I dont know if you have a swaybar on the front or not,If you do try diconnecting it to free up the front end some.You can also try a 90/10 shock or some ol worn out shocks on the front to help put weight on the rear.Any how it is plenty fast ,good job.

I just removed the front sway bar and the brackets. Also removed stock hood and springs, seams that i might be saving around 75lbs or more. Ordered race weight cowl hood from us body source and they said it weighs around 25lbs. I'm also moving battery to the rear under the bed with a drop out battery box.

Another secret, make a good solid airpan when using the cowl hood. Make sure it is sealed tight against the bottom of the hood with some thick foam that wont let air pass through or break its seal to the hood. LOL duct tape works great, just doesnt look the best. UMMM, if you can find the Sterno gel burners like they use to heat food in catering lines, you can rub some on the bottom of the hood, it makes the air passing through the cowl cooler. This may sound extreme, but lets just say been there done that. What oil are you using?

15-40 royal purple synthetic.

Have you heard of Leading Edge oil products?? I dont know if they are still around or not but the oil additive they have works great with Royal Purple synthetics. We found 18 avg horsepower with that stuff on a 900+hp small block. The bearings looked great, never had any problems. Polydyne has TX-7 that works great also. What carburetor are you running?

It' a 950 proform.

Just curious who built your engine? I know a few racers in Oklahoma. The 950 is the way to go with small carbs , I was going to say try the K&N stub stack(if its ported to clear the air bleeds) if your carb has an air horn . What did your truck weigh?? It runs fast no doubt. I ran a bigger tire than you (I think) , I used the 29.5x11.5 Mickey Thompsons with no tubes. They where kind of big but the truck would hook-up anywhere. I ran a 331 with no tourqe, so I can see traction being a problem for you.
