I pull a 52 Super M that the pump removed is the only weight savings i"ve done. It has 16.9-38 24 degree field and road tires that are 95% tread. I have front, mid and rear weight bars. With 10 psi in the ties and 400 lbs on the mid bar and 100 out front, me shifting my weight foward in the seat will lower the front end. It is amazing that the balance is that close that my weight can do that. Mine is stock stroke, stoke rods,stock cam with alot of attention put into the 450 "gas" head and pistons. The carb is done very well as well. A good governor spring is a must "see Chad" but you must turn the rpm done with it "in the governor" because your stock cam doesnt make power above 1850 on the dyno.[ Torqe #s fall off fast " I by know means have done this for along time but applied my drag racing to this with great success. It"s the same you must build a combination that works together. Lucky for me to have some great people around me to keep me going in the correct direction. I won"t say how much power i make but it is at least double what stock was. A good hot spark is also very important , MSD is the way to go. I think seat time is the best thing in this sport. Every time i think i know the set up "WRONG" every track is a little differnt. I have been out pulled by tractors with 1/2 the power because of a better setup and drver. Make sure you get the compression up and you have good rings in the motor" file fit them your self" the kits ring end gap is out of spec. I have had more fun doing a motor that "isn"t" stroked with a stock cam and out pulling big dollar machines. It is still a wet block and drive it in the local Merorial Day parade. Have pics! Great sport "Good Luck" .
