Went back to the track (Much Better) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I had posted that my 3.73's and posi didn't help much but I think they helped. I readjusted the valves and found that they were backing off So I rigged it for now! I also foun that my Cheater Slicks were TOAST! I had cord showing on 1 (from before the posi) I went and bought a set of sportsman pro's 28X12! I had a much better 60ft and eight mile ET's! My best 60 ft was 1.97 and my best eighth mile 8.83 at 78.43 mph!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's more like what I had expected to gain.

As a side note I weighed it! It weighed 3806 with out the 210lbs driver!
