    Well this thing will not be making any corners...

    All drag race for this car..

    Was thinking of adding more rebound to slow the suspension down during launch.. Lakewood 90/10 are too loose.

    Have a new converter on the way and it will make be go red on a sportsman tree..

    I'm going to turn the computer off and let the motor eat out of the hole with all the ponys..no more detune on the hit..

    I have been going red lately.. and do not/ cant put a bigger tire on it...Just need to be green...it wins ...

    Barnett is right...

    My 427w is using a champion MC338. Was using stock 24" 3 core from years ago...

    Using the 3 core the temp would rise from 160 to 195 down the track during the 1/8th

    Now 165 start 170 to 175 finish.. Hi flow pump and such..147deg. stat flex fan and shroud.

    Your E-85 should help out on the cooling .. Have a buddy with a small truck and he has a hard time keeping temp in it on E-85..

    E-85 is going to be in my future soon... as soon as a station gets it near me..

    Yea its a 2 stage also...

    Just like mine I bought 10 years ago...getting ready to change oil in it and get a new air filter for it.. 

    Supply's all my air needs...But I paid 1g for it.

    If you paint put a knock out pot off of it to help with moisture.

    If you haven't  permanently mounted it.. Look into a way to run the drain petcock out from the center of the tank..

    I used some old nitrous lines so I don't have to crawl on the floor to get the moisture out of the tank..

    Place it 24" from the exhaust ports...don't forget it can fail...get the carb adjusted and enjoy the show... exhaust leaks will give a false reading..bad sensors will too..they are neet and cool but read your plugs also.. write the number of the sensor down...so you can order another one cheaper than the manufacturer...took me a while to tune mine but it was 1/4 mile at a time and a plug killer...bad plugs will misfire and throw it off also..have fun..

    my black coupe was my brothers car in high school. It was rear-ended in the 1980s dealer ship did the repairs. Repainted the car several  times after I got my hand on it.. Noticed cracks in the quarter that keeps showing back up.. Was 3/4" thick with bondo and applied over the old paint..2X4 and a sledge brought the 20 year old crease down to a workable area with a hammer and dolly... also the whole trunk lid is bondo from one end to the other...don't know how thick it is...

    How about a return line off the regulator? If you got one..Or a 6an male to female adapter with a 1/8" port for a gauge...Going to the rear of the carburetor...Earls got that...There is a couple of manufactures that have the 1/8" port in a fuel line to a Holley you could tap the other side for another port if you want to...
