    another win

    :racingflag:White flag pass for the win tonite:bump: just a lil one got the job done. Comin off a 3rd place finish two weeks ago very very pleased with tonites race at Fayetteville Motorsports Park.Gotta find me some HP. A friend has a motorcraft 2 bbl off a 429 truck engine it fits the rules gonna have to try it. Those pesky camaros are pullin me 1-2 car lengths on every straightaway, the ole Maverick got their milk in the turns though!

    Can you use a 4412 Holley? I used them on my pavement cars :thumbs2:

    Way to go on your wins - looking at your pictures makes me miss all of this stress :biglaugh:

    We ran 4412 carbs built by C & S or Baker - by far not your out of the box carb but it passed the go/nogo guages the track had. If you are only guage teched through the top of the carb and you do not actually have to remove the carb from the intake, there are even more interesting versions of the 4412 that can be purchased :cool:

    I'm gonna have to bring out the wife and come check you out one night. I've only been to the fayetteville track once. There 1/4 mile really really really sucks so I never even thought to look for a dirt oval or anything else there.

    Fully loaded

    loading up. Looking for another quality finish... Found an air cleaner issue yesterday, changed lid, hoping for some more hp... Parts ordered from KN will install next week, then we should be at max hp. If yaall wondering been running a KN flow control but didnt have all the pieces and the lid was blocking off the air into the top of the air cleaner.
