yep, screw the small blocks, I'm building a dart block 540 with pro 1's.might take some time but thats next.

She was pulling the tires today on the street, we added some CV spacer and it really did help a ton, took a stumble out. and changed a squirter in the rear.....she is ready to get busy now.....

Oh and he burned about 8 gallons of fuel and burned my damn tires up too... But we know damn well it will do it now........If I see a 10.80 I say screw it leave it at that.

Was the spacer one of those 4 hole tapered kind (like an HVH super sucker)? That what I used and it took my slight stumble away versus the open spacer and 4 hole spacers I've tried.

Good deal

ran it today, it was hot and humid as hell....

converter is way too tight, can't get over 2k with it....( came out of an 8 sec car so....)

o.k. so it pulls the wheels then spins when the touch the ground..... cutting 1.6's

ran 125 in the heat so.....with some work we can get the car to run now.....It has alot in it. and too much gear, lots of small stuff.

I pulled it out the trailer and never took the hood off all day

oh good lord man, that is some serious gear reduction...would it be easier/cheaper to just upgrade to a 29" tall tire to bring finish line rpm down? I ran my 28" for years and finally made the switch to 29x9 and love it, but i use mine with a 4.11 gear and still trap 6600 on a decent air day. but i dont know how much room you have to work with back there? maybe some inner wheel well mods...ie hammer
