Tim I think you are doing an outstanding job. You are building you own engines, I don't know who is doing the head work on your ports, you or someone else, but overall you are going fast because of your hard work. I have always liked this project from when it arrived at Todd's to now. Record or not you should be very proud of your project. Out running people with a bigger budget is icing on the cake. As far as drag racing, it is not as "laid back" as LSR but I met and made lots of friends doing it and they would all help you no matter what brand you were racing, in general "throttle jockey's" are great people. Thank you! and yes I do my own head work, so far anyway, still thinking about a set of Johns heads. 
 God Bless.  Tim http://yblockguy.com/

A set of johns ported heads might be what you need to set that record. Do you have use of a flow bench for the heads? Eather way great job, and I am sure you will go faster. Did the O2 censor help any?

Tim it was great listening to those 2 runs.Seems like you rung it's neck in 3rd on the fist run and didn't on the 2nd one. Don't know if that was deliberate or not but I've found out that I always went faster when I was in high gear a little longer. Guess that lets the torque do it's work. I've never had any cameras inside with a run in my old coupe but riding along with you sure brought back memories. Roadsters are a bit different and someday maybe we will hear you for 5 miles and believe you me it it's a thrill to hold your foot in one that long..... JD Can't wait to get there in October.

Gary, the O2 sensor did give info that helped so I think it was a worthwhile investment. I don't have a flow bench but I think I have a pretty fair idea where to cut and smooth. JD, it may sound different in the two videos but I always run third out to 7000 rpm so I can come into fourth as high as possable. First and second aren't so important but you really need the Rs in third if you want the top speed in fourth. Just ask Charlie.

OK, I found it Tim! Is there an intro section here? Don't tell dad I am hanging out with you guys.You can just do it here and then start looking around. Tman is Trent who helps us out at Bonneville, we are working on converting him to Y-Blocks and I think he's leaning our way. He is second from the left.

Tim, Since you're getting rid of unnecessary stuff, do you want to get rid of the 3 speed shifting tube in the column? It'll save a pound or two. I think I have some 4 speed collars lying around or you can go to a salvage yard and get one off trucks up to '76. It will bolt directly in place. You're going to need everything you can get.
