Finished the mold for new nose piece. Taking advantage of the 40 in overhang. Most dragsters aerew limited to 30. I figure the little extra will screw with competition and is worht about ,007. Moving steering rack and battery fowars 7" both and moving rack n pinion to front of axle which allows fuel tanl to move 40 lbs foward 7" the new nose design allows battery to be moved. Not sure how much front wheel wight will chnage but going to find out, Figure to sit battery up soi can move back at any time.

I spent a good bit of time last week switching my "econo-rail" from a Rochester Q-jet and dual-plane intake to a Torker II with a dual line 600 Holley. We had been struggling this year to get it to match last year's performance and after several failed fixes to the fuel system and Q-jet I finally caved-in and decided to join the Holley crowd.
Did a test and tune Friday night and raced last night. By the 2nd run at the TnT we were within .05 seconds of the car's best ever run, and I think we set a new high on MPH. Seemed a bit "fat" on fuel so we did a smaller jet swap on the secondaries and plan to get a jet assortment this week to do some more tuning to the carb, thinking it is still a bit rich on the mild 305 Chevy. The car was pretty consistent again and not head scratching over what the problem might be made racing a whole lot more fun again.
FWIW.....we're just foot-braking in the ET bracket class so consistency is our goal.
