Re: 11.37 new quarter mile time
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?

Re: 11.37 new quarter mile time
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?

Re: 11.37 new quarter mile time
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.

I know the Self's from Durant, and the Freemans, I used to race with them back in the day. I worked with Lump when he ran comp and Pro Stock Truck.
