    I will be installing my Cal Tracs and running my car in the next couple of weeks. I will post the results as soon as I do, my car does 1.44 60ft. times now, so it will be interesting to see how much Cal tracs alone improve it. If any one is considering buying them, you will soon know just what they do.

    With that 60ft time now, I don't think you can expect more than a hundreth or two. All depends on the track conditions and a zillion other things too. When you are running such good numbers now, each change you make rarely gets more than a few hundreths improvement if any. Just don't want you to be disappointed and upset with the Trac's.

    I don't think I am going to have my car together for this weekend. Is this for the Ford-Moper drags? I will let you know if I can make it. They have number specific Cal Tracs for the Mavericks, but you do have to tell them axle housing diameter and spring perch width. I have a copy of my timeslip posted now.

    Appreciate that, yeah I figure they won't make a huge difference either, but it will be interesting to see. That 60 ft time is with a 150 hp shot of NOS, the normal time is 1.60. I will try it both ways and post the results.
