No, still only getting 20 psi but I changed my muffler to a Super40 and now have zero traction off the line. I am going to make a 2 stage boost launch set up and play with my cam timing to soften the bottom end hit!

thanks ken. low 13's is what i was hoping on, full weight other than a/c and a few other small items(spare tire, jack ect.) pondering stripping inside, but dont know if i want to race it that often. im trying to keep it as orig. as possible. #4 you say? inch from head, so be it! prob. gonna do the wiseco on the next block(will be my back up), as they were talking 3-4 weeks on pistons. :big grin:

thanks for replys!!!

Hey man car looks good. I live in delaware off Old State and 36&37. Nice to see there is someone so close with a sweet ride. I have seen you unload on 23 coming from Orange Road once. Car sounds good. What paint did u use on your block too?

just regular black engine paint from the auto parts store. 2-3 coats. i live on orange road. how long ago was it that you seen me on 23? have to check out your ride sometime. what kind of turbo dodge do ya have? just got done puttin in a walbro 255 pump so its been down for a few days. hopefully be back up and running by the weekend, though im still breakin in the new forged motor. waiting to go to marion raceway, though i dont think my clutch is up to it. used a stock till winter as i couldnt afford a good one, then ill go big, and get a real clutch. not a lot of money to blow since i have a big mortage and two kids!
