Wouldn’t a tighter LSA would have more overlap, idle rougher, and run out of breathe quicker? One of the coolest race videos I have of my car…you’ll see what I mean if you watch it. https://www.facebook.com/groups/765517070206972/permalink/5005531619538808/ Time slip from race above.

Put some cam in that big engine and watch the track numbers wake right up, you need something on a 108 LCA for more torque to gain a better 1/8 mile for a better overall ET. The challenge is, I really like the smooth idle and driveability. I'm going to work on the car. The next race will have 275/6...

Successful first outing with the new VortecPro engine. Drove 190 miles to the track, noting about 13 mpg (what can I say, it's fun to accelerate). This was the first race using a tachometer in the Monte. Highway speed with the 2.56 gears MC Tach.jpeg Arrived at the track MC US131.jpeg It comes out ...

Evidently, the YouTube world appreciates sleepers, 2.56 gears, stock torque converters, and 225/70-15 Cooper Cobras.

Back in the early-2000s, the Etec 170s garnered a lot of attention for their low and mid-lift flow. I ended up with the 200cc Etec only because they were going on a 406. 170s were tempting though, especially for a hydraulic-cam engine.

A video for you guys.

For me, and the way I run my cars, I prefer the vacuum secondary carbs (Holley 3310). Vacuum secondary carbs transition smoother from primaries to secondaries without any extensive tuning. This is great when you run a factory stall converter and highway gears :mrgreen: Now, I'm debating on picking u...

Draggin- i bought this fuel line from Right Stuff. They are great to deal with. I believe it is a 1970 L78 Chevelle pump to carb setup. I shot another video of the car idling and it still won’t upload to Speed Talk. OK, the fuel line is on my short list. Videos should be hosted on YouTube, and link...

Agree about the factory 163 intake, it can support a lot of power but it’s not the right choice for my car (given my converter and gear). Can you please explain your rational behind this comment? In fact, I see the exact opposite with your combo. I feel that with your combo, gear and converter, thi...

Thanks for the well wishes. The tornadoes occurred about 120 miles north of us. Many lives lost, very sad. I tried to upload a video of it idling but it doesn’t show up. The pictures were able to upload. The car definitely has traction issues. I’m not sure a numerically lower gear would remedy that...

I haven’t ran it yet. The nearest 1/4 mile track from Where i live in Nashville is in Bowling Green KY. I plan on running it in the spring. I’ve tried to keep the sleeper look and have the original 402 badges on it, Pertronix :mrgreen: in the original distributor and Pertronix coil and wires. Grind...

The car is an original BB car so it has the 3/8” fuel line from tank to pump. I’m running a stock fuel pump too. No starvation at all. Pulls past 6,000 with no issues. Running 245/60/15 BF Goodrich tires at 26.6”. The 3:42 is a tad too much on the highway. I’m probably going to put a 3:08 in and it...
