I thought about doing a line lock for burnouts. Don’t know if it would help much on the staging lanes. The only thing about the box is it would take away from the classic look I’m going for but it’s definitely an option. Thanks for the comment.
The Airgap is a much better intake manifold, not surprised it picked up a few tenths at the track with that change. As for not running good with an air cleaner, that's probably because you got the carb tuned in without the air cleaner which definitely has more airflow meaning it wanted more fuel. Restrict the air flow without dialing back the fuel, it's probably running super rich with the air cleaner on. I'd definitely try to run the largest air cleaner you can, 14x4 if you can manage it under the stock hood, but probably not, at least not without a drop pan. Anyway, I'm sure you'll get it sorted.
@@TheBobbyb918 the filter top/lid should help a good bit in that case. a drop base with only a 3" filter means all the air squeezes through like a 1 1/2" to 1 3/4" space over the center of the carb, really kills flow, so anything you do to help open that up will help for sure.
Just out of sinus surgery... binge watching your videos... awesome work!
Thank you!
A couple of suggestions would be a line lock and an air cleaner box with a tube to mount on carb where a could ram in from the front of the car.

good to see you back
Thanks sometimes it’s just hard to find time for RUclips.
@@TheBobbyb918 I understand it just a really nice car and you make great videos

I’m thinking about trying the k&n air cleaner top for more flow. I’m currently running a 14x3 with a drop base.
