Re: Black RS/Z & the 1/8 mile... any suggestions?
The good lakewood traction bars and hurst drag shocks on the front.
We were out on the street launching it at 4000-4500 and it would spin for 10-15 ft and when it would get traction it would bog a little...

Re: Black RS/Z & the 1/8 mile... any suggestions?
Hey, post a picture of the car...a black Z with stickies on rallys...NICE!
 Good luck to ya...only things I can think of are make sure your timing is in quickly, and might wanna go to a lighter secondary spring...bad thing about a small block is they're a little more finicky about launch rpm and what not...a big block has a little more torque so can go from anywhere, but sometimes it's either bog or spin with a small cube...where's Sammy, I bet he's full of "good info" on small blocks!

Re: Black RS/Z & the 1/8 mile... any suggestions?
I've got the 480 all in Quickly... with as much initial as it can stand and still crank.
It will be running 110 leaded... I am mainly worried about being lean on the top... I can't remember if I put 68 72's in the carb or 72 76's... I will have the camera... we are going to try to get some good shots of it launching... It looks so freaking sweet with the M/T's on rally's, the Yellow Lakewoods peeking out, and the Torque Thrusts on the front... We are going to drive it like it was meant to be driven!!!
