We are not going to get a fair shake from the NHRA, it's not their priority and we've flogged the Max Wedge's, 427" Camaro"s and Ford's to the Nth degree...there's no more hp left to find while the new cars are full of potential. So, how do I become competitive with the new cars that are in my same class and can run about a second faster?

The new cars are here and they ain't going away and without taking the body off the frame I can't be competitive BUT if I could keep my dial in going into a class race I could be competitive.........just thinking!

My goal now is whenever I have a heads up or class race with one of them is to make them run fast enough to get horsepower.

Oh oh, I'm building my Ford with a Strange 9", does that mean I have a Chevy rear end?

Can you insert the 9" 12 bolt conversion pumpkin in these and use the GM gears?
Or does it come that way?
Or must you use the Ford design pumpkin?

Me too. If I hop mine up, and leave on time (I'm old), in decent ( not mine shaft) I can make one have to run in, or very close to, HP on Tues territory to win that round.
