I really like your car, it looks like it could have been time warped from the 50's.  I know you have a quick change, but I was wondering what you are using for a trans now that the power and speed are getting up there.

Thanks Charlie.

Trans is a close ratio muncie.

Last year I was running gm t-5,& probably lucky it didnt grenade.

its not how fast you go, its how you go fast.

I hear you about the t-5, I think the Muncie should do the trick. I have a Ford t-5, but it should be good for my speeds this year.



Another question is about your scatter shield. Are you using one of the Quick Time bells or are you using a 360* ring?

Charlie,

I built a 360 degree shield out of 1/4" plate.

A lot of work,but it passed tech.

its not how fast you go, its how you go fast.

Thanks Keith, I too run a 1/4" thick ring. It used to be only 4 inches wide and tech said I needed more. I doubled the top 180* to 8" wide, Im sure it will pass, but if I get a new inspector, they seem to always say something about it until an experienced tech comes along. I wished there was an easy solution to all the problems I have encountered trying to use a Quick Time bell.



I will be eagerly awaiting news of your Bonneville results in August. Go fast and be safe.

Hope everything works out. There is a "formula" for an air intake mostly for injectors. Many factors. Flat plate, certain sized air horn off the plate a certain length, and a back space area. It's to make pressurised "dead air". Got the formula some where in my stash of info for the 12 Port GMC I built. In my LSR class the part infront of the leading edge of the car may not taper on the outside and not excede 48 sq. in.

Anyway the car looks great and I hope you meet your goals..............JD

Kieth,

I'll pass on a tip from my experience with positive induction from motorcycles. I'm sure you already and factored this in.

Positive induction requires that fuel bowls, fuel pumps and any form of vacuume reference on ignition systems needs to be referenced other wise you will run lean or run out of fuel. The same as blow through supercharging.

 Even though I was only changing carbs on my bike (the motorcycle was already running positive induction) the fuel bowls needed to be conected to the air box, the fuel tank was referenced to the air box and sealed. The ignition system was shared with a turbo fiat which I'm sure presure retards the ignition.

Fuel for though and good luck.

The areo improvments must of worked,& getting full travel of throttal didnt hurt.
