To open exhaust outlets to the atmosphere (when rules permit) use standard exhaust cutout (bypass mufflers and tail pipes).

To reduce rolling resistance better suspension control can be achieved by using additional spring clips to tie the ends of each leaf to the rest of the spring.

During fast Starts air pressure in front tires may be increased. The best rear-wheel traction on most surfaces is delivered by tires of high butyl content.

For consistent peak performance, valve lash, spark plugs and timing should be checked frequently.
The highest octane fuel (102 or higher) must be used.
Front-end alignment should be set correctly. Brake shoes can be adjusted to eliminate any possible drag.
If desirable, automatic brake adjusters can be removed and brakes adjusted manually.

The standard Champion J9Y spark plugs should be set at .025" electrode gap.

Valve spring heights set to proper specifications-Min. 1.83", Max. 1.86".

The pinion bumper should contact floor pan when car is at its ready-to-run height.

Cool air can be routed to the carbureters by whatever means the rules will allow. When weather permits, a smaller fan can be installed to ease the load on the engine.

Experiment with tire size, compound and pressure, as well as with sharp starting techniques, to help achieve top performance.

Note:
To protect the fine working parts of the Ramcharger 426, it should not be run over
6500 r.p.m. Furthermore, wide-open throttle bursts should be limited to fifteen
seconds' duration.
