we run a 3x3 blockzilla with 33 mikuni and a shockwave clutch.
Really like the shockwave clutch from jr racecar. we spent a whole year trying to make a polar work and had not much success. bolted the shockwave on and it has been awesome.
I think we run a 5.13 gear ratio. i have to double check if you need to know for sure. we stripe at about 7500.

I also had a lot of dificulty getting our Gaged (polar) clutch to work among other issues so I looked into the shockwave and liked its simplicity. After having clutch issues at the division 5 finals in Eddyville last year I looked at our clutch and decided it had to go. Viperizer Racing had just came out with a slightly revised 4 finger clutch (of somebody elses design) that operates on the same principle as the shockwave. Its working well for us and my clutch issues are gone so now we can concentrate on other areas. For the life of me we cannot get our car to run under 9.0? going to make a gear and a jet change for this weekend. I see what everyone else is running and realize that no 2 cars set up the same will run the same but I am all ears. We run a 3x3 BZ, 33mikuni, OD clutch, 5.7 gears, guessing around 425lbs on 8x8 hooziers. 9.34 best time last week?
