My final outing of 2021 gave me a little improvement. Still the same 10:1 451” I started the season with. Still more on the table.
I’m still in awe of how stock FAST cars look and yet run as quick as they do.
The last pass I tried leaning on it a little higher rpm and finally opened the cut outs. And it felt better then I had a bone head mistake and shifted from 1st to 3rdNice! Just getting out and having some fun is very cool. Looks like you’ve got a Mid-11 second car right now. Mine went 12.40‘s the first time out. Just whittle away at it. with The parts you’re working with, I’m sure you’ve got 6-second / 10-second time slips in your future.
That was almost identical to my old combo in my 63. 440 stock bottom end 590 cam worked heads w / roller. 3000 stall with 4.30s best 11.70My old 440 combo:

Firestone G70-14 redline tires. Off the shelf, no treatments, not even bald.What kind of tires are you running on the back of that thing to get you 1.68 60ft times. Do they come with special glue to put down on the track?
