well i finally got my 10 bolt rearend out of my car, took a little bit of blood, and elbow grease. now im sending it away to get built up with 4.10's and some other goodies. its gonna be sweet now with the 28x10 slicks. i hope to see some 1.7 60' times...... ill be at the 18th street legal for sure at mission. hope to break into some 12's with my old setup before i pull my motor and re-do it and spray it. need my racing fix!


p.s. for those of you who dont know its a 8.5 inch 10 bolt, biggest, beefiest 10 bolt made. its nothing like the ones in the newer cars, so for the people who were gonna say how its weak and its on "borrowed time" bah to you! thes 10 bolts are very similar and 99% as strong as a 12 bolt sorry, but i just had to pre-emtively counter any nagging heh im done.

Just pulled my axles out of my 8.5 ten bolt and put in longer studs. I've got some slicks to run this year if I ever finish get the motor together.

Aly I have no idea. Last time I ran I went 13.101 @ 102.56. The car was severely leaning out because of a ****ty fuel system. I pulled the plugs after that pass and they were totally white. Using a formula for 1/8 mile to 1/4 mile shows I should have run 12.8 due to my 1/8 mile time. On top of that I've added roller rockers,a better intake for my rev-range, a 750dp carb,lost about 150 pounds on the car and removed my front sway bar. I hope all this will get me a 12.5 with my old cast iron 1960s technology heads. Then I'll put on some dart pro 1 aluminums and spray it and see what happens
