Updates and changes for the car for this year. Calvert split mono's replacing the stock leafsprings and caltracs. Replacing the rear shocks with Calvert single adjustables (temporary..had a great deal on them). Rear end is out ..axle tubes are welded..
The big change is a gear swap...for a few reasons..to lessen the load on the transmission, to see how the Continental reacts to the gear swap, swapping the UCC convertor back in during the season as well, looking to swap some sort of an overdrive into the car in a year or 2, dropping the 60 foot time down to sub 1.5's and also the car is driven more local not a lot of long highway miles.
So its a big change and definitely "geared" towards dragstrip performance and also I think this car has proved..you don't need a lot of gearing to have an all round performing car both on the strip and the street. I've also had some gentle nudging to see what would happen and document the results.

So no more 308 gears for now... 3.73's will be in this week.
Best et so far is 10.761 at 125.64 (car has seen 127mph in 2020) with a 1.5471 best 60ft
A few pics..the 4th picture is the factory spring perch that I just cleaned quick..
