Default Re: Hooking up an A Body Mopar

Thanks, Terry. I do appreciate the time you took to think that out and write it.

I'm no expert either, and I hear what you're saying about the duration. I don't know much at all about turbochargers, but every Saturday I go to breakfast with a bunch of guys (8-10) who race Grand Nationals and they all have cams in the 210-214-degrees @ .050" range, even the ones who run high tens. Some have lobe-center separations as high as 116 degrees. Maybe that's a turbo thing, I dunno; as I said, I am no expert, but I know you're certainly right about a bigger engine needing more cam. This cam will never do for the stroker motor. Some of those new EQ heads would help a lot, too...

Is there a bigger money pit anywhere, than a drag car?????????????????????????????

For now, I am cash-flow limited and will get the Moser axles ($445.00) and some better slicks (another $400) and bolt in that 4.10 and go racing. If I can't run some 11.30s, shame on me!!!

Oh; I have a big U-joint driveshaft in the works, too... I still have the small U-joints in the one I've been using and I feel like I'm living on borrowed time... LOL!
