RX3 drag car

havent been here in a while, thought I would post a few pictures of our RX3 for 2008. Its all fiberglass body, tube chassis, Atkins 13B with a Camden supercharger on gas. I have been trying the Jerico 4 speed, but keep breaking them. We are going to try a G-force 5 speed to start the year off and see how that does. Any recommendations on trannys from you guys?

Thumbs up Any pictures of under the hood

What kind of numbers is she putting down? Carburated or Fuel Injected. Sounds like a pretty cool project. The Camden Supercharger has always fascinated me, but never put any effort in pursuing it. I know Able Ibarra had one of these units in his RX2 many years back, but I have not heard any updates about that project in a really long time.

Thanks
Albert

sorry i cant reply to your messages, i have to have so many posts before i can. so here goes. it has a holley 780 now on gas, i am building a rons flying toilet alcohol system for it when i get dialed in. I have not got a full pass yet because of transmmision issues> ordering a G-Force 5 speed to hopefully cure this problem.
I have several pictures of motor and car, but was unable to post them. if you want to see more e-mail me at bnzimears@aol.com and i will send them to you.

thanks,
andy Mears

Before you knock the stock dizzy ignition, this is an old pic, he is updating the ignition.
