Is that a flex chassis? Randy Gumalt had a problem with his dragster breaking loose around the 1/8th mile marker because the chassis was too rigid. He thought a flex chassis would fix that. He made numerous changes but nothing seemed to help. Just wanted to mention.

Randy's chassis was also BBC. I've never pitted for a full on dragster so I have no experience in this. Just passing on what I was told. I wishing all the best for you and your setup. We need a new record I think its currently at 7.8 for the quarter. Living proof that the Y-block got a bum rap. Love to see you at the shootout in June.

I think Randy's chassis was designed for less power. I think they thought that it would be adequate since it had a BBC but it got a very powerful, blown Y.

I can see him thinking that a chassis made for a BBC would work on the Y. Seems he overpowered it.

This one is a 234" Spitzer, and has run a lot faster than I will, I had to loose 15 lbs to fit in the car (I still need to loose 15 lbs more), I worked hard to go to the Y Block meet in San Diego meet this week (not going to make it), making parts and waiting for parts takes a long time, however 2 back up engines are also in the works, and 2 transmissions, the car is certed, a set of new tires and very close but not yet.
