As for carbs, footbraking probably requires more tuning than 2-step or T-brake. Basically you have to size the squirters and pump volume (pump cams on Holleys) so it doesn't squirt too long or not long enough as well as how much is being delivered through that time.Remember that a smaller squirter will prolong the squirt duration while a bigger one will reduce it, if there are no other changes. I think you can actually unload the suspension enough to encourage spin if you get lean or rich enough before the main circuit kicks in. Jet for MPH and play with the accellerator pump circuit for 60' times. Keep tinkering back & forth till you get the best results. It can take a lot of time, but inconsistent traction makes it more difficult. Make sure you only make one change at a time and keep the water temp consistent. In other words, keep variables to a minimum so what you change will make the most difference.

Myron, thanks for the information. You've given me ideas that I never would have thought of. I'm running a 6.50 index class and I try to leave as high as I can because of the pro tree. I haven't checked this particular carb, but the boosters are probably flowing by 3k, right? This is a 9375 with .052's. I try to stage between 145 and 150. I thought about staging at a higher temp to try and kill some power.
