Most of those cars are plastic from the factory, but we can't run light weight parts like that. At least, if it's not legal I won't do it. I have to live with myself.

This guy KNOWS!

Yeah, but if I did that I would want to slit the throat below the face I see in the mirror while trying to shave every morning.

Am learning about some people's principles, however.

If you cheat and win you have not really won. You cheated. If you cheat and lose, your REALLY a loser.

The car came out nice Ed. From the picture in your avatar it looks like it was leaving really high before the chassis work, why would you have oiling issues now? Did it flip over backwards!!! Lol, just kidding.

^^^^^^^^^^ This guy knows how its supposed to be done.. LEGALLY.

I totally agree that it's shameful that alot of these guys don't care about the integrity of the rules. It's not so hard for NHRA to go tap there knuckle against guys doors and bounce the ones that are not right. Heck, half of the ones you can tell without even touching. But it's NHRA's rules and if they allow it then they do. It's just drag racing, don't go thinking about cutting your neck.

That avatar was my old foot brake 383" LT1, ran more oil in that one because it did that a lot. 3.06 low gear in the factory 4L60E made it like a tractor, went up a lot. Have not had that in a few years, should have my head out of my rear and added some oil until I got it calmed down. Rickie Decker told me who to talk to to cure it.
Just got everything apart. Rotating assy is total junk. Got lucky with the heads.
Thanks, Ed

I don't stoop to crap like that, so don't have the urge to cut mine.

Deb had a good idea. Move your seat closer to the steering wheel. That should keep that rocket on the ground!
