I was just wanting to know on a 9in tirer what rpm's do you guy's or girl's leave at on tran's brake? or do most of you leave off the foot brake? I have a 67 camaro with a 211 low gear and it will not hook on 9in tires at 3600 or higher. thanks for in put!!! NEED HELP!!

Re: stocker's
 

No trans brake allowed, foot brake or two-step. You need suspension work. Loosen up front and cal-trac's on the rear.

My wagon was a stocker, it's now in bracket trim using a 350 sbc w/glide and brake. I suggest you learn to footbrake because if the track isn't in great shape all the time all it takes is a little spin and loose .03 or so in the sixty foot and that's not counting how it will effect your light. You'll be heading to the tailer in short fashion. I'm making 450 plus hp with my small roller motor and 5:12 gears and it hooks great at DFW area tracks footbraking. On the brake I add a couple hundred pounds and lower the rpm release to slow it down to the 7.30's and there is still no guarantee that it will hook but it looks real mean coming off the line. I wish I could afford a Jerico setup and put the 283 back in it. PS: It will only get more incosistant as the weather gets warmer. Good luck.

...and weight in the rear.

Re: stocker's
 

the car weight is 3160 with a 456 gear and we don't need suspension the car was set up a PK RACE CARS out of Columbus thank's for the help we will run a footbrake race this weekend at see what she will do. the motor makes 600 hp and tor is 561 at 4700. do you all think we need more tread on the ground? thanks!!!

Re: stocker's
 

Why run with a 9" tire with 600 hp? Stockers do it cuz they have to.

Tim, we got new tires this weekend and we went with 29.1/2 10.1/2 by 15 so I hope that help's. the guy that ownes the car is very tight with his money!!!

Re: stocker's
 

Good luck, I hope it works for you. I know I'm amazed at what the A stockers with big blocks do with a 9" tire, but I think some are pulling back timing on launch, and have very good suspension setups and weight transfer/weight placement.

Re: stocker's
 

I thought you can have two step on foot activation?

Re: stocker's
 

Thats what it says, footbrake or two-step
