Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

The CJ and Drag Pak cars seem to have a problem hooking up. Why not allow these cars 10" slicks?

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

They can use 10 inch tires or larger if they want in SUPER STOCK !

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

come on mannnn????????????????????

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

Get a bigger spoon, the pot is bigger

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

Why not just take some HP off of them since they are spinning so bad and getting their butts kicked all of the time. GEEZ

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

From what I've seen and read. They should let you do what you want. Thats the state of the NHRA. If you don't like your trans use something else. If your rear is weak get a bigger rear. If you don't like your stock intake ,get an after market intake. This is what Stock eliminator has come to. So, just make your own rules.:p

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

Don't give NHRA any more ridiculous ideas

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

Same story here ...

"Knock on Wood"

We only had a problem with the "new - trick" Goodyear's

Went back to Hoosiers and no problem - 1.34 60fts - not bad for a 3600 lb 2 speed

But as Bo says - it can always be better

:-) peace

Fred,

Please stop doing, what I think you are doing, because it's going to make you blind

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

What a waste of forum space..

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

Is that with a stock 11 inch with 1800 stall or do you guys have real race converters? BTW, What is the stall speed of the stock converter in one of the DP 512 cars?

Casey Miles
248H Stock? 10.5 clutch!

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

It seems the production cars have a little better starting line combo than this prototype I have. The one's I have seen stall above 6000, and shift @ 6500. Footbrake to 25 to 35. We got all kind of new stuff, but can't really say if any of it is worth anything yet. One thing as said at the beginning of this thread is these cars, DP's and the Catfish looking mustangs will throw you the wheel spin curve just when you think you got it figured out. On the dp's (and any other wide car) the rear tread is so wide, it's is actually hard go fit the car in the grove. The cars are substantially wider than my 69 Super Bee. I lost in Indy last year, final in the CIC race at No Problem, and final at Silver Dollar points race last year with wheel spin. And I ain't lookin for sympathy, just stating a couple of facts about the new cars.

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

why not give them nitrous? fing amazing!!

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

I think it was meant to be a joke. Surely it was.

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

They dont need nitrous.....they just need some HP factoring.

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

NHRA should check to see if they are operating with full throttle, maybe they are not and it needs to be corrected so the racers that have them can get full power.

Casey Miles
248H Stock?

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

Hopefully after Indy with any luck and lack of brains you will all have an extra 100 plus pounds you can stick in the trunk. Maybe that will help you hook up better. Not that it will slow you guys down at all. To me it looks like even the blind squirrels can make one of these cars fly.

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

When did Mopar make a 2 speed? Is this something new?

Kevin

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

Its the MoPar Power Glide...er Power Flite for the V10's......

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

and a 9" ford rear ???????????

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

try switching hands, then you will hook up........

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

That is the 8 4/4 rear end.

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

Correctotype time:>):>):>)

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

This maybe removed.. BITCH BITCH BITCH.. 9" wide tire and put it on a 13" wheel. Let's give give all the FORD and DP "WHAT" they want.. Sorry Jeff T. They are not "REAL" race cars.. As always "PAPER" Cars.. What the Hell do I know.. I am in the Air Conditioning business..

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

Not trying to be a smart *****,do they make a 2 speed or is it a dedenbear case kinda thing.

Kevin

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

So I can ron a PG with a 427?????????????????????/

No the DP or FORD did not come with a 2 speed. But what the Hell do I know Sorry Jeff t.

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

Take the heat for a while Bobby! LOL!

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

8 4/4 = 9 .
that would be 1/4 more than the 8 3/4.
that's just a way of getting out of calling it a 9"....lol

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

I guess the 68 Hemi Dart was not a real race car either. Nice part about the glide in the V10 cars, is we can put a torqueflite in for SS. That ought to be worth a couple tenths.

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

IHRA does

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

The 68's were a race car as everyone knows BUT it was a SUPER STOCK car from the get go.

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

Yeah but the 10 inch tire is approx .05 slower in the quarter.

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

1954 Power Flite
1959 Ford-O-Matic

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

Quick the problem with your answer is they did not have PowerGlide parts in them, the new one do

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

What does a Powerglide have to do with Kevins question?

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

Thanks I thought Mopar built one but could not remember the era.I thought maybe they brought it back and refined it or something.Hate to ask about these new cars ,It just seems to open up a pissing match.Thanks

Kevin

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

If the Mopars can't have powerglide parts in them, then the fords and chevys with the pro trans with the torqueflite guts got to go. Be careful what you ask for.

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

That would suit me. That would mean $6000.00 I don't need to spend. LOL

Re: Drag Pak and CJ cars
 

The ford 2 speed was a cast iron case and weighed a ton...also had a sharp edge running down the right side which would really gash your hand if you didn't realise how heavy it was.


Don't ask....
