Hooking up shouldnt be a problem wit those big tires!!!! I would guess 6.80-7.00 to much tire and to much carb.. Put a 28 inch tall 10inch wide tire on and a 850 car will prob leave harder and be more responsive ...
Money! I race every weekend at Beech Bend (Bracket racing) and the two classes I race in are 1/8 mile. They are the only classes that pay money. These cars cost to much money to build just to race just for fun. Thats not to say I don't have fun, but I have more fun with that check in my pocket at the end of the day if I'm lucky.
Ohhh...I guess it costs alot of money. However, I'm running high 12's low 13's in my 71 Skylark, and I have $4000 in the whole thing.
similar to my first setup but cast iron ported heads/kenne bell maxi4 cam easy low 11s 1/4 mile car not sure what 1/8 was cant find my timeslips (damn wifes cleaning throws out whats not hers)
