I can confirm ...Jason's BBQ is very tasty ....he is being modest ...his uncle started one of Ohio's largest BBQ chains. I have been apart of 3 of his delicious outings. He takes pride in his MEAT.

Andy ...Dave and I are brainstorming as of this afternoon....yes I won't cage a cool Copo....but some subtle changes are coming ....we have 3-4 more outings before the snow flies....so we are targeting a 10.90's pass . The track may shut us down without a cage. With the MPH and picking up 25-27 mph on the big end is huge....we think if I hit my shift points and launch with 20-21 PSI .... Very possible. We will keep you posted. Also going back to the 4.10 rear...shift light is coming on hard with 200' left at the big end. We love chasing this cars potential and I love cutting a good bulb.

Consistency is key,although I still a want to get at least 5/10s under the index incase I go nhra stock elim. racing. Should have 2 cars to race next year. May need to hire a driver. Any volunteers to wheel a ford?

what are you going thru the lights at? I'm just hittin 7000 rpm at the finish.rear end is a 4.71.my mile per hour is slower than yours as I have less horsepower. Would like to get the power up a little more and go through the lights closer to 7800. That would bring my mile per hour up to around 134 or so.that will probably take another 50 horse and I'm not sure I can squeeze that out of stock cast iron heads and cast iron intake without spending big bucks.

Andy ...that is one of our changes that we discussed...we have 4.56 rear gear ...and we shift at 6,000 but my shift light is coming on with about 250' of track left So we are putting a 4.10 gear in it. The motor puts out 610 HP peaked at 6,300...then it falls off....that was 16 passes on the dyno ...so we know at 6,300 we are peaked out

Seems a little low in the shift points Doug. Will a 4.10 get you out of the gate like you want?

[VintageMusclecar]

Doug;

Does it basically level off after peak or really nose over?

Man I love reading this stuff. Until his untimely death, COPOPETE and Rob spent countless hours discussing the same things.

Would be cool if we could get together to race/hangout, maybe once a month, with the final one at the SCR.

Sammy...earlier this year we had a 4.10 gear and the car would not get out of the gate ...but since then we have made a few changes and added air pressure to 20# ....Eric once it peaks at 6,300 RPM...and I have approx 250' left to run out ...I am on cruise control with no more power....it levels off ...and then I turn on the radio ( CCR) lol. It does not nose over. Tom ...that's a great idea ...I could swing every 2 months possibly. I really enjoy the feedback and info

[COPO CARTEL]

When we dynoed the motor ...its peak is 6,300....my 6,000 shift point reasoning is ....once I see the shift light and by the time I shift its at 6,300
