Dime Rocket- DNQ
Okay..What's this misleading title really about?
Well, a few years back, when Billy started the Dime Rocket threads, we decided that turbo cars and FWD's weren't eligible, seeing that it was too easy to make them run under the index. I do agree with that premise..but what Billy didn't tell you is that it takes about 40 years of doing this for it to be easy. Anyway , this project is a DF/S car , and it did run 1.05 under the NHRA index on the second pass the other night... A friend (who some of you might know) and I started on it in January. Easy does it ...and I'll be glad to answer any inquiries about it if anyone cares to hear it. I did take a few pictures along the way, but did not document every nut and bolt,..but I think I remember them...

Re: Dime Rocket- DNQ
So is it time to open the "Dime Rocket" deal to ANY combo? I'm OK with that. I'm OK with anything that gets people out to the races!
We could have a 3.4 Monte Carlo vs. Turbo Sunbird C/FS Matchrace! Loser buys the hotdogs. I'm not quite sure that Tibors prices fall into the "Dime Rocket" range though. Maybe this thing is a "ringer"?

We have a family connection at Kadar Performance, so I don't know the pricing, but actually these heads needed to be straightened out anyway. Someone did a "valve job" on them last year,and carved them up pretty bad..Had to throw the valves away. These heads are literally laying on the ground at the U pull it yards. A little 3 angle , mill for cc's, and pop some new Comp beehive springs on them, and I don't believe they'd be too bad.
