radialtireking:
when i first went to the track this year i was expecting to see the car run around 120mph( like you said). when i saw the 115mph, i couldnt believe it. i really thought the bigger tires would help pick up the mphs. i have been running cam2(100 octane unleaded), but i just picked up some leaded C12 112 octane(which i have yet to use). my exhaust is on the small side. im running hooker shorties with 1 5/8 primaries through a 3inch magnaflow cat back. but whe i race i open my electric cutout wich i installed were the cat would go. i know the primary size is probably killing me, but lets face it, there really arent to many options for our cars. would you reccommend the air bags. i heard that they are pretty effective. i want to get new rear shocks, but i dont know which shock to get. i think that it has white konis in the back. they were on the car when i got it(about 6 years ago). i just have to keep in mind that this is not a all out race car, i do drive it on the street. no i do not have relocation brackets. i dont think that the car is spinning the tires of the line. it just doesnt seem to be leaving very hard. my friend said the same thing to me when he went with me. i dont have a trans brake(700R4) so i have to foot brake the car. but i can only hold the car back until about 1700-1800rpm on a 3400 stall converter. i know on sunday my shifting was all over the place. i think the tires rubbing was screwing with me mentally. the motor makes it peek power at 6200rpm. so i shift 1-2 at 6000rpm because there is a very light delay, so by the time it shifts its right around 6200rpm. the rest of the gears i shift around 6500rpm. but for some odd reason i seem to run out of gear right before the finish line. i have a 700R4, 9inch rear with 411s, and i was running a 28inch tall tire. i run about 20* intial timing and about 38* total. my cam is .595/.595 lift and around 250sh on duration at .050. i dont have the cam card in front of me right now. i also have an 825cfm mighty demon carb with a victor Jr intake. the heads are brodix 11X CNC ported aluminum, with 10.5:1 compression. thats basically it. let me know what you think. you obviously have alot more experience than myself. im really appreciative that you are taking you time to try and help me. thanks again
