furr980,
Join this group, http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group...OCKdragracing/. You'll get plenty of help from these guys. The 29.5 Mickey T radials were a .10 faster on my Pure Stocker in a back to back.
Later, Joe

I would put a 2.75 gear in the trans and a 4.88 in the rear running radials. You might want to check cam specs on the 73 and 74 . One had a optional calif cam with more duration,401/401 lift, if available I would use the 4bbl.

8.5 10 bolt >>>>>>>>>> you will be limited to a 4.11 I believe.

thanks guys for all the great info. thnaks michael for the radials, ill defineatelt be testing with them. mark, where can i find that optional cam you were refering to.

greg fulk · 10-24-2007, 07:15 PM

the 74 is the one that has the 401 cam....also an 8.5 rearend will be fine in a pure stocker...you can get up to a 5.38 ring & pinion.....my cutlass has an 8.5 with a 5.13 gear & i've turned as good as 1.61 60's with it.

Goodyear 9x30 radials rule......8 different compounds are available, it was worth near .2 and 2 MPH my first set over the bias ply M/T's I was running.

I run the # 6303's (D-4A) for bracket use.....light burnout on hot tracks (120 plus), a little more aggressive on cool tracks (80 and below)....

How ya been Fuzz?
