Do away with the whole ring spacer get up. Might need steel spacer in your diesel pistons but a unnecessary expense on a stocker. Roller lifters isn't going to make anyone notice a increase in there wealth either.

Roll bar rule, by ET..Just like Joe Bracket Bomber...11.49 and faster

Limit valve spring pressure. Maybe 120lbs seat, 300 lbs @ .500".

Moving a front mounted battery to the trunk is a no brainer, simply from a safety stand point. -Al

Maybe tear down #1 qualifiers when they're goofy fast?

Best request yet ! I tried to get NHRA to set spring pressures at 150 lbs and 350 lbs open back in 1985. That's the same as a 426 street Hemi and a 440 6 pack if I remember right. It was like talking to a wall !

Well that's an interesting idea. Do you really need much more seat pressure than this? Seems kind of wasteful on a lot of friction based valvetrain motors to run so much spring pressure...

Pontiac had dual valve springs from the factory in some combos that had more open pressure then that. Just saying
