I'm sure there is more to be had there Brent. Car leaves kind of flat...I need to try putting it on the two-step.

Thats pretty dang good , for leaving on the footbrake... what rpm did you bring it out at? I wont be on 2step just yet... i have to put switch on brake pedal, or try a pressure switch... either way, Im drum brakes all the way around...

Stalled at 2700rpm every pass I made today. Can't wait to get back to Bowling Green! :) I know this car will hold for 3000rpm...probably more on the track.

Rich, since that 7.19 equates to 11.20's (qtr mile), you're roughly .50 under the E/SA 11.70 index.

Nicely done, sir! -Al

Thanks Alan...that's just about where I was shooting for this season. Should be a fun little combo car if it proves consistent. :)

Looks good.....I did not know what the 1/8th mile numbers equate to for a car like that....

Sounds like it sagged a little on the launch.....maybe carb....maybe converter a little tight for the engines power....

Q-Jets are touchy for sure.......Accelerator pump shot is very important when your footbraking.....

I had 3 of them for the last Nova stocker I had.....one was good....2 were always problems off the line no matter what I tried with them....

I never 2 stepped any stocker I had......footbrake only and usually right around 3000

Your hard work paid off......

Curious to see what happens when you get it on the 2step... I hope to be able to hold near 3k on footbrake with my new ATi converter...it should be right around 5000flash... I can go 2500-2600 fairly easy with the 4200 8'' ATi thats in there now... But, i usually leave at 2300-2400,...its comfortable, and i cut pretty good lights at that rpm and 30# tire pressure...Radial slicks will probably throw a wrench into that formula! hehe

We have pretty much settled on 18 pounds in the radials. I have a new set on the way. As far as the two-step goes I have no clue...I have heard it both ways. Guess I will just have to try it to see what effect it really has.

After reviewing yesterday's data I'm not convinced the lower holes in the Caltracs was the right move. I'm going to move the bars back up and start playing with the shocks more. I slowed down the video for the third pass in the lower holes...

It must be a small block thing...hehe I never tried upper holes... i have a feeling you may not want upper holes, when you try the 2 step... also, it was cold yesterday... does it seem to lose some to the 330? because, the 60' showed improvement...
