    Drag Groups that race at Pacific Raceways

    I live near Tacoma so I don't travel to those outings. Bremerton opens for Test and Tune on April 2,3. If you want to make a pass after the long winter layoff, that's the first open date of the year.

    The stripes don't indicate a high pressure gun. In fact, they are more indicative of a tinkle can. The stiff clutch could be an old pressure plate in need of changing, or worn clutch cable. Given the amount of power you have, the clutch should not be hard to push down.

    Running at Pinks All Out

    It was a Chevy pickup that crashed. I didn't see anything else hit the wall.

    Running at Pinks All Out

    Thanks for the reply. I heard the wheel standing Vette lost two in a row because the driver had to lift to keep it straight. I heard that the winning driver of the Chevelle had never won a race before!

    Running at Pinks All Out

    What was the nature of the drama? It's good the kid didn't win. Mommy and Daddy must be wealthy. The kid has enough advantages already. Sorry I was so rushed at the event, Tyler, but I had to get to the staging lanes. Hope I wasn't too abrupt.

    Running at Pinks All Out

    I wasn't selected for the All Out 32, but some other Ford Drag Team cars were. Got interviewed by Ken Herring; who knows if the interview will survive the cutting room. Fun experience. Click to enlarge. This was from the arm drop round where you are eliminated if you don't run the number. I...

    Emissions Woes. please read :)

    As military, you should have some additional options like registering and licensing the thing in a state that does not require emissions. Failing that option, emissions in WA are based on population density in zip code areas. Even parts of King and Pierce county do not require emissions -like...

    Took it to the track

    4.10's with a 351 and a supercharger??? I think you have wayyy too much gear. You need some much taller tires! Get at least 28 inch tall slicks.

    Hit the track last night

    Understandable to be confused regarding Ford's changing methods of dropping compression. First with a huge dish in the piston, then with a large-chambered head. You could've bought '69 -'70 pistons which would make 10.5 to 1 with stock pistons. But you probably know that by now. With 58cc heads...

    Hit the track last night

    It's a 74 block so, yes, you have .26 dished pistons and very low compression. The best way to overcome the low compression is to spin the thing at higher rpm, but your small cam and long runner intake keep that from being effective. The injectors are too big but I wouldn't spend the money for...

    Hit the track last night

    Are you sure about the compression? If you have a 77-93 Windsor block the dish is only about .10 designed to produce 8.2 to 1 compression with 69cc chambered D78 heads. With AFR heads (58cc) , you should have compression in the mid 9's. Those are huge injectors. I ran 24's with my 351 and it...

    I see the Trickflow intake, what is the rest of the combo? Which injectors, etc?
