Front Engine Dragsters / Easiest chute to pack

« on: November 02, 2014, 07:32:45 AM »

I have a Simpson chute on my car and it works very well but it is a pain to pack . It just seems like the pack is too small for the chute . I have been thinking about a Stroud chute just because they are such nice people to deal with . Any thoughts ! Bill

Front Engine Dragsters / How I spent my Labor day

« on: September 01, 2014, 02:21:02 PM »

Spent a nice relaxing day working on my car . Playing with cam timing a little . When I degree the cam on an engine stand there is no valve spring pressure . This time I did it in the car with the rockers on and it changes it about 2 degrees . I advanced it 2 degrees and now it is where I thought it should be .
