charliemccraney (11/16/2011) Did the traction device seem to work?Yes! I believe it did help some although I think I will need different tires for Elmo than I use for Bonneville. I made changes on all runs except for the #3 as the #2 run was a waste, the clutch didn't engage for fourth till I had lost my momentom and I only ran 115 mph. I ran 122 for the first pass with 40* total advance then backed off to 35* and ran 118 on the third pass. For the second day I bumped the timing back up to 40* and removed the mufflers, I also modified the "Air box" to work with the Mummert intake (the carb position is slightly different than the BT) then ran 126.01 mph. For the last pass I brought the timing up to 43* total and ran 126.5. That engine likes timing as did the "Brick". Also after the first pass I lowered the pressure in the rear tires from 50 psi to 40 psi.

I know that it was not a record run, but 126 mph with a stock body slick and a warmed over y block is pretty damn awsome! Congrats Tim.

Thanks Glen! I'm happy! It was a good weekend and a great year. New engine is going together this winter, been talkin' with Ted about pistons, and maybe 150+ next year.

I know you made several changes which contributed to the extra speed. How much would you say the new heads helped in those gains? Or what was the biggest contributing factor? Just curious.

Greg, It all added up to a great package. The heads will be on the next motor though.
