Spud Miller's Cave / Slow Reaction Time down with no Electronics?

« on: August 11, 2014, 06:49:44 AM »

I had a new valve body put into the transmission and the Pro Brake in it is quicker than the one on the old valve body.

Up to now have never had a red light when running a Pro Tree, this weekend I had three, (2) .375's and a .380.

Need to slow the vehicle reaction time down with no electronics.

I'm going to try a longer throw button.

Suggestions?

Drag Racing / Fellow FED member's son is down.

« on: July 25, 2014, 05:12:02 AM »

Austin Means, son of Greg Means (FED member gregm784) was involved in a ATV accident. His son has been working with him to learn the ropes. No one wants to see anyone hurt when it's a kid it's worse. Positive though and prayers would go along way..

He is stable and in good spirits. He is in surgery having large laceration sewn up. Approx 9"long. He got scalped they said.

The major concern is a fractured C4 vertebra in his neck. We will know more after an mri is done. The ct showed a fractured, but they aren't sure how bad yet. Getting the bleeding on his head stopped is more important as he is stable and alert.

Matt Shaff's Engine Shop / Hemi Engines

« on: June 23, 2014, 06:46:05 PM »

I currently, in case you do not know, have a Pontiac engine in my dragster.

It has reached the limits of a stock block. An after market block (Pontiac) is 5 grand.

Thinking out of the box, if I were to go to a Hemi what should I know and what should I look at?

I would want to run 7.5 with it with the possibility of going to 7.0
