It hooked pretty good at first with a 4000 rpm launch but then spun a little.

I can't find my time slip from Joliet but here's my best time from Byron:

60'...2.185
330...5.595
1/8...8.417
MPH...87.17
1000...10.841
1/4...12.912
MPH...108.38

That was with the M/T Indy Profile tires leaving 2000 rpm's or so. I had the 163 intake and the 4346 Holley on it.

I changed the intake only and took the car to the track early spring. It was opening day of GLD and it was a little cool. The car was spinning bad in first an getting sideways in second with both ET's in the 13.1xx. I wasn't very happy with the track so I loaded it up and went home. Then I put the 850dp on and changed the gears.

The timing has a mechanical advance with a 14* differential. So at 39* total timing it starts out at 25*.

I started out with the air cleaner on then took it off after the 3rd or 4th pass but I made other changes too. Yes....I should have made one more pass with it on but I was too happy with the last pass.

I'm embarrassed to say that I just threw the 4781 on that a friend let me borrow to try without doing anything to it but the motor seems to like it....a lot. The carb looks to be stock. The accelerators are 30cc in the front and 50cc in the rear. It has 31/31 squirters. I'm not sure what the cams are but appear to be white (F) and pink (R)???

I have Koni shocks up front but not sure what the are exactly and a sway bar. The rear shocks are QA1 12 position adjustable. I installed Edelbrock Anti-Hop bars installed with the upper and lower control arms boxed in with no sway bar in back. I have air bags on both rear springs but forgot to check that day.

Thanks, Kurt
