Over tiring a FED for bracket racing

<< < (2/2)

That's awesome!!

Curly1:
Well the thing is you know what makes the car work, you want it to wrap up the tire some, barely hit the wheelie bar to help it get up on the tire and keep it from getting front wheels too high or climbing too fast. Sounds simple but it is not. I had to try a bunch of different tire combinations, one thing well worth trying is putting tubes in the tires. It stiffens them up some and on my car it really helped.

lack of memory is not rewarding. lol
our fed is 1968 from cali. had m/t's 10.5x33-15. have no idea what they did on the left coast.
but ordered the same tires and have no issues. run 8.5lbs pressure. 350 671 buick launches at 3500.
goes straight. carries about 5'' about 60'. tried 4000 rpm launches. never seem a chassis twist all over. ugly
