After market rods? I have been seriously thinking of putting one in my dragster.. Dave "It is usually futile to try to talk facts and analysis to people who are enjoying a sense of moral superiority in their ignorance." -Thomas Sowell | |||

Taking the tire thing a little further. I would suggest a 10.5 Hoosier radial. My friend here has a Chevelle that's probably heavier, about the same suspension, don't know gear, 9 X 30 radial and the car dead hooks. Runs high 6.20s low 6.30 with 20-22lbs of air in the tires. Ducky (Beard) runs the 10.5 version I think. | |||

It's a Manley rotating assembly. If I had to do it again (and I am) I'd go with Molnar like I did second go around. 272" Spitzer 540 Chevy The Blower Shop XR1 FTI XPM Series Converter FTI Level 6 Powerglide 3.69@199 .916 60' 2017 Bradenton Heads Up Madness Open Outlaw Champ 2018 PDRA T/D #5 2019 PDRA T/D #2 2020 Retired From T/D Competition.... 2020 Bradenton NMCA Hemi Shootout Winner 2021 getting back into bracket racing with a Gen3 Hemi powered 87 Cutlass. | |||

Not to worry Bender, I sell Hoosiers and my Olds, thats not a miss print, that runs about the same as you has old school slicks but 14X31 and although its not as strange as your Hemi deal mine has an OLDS engine which is almost as rare. Imagine yours is the only one like it! | |||

Back in the early 80's I ran a backhalf Nova with a 425 Olds engine, went 10.40's.... There actually is a Grand National out there with a Hellcat engine...... 272" Spitzer 540 Chevy The Blower Shop XR1 FTI XPM Series Converter FTI Level 6 Powerglide 3.69@199 .916 60' 2017 Bradenton Heads Up Madness Open Outlaw Champ 2018 PDRA T/D #5 2019 PDRA T/D #2 2020 Retired From T/D Competition.... 2020 Bradenton NMCA Hemi Shootout Winner 2021 getting back into bracket racing with a Gen3 Hemi powered 87 Cutlass. | |||

Running almost three seconds and about 100 mph slower in the 1/8th is quite a change. But the cost and amount of work and time invested is way, way, way less. I would be lying if I said I don't miss going fast, but I'm still racing and having a blast. Another big plus for me is I don't have to invest the time and money to travel to the big races. That being said, I really do miss the whole PDRA crowd, racers and the PDRA crew alike, they are the best! 272" Spitzer 540 Chevy The Blower Shop XR1 FTI XPM Series Converter FTI Level 6 Powerglide 3.69@199 .916 60' 2017 Bradenton Heads Up Madness Open Outlaw Champ 2018 PDRA T/D #5 2019 PDRA T/D #2 2020 Retired From T/D Competition.... 2020 Bradenton NMCA Hemi Shootout Winner 2021 getting back into bracket racing with a Gen3 Hemi powered 87 Cutlass. | |||
