Re: Top Draster wheelbase
No Blowers OOHHH NOOO..
"Hello Sonny, Can I pay you a dollar a year for the next 80,000 years for that 930 cubic inch hemi?" Sonny....hello......hello.....Sonny..are you there......hello...??? Actually I don't know olddigger but "I'll be your huckleberry". Wayne IS fixing the weather, he's in Florida wanting to see how he likes 80 degrees for racing. Scott, dead on with the spray. We'll be trying it out on the wifes car to see how it likes it. We'll be doing things a little different by spraying with alky. Hopefully all will be fine. Kruggy, you do share right??? |

Re: Top Draster wheelbase
Brian,
I'm sure you'll be fine. It's the total combo not just one thing. You've got a boat load of torque and depending on those heads it sounds like you'll be flying. As you know the wifes car is only 500 cubes but between the heads, converter, and tire combo it works pretty well. And don't forget, you can always put a 200 shot on it for about $350. P.S. He better not be talking about the entertainment. Last edited by pentastarrail; 02-18-2009 at 06:22 PM. |

Re: Top Draster wheelbase
I think everybody is busying on their cars. I am actually waiting on parts at this point. Ordered my Nitrous stuff today. Hopefully will be picking my wing up from Dan Page next week. Engine block is at the machine shop getting honed. Nothing to do now and a whole lot to in a week or so.
Heading up to MA to work on a buddies door car tomorrow and Sunday. I have been mounting a fiberglass nose and building a radiator mount for him. Along with some other fab work. Its not a dragster but hey at least its a race car. Figured I better get it finished before my parts come in. B.J. Masiello |

Frank is correct in that there are a lot of variables that come into play. It makes good sense for your engine guy to flow those heads. I am not all that familiar with conventional 24 degree big block heads. My point in asking that was that you do have a decent set of head on that motor so just being a 598 with ok heads it shoul make decent torque. Bigger runner volumes does not always mean more power. There are so many things that come into play. However if you look on Darts web site it appears there are minimal differences between the 345 as they sell it and the 360 as they sell it at least to me I could be missing something though. If your engine builder is telling you to keep them he must feel they will work better with your combination. Although it seems that .900 lift is an awful lot for a bracket motor. at least to me Other things to consider that will make huge differences are What gear are you running. depends on the weight of the car and at what rpm you hope to go throgh the traps Converter stall speed will also be important. Do you allready have a convereter. If not it would be worth calling reputable company and giving them your engine and car specs. Having a converter built for your combination can be worth several tenths. This I do know from experience. I dont know if you have a company you usually use but If you allready have a converter I know trans specialties will cut it open and set it up to your combination even if its not there convereter for a pretty reasonable price. Good luck although you probably won't need it. Sounds like a 7.3 or maybe faster combo to me B.J. Masiello Last edited by masracing; 02-18-2009 at 09:42 PM. |
