getting 3000 out of it. Kris

Hey Mopar 1968, sounds like you had some bad experience w/ the chevys, If you can make a mopar stay together, a chevy shouldnt be a problem, maybe. I run a blown 392 on one of my FED's on occasion. I made every girdle in the damn thing. I say occasionally because if it does come apart, where am I going to find another one w/out having to pay outrageous price's for old parts. I like'em and build'em all. Kris 2cents

You know how it is, if it works for you stick with it. The ones you see at the track that grenade their's haven't learned that yet, I guess. We did get some test/tune in this evening over in waynesboro, the only part of the day that actually had sunlight. Where is Abingdon, I'm in Staunton 1hr. N. of Roanoke, 1hr. S. of Winchester. Kris

Mopars never blow up on the strip.












cause they usually break down on the trailer....I seen one spin a rod bearing sitting in the trailer shut off. :lol:
