Guys goin way faster than me with LS cars switch to LT brakes. They are smaller lighter and work fine for drag racing. When I do swap it will be to strange drag brakes.

Jeff I wont be in your class so no worries about my car. I feel like the underdog in my class.

Jeff, Colin's sr cam is comparable to an hr cam with about 8-10 degrees less duration. So his SR 256/268 is like an HR 247/256, which is still pretty hefty.

^^^Yep. What looks to be a giant cam thats going to want to rev to the moon, may not actually be. Its all about area under the curve with a SR lobe. I would bet the seat-to-seat duration of my cam is very similar to AC's.

Specs on my cam are 249/257 .612 107LSA. It's getting up there for a HR but I'm sure others have pushed it even further.

^Yeah, that's a big HR cam. Similar to Mike's, but with a tighter lsa for your all motor pulling combo. While Mike needs the wider lsa for his monster spraying setup.

And Mike summer is flying by, hopefully you can get it going soon... your going to need some seat time to get that suspension working again! I'm at pass #18 and still havent gotten it figured out yet.

DAMN! I was a good 100 over that for years

Looks good!

No I haven't made it out yet the trans and converter are out right now. I'm really hoping I can get this thing to sixty in the 1.3's this year on motor.

When you get that thing to cut 1.4's you can stop over my place and help my heavy pic at least cut 1.5's consistently.
