Kim, do you guy's use some type of thottle stop to go from full bore during eliminations, and reset again for dial in times.

Merry Christmas everyone!

I think that the L-78's need to really be spun hard to make them work. The way I understand it the 396/375 horse cars have a narrower torque band also. Their was an article in Super Stock Drag Ill on the Checkmate team before the mag disappeared and they talked about putting some really steep gears in their after market 4 speeds to really tune them for the RPM range they run.

It is amazing how much horsepower it takes to make up for weight, expecially if it is in the wrong place.

How much horsepower are these cars making know? Even at 3500 lbs they have got to be pushing 630plus.

Check the dec 12th 2003 Nat Dragster page 95. The divison 5 champion in stock class is the car I help build in my garage. It took a lot of time and even more of these

My ZL-1 dyno was a little higher than that.
