Re: 8 3/4 Diff.

[Herb <zephyr9900@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Gas was a lot cheaper back then and it was a whole different time on the
streets, the MoPar clinics were in full swing and we had to try every mod
they suggested.  Or that we could afford or fabricate a workaround!  The
5:57 was great out of the hole but you pretty much ran out of motor at the
big end, unless you raced shorter than a quarter of a mile.  For some reason
that I could never figure out there were a large number of people in
surrounding areas that ran short races?.  So we compensated for the
environment and got paid at the end.   The 4:56 was a better overall choice
but not as much fun at lights.  (;

herb, 456s are awesome, i could not imagine 557s. though my brother had a 70
nova 396 with 656 gears and he drove it on the street. but that was probably
20 years ago.       jeff
