put some 3.55 gears in it. the 2.75s are killing you off the line. And for racing only; take out the passenger seats, undo the sway bar end links.
She's running good. take care of her.
: I'm back once more. Anyway I ran my other stock 73 Maverick at the track
: Friday night aguinst a stock 72 Maverick Grabber. I thought you may be
: interested in the results. The 72 had a 250 inline 6 with a automatic
: and 2.75 open gears. It ran a 18.941 (best) at 76.46 mph. My 73 with a 302
: C4 and 2.75 open gears (with 195-70-14s at the moment) ran 16.007 at
: 85.92 mph. I plan on hitting high 15s next weekend. Mine is all stock
: with 140,000 miles on the clock. About the only thing I've done to it
: is rebuild the trans with a little looser converter, shift kit and adjustable
: modulator. Oh and 2 inch pipes with some cheap muffler house mufflers on
: it and a open element 14 inch air cleaner. I'm gonna weigh it in at the
: truckstop next weekend to see exactly what the race weight is. It feels
: good to be raceing again.
