I have a 3.19 with a 6.17 at 3025lbs. 2.98 isn't enough IMO

Re: Ladder bar tuning / adjusting
I have a 1.96 low in the glide and a 5.86 in the rear with a 100 inch roll out radial tire. The glide is handicapping me a bit in comparison to the 3 speed cars I suspect I could pick up about .015 with a good 3 speed trans. I have the power but cant run the short times of some of the really fast cars in my class. I have run next to those guys and their short times blew my mind.

Re: Ladder bar tuning / adjusting
I always thought the Santhuff's fronts big difference was their compression valving, controlling the car after it comes down from a large wheel stand. Are their rebound qualities equally unique?

Re: Ladder bar tuning / adjusting
I run nostalgia SS and FX stuff........not current traditional stuff like you're doing but fun none the less......still a lot of work though , mainly because I do everything myself , engines , trans , rear end etc etc........and the body aint what it used to be and is very sore at the end of the day.
A 377 is in the car now but I've been a 9.41@ 141 with the ol' 355......but that engine would vary from that best to a low .60 high .50. 23 degree std runner head. The 377 is the same engine basically , just the 4.155 bore and more compression. Same heads , cam , intake etc etc. This is an old video..........I've posted here before , but here it is ..this was with the 355......9.51, 139ish. Launch RPM was realtively low this day IIRC I expect the 377 to get me in the 9.30s in good conditions. |
