Redgar-

When I started running S/ST years ago, I used a Moroso Bolt stop that bolts to the carb and stops the carb from opening fully. I went rounds all the time this way, even finished top ten in Div 6 several times this way. You can turn the screw in and out to slow down or speed it up, used a measuring tool and figured out about how much was a hundreth in or out after some testing. The car ran about the same as yours back then 10.40-10.50- I will warn you that this method takes all the mile an hour away.. I went 10.40 at 127, 10.90 at 119 to 120. I had fun with it though.. The Moroso bolt stop then was about $20.00. People used to laugh when I popped the hood in the lanes after sitting for a while and adjusted my bolt stop, but the look on their face when I whacked them afterwards was priceless.

Bad part is, you will go... you will love it... you will have a blast with the other racers... you will get hooked on Div and Natl races...and then....

THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN ELECTRONICS and BIGGER TRAILER and BIGGER HAULER, ETC, ETC....

Sometimes you will look back and go what the hell? But for the most part you will be glad you did it.

My 2 cents..
