We’re going to put a slightly different tune-up in the ’57 for the August 15th race and see if we can pick it up a bit to the 1\/8th. A good time to work on next year’s combination. [Due to thunderstorms and heavy rains on the 14th, we did not take the ’57 out to the track as scheduled].<\/strong><\/p>\n

When we put the 350 in the 57 we were worried about hooking it with the increased torque, and thanks to the crew at PR that has not been a problem. So we retarded the cam 2-degrees to soften the launch but the old 331 with the lower gears is quicker to the 330 foot mark. So, we’ll advance the cam 2-degrees and let it rip! If it works the car should fly!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s the AVERAGE incrementals with the new 350 this season:<\/span>

60 foot: 1.449<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong>
330: 4.309<\/span><\/strong>
660: 6.717 @ 101.347 MPH<\/span><\/strong>
1000: 8.810<\/span><\/strong>
