Thanks. I'm running 1 7/8 Hedman Hustler long tubes. For suspension I have Moroso drag springs in the front with double adjustable shocks, and in the rear I'm running a ladder bar/coil over set up with a anti roll bar and double adjustable shocks. Tires are Mickey Thompson 29.5 x 10.5 Pro Drag Radials.

Camaro and 400ish cubic inches around the same weight.... 9's.
Old build the crank ate up the duration, needed a bit more 7500 ish peak, also Ls3 heads and fast style intakes aren't best for a track setup it needs a carb style intake. Fills the cylinder better. Cathedral heads work better with plastic intakes and track duty. Camaros TFS heads and fast, well known for 9's. But with the larger combo it doesn't matter with what you've got.

What did u do with the 421? Also what rpm would you cross the stripe?
Pull you to the side.
Whisper..... Just between me and u. 4500 is the best for filling a cylinder. Now if you tell anyone I'll deny saying it.

It's destroyed. The block is cracked. I shifted at 7k and came across at 7k.

LOD seemed to hang well with the CID 4500 decently in this article:
