Default Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.

Last minute decision to hit test and tune today so last night we moved the shifter back since I had a PM from a forum member as well as a friend tell me it wasn't popping out of gear she was pulling it out when the car launched, we also took some base out of the clutch. Well the good news is she was pulling it out of gear so thats fixed, clutch is still grabbing good and we still have to add weight to be legal so we'll see how the glutch behaves next time out with more weight. Test-n-tune was packed so that didn't help any, the first run we set the leave rpm at a lowly 4600 and I set the shift light at 6400, launched good but drug the motor down just a tad, wheels in the air about 2 feet 1.48 60' and 7.45 to the 1/8. Sat in the staging lanes for 2+ hours for the second run, set launch at 4800 and it blew the tires off, came back and the right rear was going flat, so we called it a day. Shifter is now in the furthest position back as you can see in the pic.
