Re: Black RS/Z & the 1/8 mile... any suggestions?
We did not cool between runs at all... made a pass then came right back around and made another would let her rest maybe 15 min every 2-3 passes.
Floating valves are the least of my worries... it has oversized double springs with dampers and all are shimmed to have the same seat pressure. Engine guy does nothing but drag racing SB's and said the motor would easily turn 8500.
Running stock AC delcos... stock heat range.
We are running 26" tires... the same height as the Wide Treads... had them down to 15# pressure...
One of my friends has 5:13's in his 69 Nova with a 60 over 396.... it runs 7.40's.
