With my last combo I was running 12.70's at 108 consistently. My 68 is more of a "cruise night" car than dragster, but I do like running the street legals occasionally. With the newer cars getting faster and faster I felt it was time to do something. The car is stock with factory air and a 468 (Edelbrock RPM pack) T400, 2800 Coan convertor and 3.73 geared 12 bolt.
I went to Vrbancic brothers racing in Ontario California and told them I need a new engine hopefully 600+ hp. I told them I would like to run pump gas (with a splash of 110 on race day) and retain my Edelbrock Oval 6045 Heads and Air gap performer intake. I also requested a Hydraulic roller cam.
They said no problem (with some minor head work including larger valves) and we're off to the races. The finished product will be a 10.5 to 1 540. I'm hoping to keep my John Avery 850 dp but we'll see.
So my question is,,, What will the car need to keep me and those around me safe at the track. I already have 275 60 MT drag radials. What axles etc will I need to update to?
Thanks Guys!
