Thanks for the speedy replies!
Terry-
Haven't tried launching in anything but first. That is an interesting idea, we normally have traction issues well into third at the strip. We are considering some drag radials for next year, but are worried about what will happen to the driveline. By the way, grearing and tranny info can be found at the link I posted. And yes, Eric did build our engine. We had some issues with it, but Eric stood behind his product and got it all worked out for us...hopefully for good.
So that's one vote for raise the limiter/leave the manifold and one vote for a bigger manifold (super vic jr)...interesting. I imagine the larger manifold should also be accompnied with a raised limiter to take full advantage. This rev limiter change doesn't really suprise me, but sometimes it just helps to hear someone else say it.
Are there any non-Edlebrock manifold options?? I can't really say I'm a fan of those guys...
Also, are there any dual plane manifolds that can keep up with a 427??
Any other related thoughts are also welcome
