Blog 17: Third Answer

• What is the best way to build a drag racing car, that can consistently win races?

• Complete engine rebuild with modifications, Powerglide transmission swap, and differential gear change.

• 3 Details to support answer

• Engine improvement is crucial for maximum power for the lowest weight. Bore a 350 ci engine to 383 ci for the same weight making over 100 more horsepower.
• Less time shifting equals more time going faster. keeping high rpms allows for the engine to pull out more power in shorter time.
• Bigger gears means higher speeds. Takes more power to get the car moving but when it moves it moves much faster.
