Welcome to the board!

With that MPH you should be well into the low 16's. Is it bogging or spinning off the starting line?

I agree with Slantzilla
I Have run a best of 16.35 @82 with 3.91's, I was running 17.1@80 with 2.76's with tha same basic setup
That is 3/4 second faster and only gained 2mph

HEY GUYS/GIRLS

thanks for the quick reply i am running a 3.23-1 lsd
and it is a little hard to get out of the hole but the mid range and top end is pretty good but is does seem to bog a little when you stand on it hard so i have to kinda stage the throttle in to it i feel for the step in the carb from pri to sec on the edelbrock i stand to the kick then once the revs get to bout 2500ish i let it have ti all the shift up 2 at about 5300 ish

does any one know how to crisp up the throttle on a edelbrock...

your sheepishly

You can increase the accel pump shot by moving the tie rod from the pump to the actuator arm to a different hole. May not help much, though. Increasing initial timing while keeping full mechanical advance at 28 deg or so could help.

My general recommendation is to get a nice 3000 stall converter, which will really wake things up, and will not change much about how it drives on the street until you stand on it.

Also, the holley 500 2bbl is a great carb for a medium built 225. Better throttle response than an eddy 500-4.

Nice to see another Aussie here.

Firstly, I can't believe Slantzilla didn't recommend you use some "bottled horsepower"

I agree, higher stall, and maybe sticky tires(if you're having traction problems). Are you using the stock ignition system? As mentioned before, 83mph is definitely good for a quicker ET. I've run a 16.3 @ 84mph, and I've been told that speed is good for a quicker ET......??????

Got to get it to run right first. Adding the hose now would just mask the real problem.

hey guys/girls

yes i am running eletric ingtion its a crane cams optical kit the goes in to the dizzy i think its called a xr 700 the dizzy is stil nor recurvred as yet and my total timming is about 30-32`D the coil is a matched crane coils unit ps90 ( very big spark!!!!! does hurt ..)

and i checked the convertor in my engine build/trans book i kept the stall was lifted 500-700 over stock

i watch some vids of my at the drags and there seem to be no major wheel spin issuses happening

today i will try adding more acc pump shot to clean up the throttle response it i am also going to clean the k&n filter to it looks a little dirty

oh and SV162 i am not a member of mopar market but i do know the web site .

al thought in a total picture i think i need a good lsd +lower gears and a mopar ele dizzy

you getting shawn today

you should slap those vids up somewhere like youtube or something i'd get much joy at watching you car dominate some dragstrip. I got some videos but on a friends computer one of these days i'll figure out how to get them on somewhere I'm rebuilding my baby as we speak.
Good luck man have fun be safe oh and i wouldn't mind a lesson on distributor recurving (wink wink someone)
