Last year I ditched the drag radials and put proper tires on the car with a set of Falken RT660. This..... this is the final ingredient that was missing. Car is ...

Yes, still have my Firebird after 27 years. Although I am getting tired of dealing with all the issues and maintenance of an old car.

Tire compound didn't arrive by the day I was supposed to retry on the dyno. I doubt I'll be getting on dyno before the car is put away for winter. I guess it's just going to remain a mystery.

I've got fuel.
I've got air.
I've got a tune.

Rolled the dyno with tires spinning above 4K rpm and came within 4 HP of setting the naturally aspirated record. I go back to the dyno in a week for ...

Still haven't tuned the engine yet other than drivability, which is pretty decent now. There's no point because the car is choking the engine from all sides: fuel, intake, & exhaust.

Hey, you guys are still here! Wavey

I can imagine that a drag car brakes real screwy with all that rear traction and very little traction available on the front. Is this a case where it would be better to put the prop valve on the fron ...
