Great news on your back (especially) and the car updates.
Maybe your car and mine will be a close race? I plan to run eliminations around 6-7 psi on the Dart (low 15s?), then maybe try for records at 11+ psi during testing.
Cheers,
Lou

I hope to run low 15's. I fear that I may still be traction challenged with my skinny tires. But down the road a set of M/T 275/50 ET street radials will take care of that. You me and Ryan may run about the same. Ryan runs in the 14.9-15.1 range N/A. On second thought I think I'll just beat you both!!

Rick, what did you set your side bearing preload at ?
Looking foward to meeting up this year at M/D. Haven't seen Lou in years.
Maybe Doug Dutra will send me my Killer Bees T - Shirt before I leave for the east.

Romeo,
According to my FSM you run the one side in till you have .001 backlash. Then you lock that side down. run the other adjuster in and continue to tighten it until you have .006-.008 backlash. I ended up right at .007 and could get the lock in place there. Not exactly sure what a torque value would have been. I wish I would have thought to check it.

| Great, I read the same. Also heard to set at 75 ft lbs after setting backlash at .008 . I think that I'm with you and stick to the factory service manual..

Yes, I wasn't real worried because the gear set that I have is basically a worn out rusted up set that my Grandfather had setting in a barn 30 years ago. So they hum and sing a little. Romeo, If I were to guess, I would say that 70# is more than mine were set at. I'd guess maybe 40#. Again, that is just a guess!

Put the correct Ratio Gears in This time Rick!!
Dont go carzy on us and say that there 4.88's when you have 2.41's with a spool.
See you at M/D.

Here he is again stirrin' the pot! No wonder he doesn't have any friends! Killer Bees will have to adopt him - for a little while anyways!
