That's great Matt. ..you get equal power to those tires your gonna be 12's easy..have you tried reading the plugs after a run...that could go a long way towards helping with the stumbling problem....just one of many problems plug reading can solve..if I was guessing I'd say you are runnin lean....dragstuff.com has some excellent articles on it. You keep "pluggin" away at it bud you'll be gettin that 110 mph T-shirt soon
Drove mine yesterday... ...first time since last Oct.-Early Oct! If felt good except for the $3.18/gallon premium gas I had to fill it up with. Seth
Way to go Matt! I think Rick book hit it right on about clearing the cars throat after your burnout. I have video of a very embarrasing stall at the light that taught me that lesson. Get some sticky tires and see about some sort of locker or limited slip. Tires first. If you can't afford or don't want to spend the dough on getting both rears motivating the car, try playing with your shocks. If you have nice firm shocks on the rear right now, go to your local cheap parts house and buy one of the cheapest, crappiest rear shocks you can. put it on the left when you get to the track and you'll find it leaves better. If the ones on the car are worn out already, get some good new ones to put on for the street and hold on to one of the crappy old ones to do the same thing with at the track. Edit: One thing about running slicks is they will run you with all the other slick cars on Grudge nights and you'll have to talk the officials into letting you run any of your street tire buddies.
I've already got a pair of slicks Ray, just did not take them because I have not had time to install the driveshaft loop. I also wanted to wait until I installed the mini-spool so I would get full benefit from them. At my track they don't seem to separate the guys with slicks from everybody else, because I have run against guys with slicks and guys without. My last run was against one of the pro cars I think, at least I think he came from the pro pits. All I know is he was faaaast compared to me. I was thinking the whole time about what I've seen on here about clearing the carb after the burnout, that's why I tried to do it.. maybe I did not do it good enough. But since the car died completely after the first burnout, I'm thinking that's not totally it. I did put a bigger fuel line from the tank to the pump, could it be getting more fuel and flooding out? The other thing I thought is maybe a dirty needle seat or something. I have not had the carb apart in a year and a half since I bought it, might be time for a check-up.
