not-to-highjack-this thread, but..... Rodney, you got any idea how-long my Dana-44 might last in a bracket-racing atmosphere, given the curent power-plant (see signature below)? :ohnoes Car will be raced as you see it, on rock-hard BFG T/A Radials, with no future upgrade in HP/TQ...

..... win-or-lose, she never blames her crew, often compliments her opponent, comes-across as intelligent, and seems embarrassed of her father: the 2 Bimbi-sisters, however, seem as dumb-as-dirt

she'd wreck the Pace Car pulling off the track, then blame NASCAR Officials for the accident

unless your desire is to keep the '82 as-close-to original as possible, for value-purposes, I gotta agree: putting a perfectly-good short-block below a Cross-Fire is like placing a great-tasting crouton underneath a dog-crap salad :W

I'd prefer to see Martin or Smoke walk-away with the Trophy, and suspect that Johnson will be in the mix before it's all-over, too

something-else that's interesting, and pertain's to Smoke Drag Racing Internet Magazine - Competition Plus.com - INDY 2009 – A HISTORIC AND EXPLOSIVE RACE 3/4-way down the page You heard it here first. John Force made a serious offer to Cup driver Tony Stewart to take one of his Funny...

..... despite the fact that her dad is a raving-lunatic, gimme Ashley over Danica anytime!!!!!

My best to-date is 13.935 @ 99.14, but she'll do 100 easy (it has 3.73s, and I am trapping at just 5000 RPM in 3rd, locking-out 4th/OD)

in one fell-swoop, Austin's Fan Club is larger than Meat-Head's, who's entire Club encompasses his parents, his agent, the one guy who silk-screen's his T-shirts, and the current bimbi-du-jour on his arm

Our '82 is Black with Dark Red guts, and although Black is tough to keep clean (especially in a warm-weather climate..... I often have-to wash it before/at sun-up, or it streaks & spots), it is very striking looking

if Hendrick puts Dania into the 88-car, as some believe will happen, she and Meat-Head can have purse-swinging contests after crashes. :chuckle if JR goes anywhere other-than HMS, instead of trying to build JRM into a Cup-caliber team himself (probably w/ HMS-assistance), why-not 'buy' his way...

I've known Meat-Head is a punk for years..... nothing-else to learn from the conclusion of Saturday evening's race

I agree 1000%..... Meat-Head has had that type of deal coming to him for a few years, and he can't even realistically 'blame' it on anybody but himself: I didn't jump as-far off the couch as I did when the Penguins won the Stanley Cup a few weeks ago..... ..... but it was close!!!!!

I should probably clarify my earlier post..... the owner of the '77 said he had to relocate the E-brake cable, but other than that, everything fitted fine. Sorry for the confusion ;shrug

..... for-what-it's-worth..... this '77 Corvette was in-Competition last Saturday evening at Lakeland Motorsports Park, an 1/8-mile drag strip near my home it had 28" x 12.5" slicks, mounted on the N90 rims, and the owner claims they barely rub the stock trailing arms on-launch: because...

I would think that the size & type of rear-tire will play into this equation. We recently removed the Cross-Fire from my '82, that had previously been modified with 3.73 gears in the rear, combined with a 3.06:1 First Gear in the 700R4, for an 'effective' First Gear ratio of 11.41:1: in the...

I don't think that changing the camshaft, in-and-of itself, in a stock L-48 will result in the best-possible performance: you'd still have restrictive cylinder heads, with low compression, and poor exhaust. A year ago, a buddy swapped-out his top-end & cam on his '80 L-48, and went with vortec...

I'd appreciate knowing the camshaft (P/N), and/or lift & duration specs, where for the stock camshaft in my '82: have been under the impression it was a very mild cam with .390"-lift & .410"-lift (intake & exhaust), and having 195* & 202* duration at .050" lift (P/N 12364051), but have since...

I don't know if I should be more-surprised at the over-all performance (quicker ET/higher MPH), or at the car's consistency: at Bradenton, even battling a high rear float, that sloshed fuel into the carb after the burnout, the 60' times following the initial, half-hearted pass, were 2.003...

I finally have some detailed results regarding my '82, and it's current performance capabilities. After having moved to Florida in late '06, and having a house for-sale in Pennsy for almost 20 months, we took the '82 off the street to save money in early '07: the house sold in early '08, we...
