They mount to the header bolts, with straps, right? Aren't the straps in the way if you have to change plugs? Will they go on and off with a stock Nova subframe? |

Re: SST legal
Great thread, all this info from a "is it legal" question. Well I drove to PA and brought back a tube chassis mustang II.(Detroit) My shop is super busy right now put I hope to get to it in the next couple of weeks. My fab guy wants to update the car and keep the 7.50 cert but not sure it matters for what I want to do with it though. The car was built a LONG time ago but has really good parts on it. So the next question is this: I have parts lying around the shop to build a 515 bbc should make plenty of power but I purchased a new deadenbear TS with the second linkage from a guy on here about a year ago for a 4150 style carb.(all new in box) This will hurt power but I don't think that it will matter, it should still run plenty under, but do you guys think it will be just a consistant with the smaller carb on a bigger engine.
a side note I do machine work for some pretty good S/SS guys --way tooo high strung waving temp gauges at 7:30 in morning and draining oil out to go faster. I'm looking forward to being a duck in the 90 towards the end of the season. (for a few races any way) Thanks Joe |

Re: SST legal
I've heard plenty about how much more consistent an under carbed engine is. You can also get 4150's that flow 1200 cfm.

Re: SST legal
Call Dennis at DRE he can fix you whatever you need for a diaper. Reel easy to deal with.
About plugs. How often do you change the plugs? How often do you change the oil? What if it takes a few extra minutes. I think diapers should be required. I have one on the dragster and will have one on the camaro soon. Chip |

As far as footbraking, I have won a West Coast Super Gas Association event (which in those days was a 7 or 8 round event) footbraking, and many rounds in divisional racing as well. I also won a bunch of races in an 11.90 index car with .400 tree and no deep staging (I could redlight with either good air or a tiny bump in). All of this was before the LEDs and .370 tree though, and I don't seem to react as quickly to the LEDs as the 0.030 tree difference assumes I will.
