Not sure on MPH. We thought the thing should go a little quicker as well. We were then, as we are now, learning. A good boosted launch could have knocked tenths off that ET easy.
Someone needs to let me in on a little bit of this secrete squirrel stuff and maybe we'll get a little VE competitor going. lol

my mind is churnin!
Their really is not much secrete squirrel stuff with the VE, what do you want it to run?
I love VE pumps!

Well I didn't want it to come to this but I came across a deal too good to pass up on a p7100 so it's here now. Feel like I'm letting myself down a little by making the switch. but realistically now I can really get serious about going fast. Top notch components with a ve pump behind them seems to be a bit of a waste.

I just dropped this honey off at the pump shop should have it back in a few weeks. Main thing is the lead time for a cam. So back to waiting again.

BOOOO.....
It was the wise decision. Selling the VE!?
Ummm yeah no doubt there it has escalated VERY VERY rapidly. It's a turned into something pretty insane. Hopefully using quality components and taking the time to engine dyno it will yield something that can be driven to go get a gallon of milk and loaf of bread as well as punch me into a high 9 second quarter.
Hopefully mother nature and the farm markets cooperate to speed this build up exponentially. Lol

It's starting to sound better still feels wrong though lol

It feels wrong swapping pumps on this thing but unfortunately I need to get this engine build going. I've been staunchly against putting a p pump on.
I don't think so. Will probably throw it on an engine for a tow rig/daily. I need something else sense this thing is torn down lol

Nice P pump. It sounds like you're going all out now.

Not made specifically for 1st gens. 67-70 Mopar B-body. While at the Mopar show in Vegas over the weekend, I noticed a lot of resemblance when I saw the factory hinges in a '68 Charger. Then came across a few B-body cars with these billet hinges assisted by a lifting strut.
A quick Google search pointed me to Eddie Motorsports and Ring Bros. There's another company making them but I forget who it is.
Turns out, Eddie Motorsports is local to me so I took my factory hinges as a comparison. Everything matched... geometry, bolt patterns. I bought these as a trial for fitment and functionality. If they work, I'll exchange them for a coated set.
