this could help,,,
went from v8 springs to v6 in front,from 8.5 slicks to 11.5 slicks,car now hooks and brings drivers front up about 5 inches and pass front skips,space over drivers rear grows very large and passenger rear drops to about 1 inch,went .015 bigger on nos jets also,went from 4200 stall then, down to 3600 stall now,looking for a level launch and less drama to the 330ft mark,we may have to wait untill 1st time out in the spring and run video from front and then rear on launch,,much better to figure it out that way,the 1.44 60ft suggests a 10.30et,car weighs 2980 with me in it,3.70 geared spool,tire 26.4 tall,not using the transbrake,foot launch from about 2200,more track testing would get this worked out,remember,,i just race for fun,,no brackets or such,I like the challenge of wringing every last bit out of a combo before major changes,there's low 10.'s in this setup,,just have to get it out..
thinking on the cam for the other coupe i have,motor is apart 355ci,about 10.4 comp,new heads are assembled,looking for direction,,street,,,or strip,,,car has new 3.42 posi,all stock suspension,no rollbar yet,tci th350 with 2200 stall,looking into a retro fit roller setup,
