    Ported irons and rockers

    Used set of ported irons with T&D rockers for sale. I originally purchased these here: Heads. Per the link they are supposed to be early Champion irons but have no markings that I am familiar with, maybe someone here recognizes the stampings on these. After I bought these they were switched...

    Need a measurement on the reproduction aluminum GN wheels

    Would anyone happen to know or be able to check the ID on these wheels, on the back(axle flange) side of the wheel? Wanting to verify these will have the clearance I'm needing before purchasing. Or, if someone happens to know these have more clearance than the stock steel wheels do?

    Tire shake/shudder after car was already at full boost

    Went to 1/4 mile track to work on launching. Was only time for one pass, weather wouldn't cooperate. Car hooked good off the line through spoolup, but somewhere around the 60ft mark shook the tires pretty good and had to get out and back in it. 60 ft was a 1.62. This was on 275/60/15 Hoosier DRs...

    Have the opportunity to get my car on a dyno this coming weekend....

    I already know from track runs last year that I am in need of a better convertor. With this in mind, would a dyno run with the convertor locked give more realistic info to base the selection of a new convertor off of? I already asked, they do not have a way to directly monitor engine rpm as of...

    Which part number for rear shock

    Looking at Afco double adjustables, 3870R-1 (7 inch travel) at first appears to be the right choice but compressed length is longer than a stock replacement shock. There is also a 3850R-1 (5 inch travel) that has pretty comparable compressed length to a stock shock but of course the extended...

    275/60/15 and rim width options

    Have been running the 275/60/15 size on stock GN wheels for some time now, and have managed 60 foots in the mid 1.5s at the track. Wondering at what point a person would really need to go wider to get the most out of this size tire, as far as 60 ft is concerned? I see recommended rim sizes are...

    "Tuning" your reaction time

    My preferred way to react to the lights at the tree usually gets me a redlight by .02 to .04 seconds. I have a fairly small tire on the front now, if I go with a slightly larger tire that should effectively slow my vehicle reaction time due to the roll out, correct? Is there a way to calculate...

    Telltale signs it's time to replace drag radials?

    What does everybody gauge the life of their DR's by? My tires are practically smooth, and center section does not seem as soft as it used to be when giving it the fingernail test. Run 'em 'til the cords start showing or?

    Alky injection & Power Plate, good combination or not?

    Got to thinking about this, is a person better off not having the Power Plate installed in the plenum when using an alky spray? Wondering if anyone has tried back to back comparisons on this?

    Front swaybar and launching....

First thing I noticed, needed to run about 25 lbs in RR airbag on a 0-2 psi launch, seemed to have good weight transfer(previously with bar fully connected have not...

    Question for those running DR's....

    How much boost have you been able to successfully launch off the line with and not lose traction? Assuming a well prepped surface, etc. Looking for what the limit is that these tires will hold without breaking loose.

    Do the non-SFI cars use a restrictor in the pressure signal to the wastegate actuator? If so, what orifice size?
