Life at the track has changed a bit! Dropping 50 points or so off of the duration at .020 or at .050 below cam specs with geometry can yield a bit more horses and pull more vacuum to play around with! Adding more torque and cooling the mix as well as the engine can do a bit more in re-timing the burn cycle! While most have to buy what is offered, I've never had this option as most! Doing things the only way I could to improve is all I know about! We started out up against 406s and 383s with all money could buy with our stock parts 350-.066! I can say we moved the bar up a bit through the years for every-one and for that I do regret your struggle now! Offering my help to improve if possible is my gift back to the group who struggles still to compete! All my best is that the left ones needs lower than the right to even out when rolled for even traction! Drivability of roll-out is then possible! Raising the bar on the right side put us over the top and around the turn faster!

Doing it again I fear as the bar has been raised by helping others win while some stay behind! While everyone can't win at least a few more have had the opportunity once more to renew the joy of passing the other-guys for a change of the week in faster racing! Looking forward to progress reports of your next race!

Our straight away speeds were grand but it wasn't always the engine horses but torque being applied in the turns to get it moving enough to have less of a load or drag from things binding up such as roll out or the steering settings ft. and rear that corrected there selves by getting off the corner straighter! Having a free rolling chassis is an advantage to give the horses a better shot at being put to good use! Our use of more toe out in the turns was only there in a static setting not as it rolled, nosed and lifted the front end of bump steer! You can bet there was no plowing being done in the straights with ride heights, camber, and the toe-in correcting its self! No ft. end machines to test it out, just a look as it walked off the corners in first place! With all the spindle, ball joint heights, arms being moved and distance changes while twisting up of todays right nosed chassis, it must be hard to find a free spot for long unless getting it on one wheel in the front! The transition to get the rear twisted enough to align with the right front is a bit much if pushing with too much left drive! No wonder for the need of more horses!
