Tsalt,
I have never been a fan of HP in a bottle... I just like to get as much as I can per cubic inch from a single carb.
That Zmax dragway was one impressive place, I had fun and will probably do some more drag racing with the Vicky, since the Stude will be the primary LSR car. But our LSR family is so much better,,, even in low key deal like Friday night the drag race mentality is not like our LSR family.
I have an extra center chunk with a Detroit Locker and 3.25 gears,, I am going to regear it for the 1/4.. maybe 4.13's or 4.30's.. not sure but think 4.56 might be to low,, unless I use the 4.56 with my 27" tires for the 1/8 and use 29 or 30 tall for the 1/4 ??
