so it gained only 3 in the 60 but gained 2 tenths after that ? What was the rpm change ? Conv flash, recovery after shift and weather better ? did you also check the gear and make sure it was a 4:10 and not a 3.90 ?
You want to help the 60ft more ? 4 link 4 link 4 link, car had a bb in before and is setup a bit different then a sb car, how many holes from the bottom is the top front bar ? Good to see gains for sure, but a lot fo the gear change you made.


Dave i should of said 5.39 that's in the 30's LOL,and that was hand shifting with no light just guessing were to shift at,the 2 step was shifting it way to soon,,but we dead locked the distributor and set the timing on 40,,weather was hot but did cool off when it got dark,not sure what your ? is on the gear,,the gear i had in it was a 433 and now i put a 456 in it,,the 4 link bar in the top front is in the fifth hole from the bottom,,and the bottom 4 link is in the second hole from bottom,,thanks steve
ah I got ya so a bunch of little changes may of affected it, any ideas why it was shifting so fast ? If you want a little more 60ft move that top front bar down 1 hole Take advantage of it
