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.

3940 lbs. LOL seems funny talking about drag racing with a 4000lb truck dont it. I have a 67 suburban big block truck , cant stand the thaught of what it will weigh. 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.

The selfs built my buddy's motor, good people. Do you ever make it to thundervalley or tulsa's track?

I really dont go to the races much anymore. I went to Baytown yesterday and the wind was so high they did not run.(seriously there were port-a-pottys blowing all over the place up). I have been working 70-80 hours a week for a year and a half in the oil business, but Im off now because of a surgery. When I finish my truck I may venture to Thundervalley for the division race, if I can afford the gas!!

69 I run a Competition Engineering 90/10 front shock on my truck . I just got the shocks for a camaro and built a little bracket for the top using the top bolt welded to a piece of angle . You just drill a hole for the strut type shock . I come to Noble every October for the divisional its one of my favorite tracks .
