Re: camaro making me crazy bracket racing

It also don't hurt to learn to race at the stripe. Better to dial too slow and time crossing over the finish line than to dial too fast and not be able to do anything but watch 'em fly by.

Re: Dead spot. I need help!!

Had the same problem running the 670 Street Avenger on my 305. Up the size of the jets and it will fix it. I don't remember how many steps larger I went, I bought a jet kit and experimented.

Re: To shift or not....

Yeah, manual shifting with the stock shifter definitely blows. If not careful, I would always overshoot when shifting from first to second and hit third :gocrazy:

My understanding is this is supposed to be the last year for the 6.4. Next run will be a (6.7 I believe?) ford built engine. It will be interesting to see how that turns out.

Now you have a baseline. Do your tune up stuff and go from there. The stock rear end gears, if they're like mine were (2.73's) are killing you as well.

You won't find a mini spool or a spool to fit the 7 5/8" 10 bolt. They make a mini spool that will fit the 7.5" but not the 7 5/8.
