Pure Stock Drag Racing tips & tricks

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Thanks Jim for the additional explanation, I have to think about what you typed for a little bit. I'll probably have some more questions down the road!

I learned something else the other night, don't pick on a Toyota Supra Twin Turbo! Pretty quick little car in it's stock form, has two more gears compared to the Yenko, would have left me in the dust past 4th [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Marlin, Going to Pottstown tomorrow nite? Big Rod Run and show in town. May be taking Coopers 440-6pack super bee. (Lift off hood car) Should be fun. (215)723-1600 [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img] Sam

Hey Pete;
I was there! So was 'SYCIWISH' and some guys from the Nova board, show was very good and the weather was perfect. I don't remember seeing the 6pak car though (?)

What's Dennis' situation? I've been wondering, send me a PM with an update [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Well, it looks like Friday night might be finally be a track night! Thanks to all who have helped me get the Yenko Deuce tuned a little better - now to put my foot where my mouth is [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I'm hoping for 13's, but as long as I have some fun! I have Pete's setup in the carb, Casey's setup on the timing, just have to pump up the tires and lay down some tracks to figure out the air pressure. I'm hoping for at least two runs, one as a baseline, another with the spring clamps installed to see what impact they have on the 60'.

Any final advice?

Keep the engine cool? You can ice the manifold and use your garden sprayer to mist the radiator. Be careful and good luck! Sam [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img]

Probably going to get myself in trouble but here goes!! Why all the time and energy spent on cam stuff when the poor thing is trying to breathe through those restrictive manifolds and that tiny 2" exhaust!! It seems that the carb size was more than adequate but the engineering of the exhaust sucked. Why worry so much about lobe and duration if it can't BREATHE. I understand the desire to keep it stock but seems like it would be more fun to open it up. Marlin, if you get into the 13's with stock manifolds and exhaust on polyglas you are THE MAN!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif[/img] I was hoping for 14's at the reunion. I decided to cheat and am putting on a 2 1/2 Flowmaster system with headers. (Keeping all the stock stuff) Jim [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] By the way GOOD LUCK and have FUN!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Marlin,

The new cars go fast in a different way that's for sure. With all the over drives they can build a motor a little more differently "smaller cubes" so it can efficently work in a smaller power band using gearing to take care of the weaknesses. The stuff sure does last a long time and fly using the modern fuel systems.

I guess what I'm saying in the above thread is that overlap is as big of a component as duration for a rough idle. Ramp speeds will help determine overlap. Sorry for the confussion.
