Help need a 6.40 for license
imcamod17:
I was wandering how to drop a couple of tenths on an eighth mile pass. I need a 6.40 or quicker in the 1/8th for my last 2 license runs and I can only muster a 6.52. I am going to upgrade this winter but anyone know any tricks to gain a couple of tenths. I ran a 1.42 60', I ran a 10.27 @ 127mph in the quarter mile. I thought about pulling out the 16lbs of fire system and going on a diet. Just thought I wolud ask. Proly should wait till I have more power next year. It is an old worn out 327, dart iron eagle heads, 850 holley, with about 700 laps in my asphalt, modified on it.

Stage as shallow as you can that way you get moving and run at the beams before they start timing, a little more air pressure so that the tires dont wind up as much

Had 8 pounds in the rear tires. Hoosier 31" by 12.5.

If you have no nose piece you can add 30" from axle centerline and break beak sooner.Not a lot but its something gained.

know anyone with aluminum heads you can borrow? hundred pounds would be roughly .10 in quarter probably .06 in 1/8. alky carb if can borrow should be good for .05 to .10,but would need whole system with pump.
