May 12th 2018:
We found the culprit in the Chevelle this morning, the new aluminum Moser rear end center has fractured teeth on the pinion and a double pattern after only 3 hits on May 5th. The scalloped spool and/or extreme lightened ring gear is deflecting and binding on the runs. I don’t recommend that Moser setup in a heavy car! Our old Strange 4.71 nodule-iron center is back in the car as we speak with over 220 runs on gears we setup years ago and is running well again after a thorough check of the engine cylinder leak-down and valve springs this morning. A great team effort by Paul, Chris and myself.
Chris drove very well and made it to the 5th round of Pro Bracket this evening which was a great comeback from last weekend!! Nothing like a morning thrash to get the car out to the track! And a salute to Paul Young for doing an excellent job with the dial-ins!! Proud of you sons!! But I’m starting to get a complex, you guys do very well when I’m not out there!!
Next is to get the 1-2 shift point where it belongs and we’re in good shape! – Roger

May 23, 2018 Update:
Moser stated that with the lightened ring gear in a heavy car, such gear deflection may occur. However they refuse to make it right! So we’re out a gear set by purchasing their product. – Roger

Was a good day. Glad the old girl is back to her normal self again….Now to get shift points set and I’m going to try and get the car better balanced front to rear.
It was a good weekend all around. Great job guys!
Today I replaced the carb floats, needle & seats, bowl & metering block gaskets Chris purchased from Pro Systems to refresh his Dominator carburetor & made a slight jet change.
Good for awhile!!
Same Carburetor I have and has been on several motors in the 550hp to 700hp range, very good & Patrick at Pro System’s has a nice main body side gasket that saves trimming a gasket!
I also have my Pro System’s XE860 4150 that stock is a Holley HP1000 however he bored it to 1.590″ venturi due to it being an annular billet booster, it is running low 10’s and drives like EFI!
Great work guys, I like the new Afco coil overs, most have the spring much lower making it harder to adjust extension and compression! I really like them guys!
