Default ZOOMIES & TOYO SLICKS

over the winter i built a set of 2" zoomies (for nostaligia races) for my 434" sbc roadster also put a set of 33x17x15 toyo slicks, I got to run today at Madras dragstrip 1/8mile @ 2500' my best time last year was a 6.103 & 1.382@60' today i ran a best of 6.093 and had all 1.372 to 1.378 60' times a .484 red light ended my day in the 3rd. round.
I ran the toyos at 6 1/2# I thought I would lose at least a 1 tenth with the zoomies over last year with 2" collector headers but that did not happen. now i did make some changes to the car, I added a second battery to the back of the car also the toyos are about 1" shorter than my hoosiers and moved the M/T back 1/4" which might explain the 60' times. bowler
