Moved rear lower trailing arm down 3/4" on the rear. Double adjustable coil overs on the back and stock replacement shocks on the front. Car is 3200lbs with me in it.
This combo took years to get dialed in especially the suspension. I never ran it all out in all the years I have been racing it. I am always trying to go 10.00 for index races. I never thought it would run a 6.0 in the 1/8.

Wow that’s really impressive for that combo .
Everything is apparently matched and working together well

Good job!

It’s actually fairly similar to my car except I substitute the E heads w 70s era smog heads low compression and 11 psi boost 373 gear and a tight 3000 converter but still fairly similar.
Does the same thing just gets there a little differently.

E-head that where ported by Kauffman about 10 years ago. 72 cc flow 330 at .700. The cam is a Comp cam 278/282 at .050 lift is .652/.658 ground at 108 and installed straight up. Compression is right at 12.0-1.
I had a valve job on the heads last year and the machinist ground them with a 38 degree seat on the intake. Ever since then my 60's have been great. Usually 1.35 for a 10 flat.

Sounds like it is time to go e85!

Thats a nice combo. its obvious how much work you have put into your engine and car.
How high do you have to spin it ?
445 block or 400 ?
I hope you don't mind the questions. Building a engine not unlike yours myself. I hope it runs as good. Trying to do the same thing. 10 flat, see how far it can dip into the 9s before I upgrade the cert.

No problem. It is a 70 455 block out of a big car. Put aftermarket 4 bolt main caps with studs. I is a forged 455 crank. I shift at 6400 and go thru the traps about 6800 at 134.
If I want to run it all. out thru the 1/4 I will need taller tires or a 3.90 gear

Thanks for sharing the information. How tall of a tire are you currently running? I am running a 4:10 gear and I am looking to go with a taller tire. I am currently running a 29" tire.

Thanks,
Joe

30.5" radial with the 4.10 gear

Thank you. I was looking at getting a 30.5". That is probably the tallest that I can fit.
