Sledder....that's fast and a wheel up!

Thanks. Seems like every time i went up they were mopping the starting line. I didn’t see them heating the surface. Just mopping and dragging the track. Think they were spraying some too.

What made you go with the 750 on that motor? Any plans this winter to upgrade the top end?

It’s what i had. New heads/ cam/ intake this winter. I’ve also got a 650 that my buddy gave me. Gotta give it a quick refresh then I’ll put that on to see how it works.

One of the reasons for removing the EFI from my car was to remove weight from the front to help balance the weight bias. I weighed my car and the difference between the two is a solid 40lbs. My car weighed 2760lbs minus driver. After the swap it’s 2720lbs. I’m a bit surprised as I didn’t think it would be quite that much but I’m not complaining.

Its awesome that you can hang the wheels even on a 1.65 60'
Chassis gotta be dialed in to do that

Got a lot of time into getting it to work. Thanks.

Re-weighed my car yesterday. It came in at 2740lbs with all four wheels on the scale and 1340lbs with the front wheels just off the scale. This gives me 51.1% on the front and 48.9% on the rear. These are good numbers considering it still has cast iron heads. It’s getting aluminum heads over the winter as well as some other tricks to lighten the front even more. This makes me happy going into winter knowing that when it comes out next season I will have achieved my goal of a well balanced setup. This will make tuning the chassis easier.
