That’s haulin!!! What was your previous best? Do you attribute the improvement more to the carb or the vacuum pump? Main reason I ask is that I have a vacuum pump waiting for my new motor (will be a looonnnnggg while before it all goes together though).

For the heavy ones (near 100 lbs) on my 3500 I jack it up high enough to be able to roll the jack under the tire with it jacked up a little to get the tire off. Then reverse to put it back…roll the tire onto the jack and jack it up back into place. I roll the lugs into place relative to where...

If it’s going to be a bracket car I’d recommend having the converter adjusted as I’d imagine the new setup is quite a bit a different. But, I also don’t know how soon you might end up putting the heads or putting spray on it as that’ll necessitate yet another re-flash. Just my $1/50.

Hell of a race!!!

Not out of it by much? I’m seeing 6.051 for completion…I may have mathed it wrong, or maybe it was picking up past the half track?

It went pretty fast with the exhaust, so there's not much I can say really other than I think it went to more finals without the exhaust than with it...it's just data available from the thread. Another piece of data available in the thread is that you've lost at least one final while making a...

What was in the other lane? Pretty close matchup. Also, what kind of sammich did you make;)

Nice job, lotta work gettin it back to the track! My best to you guys today!!!

Note to self, pull exhaust to make it to the finals:thankyou: Nice job!!!

Echoing the sentiment, thank you for doing this!!!

Gonna scoot either way!!! Also, I love tacos!!!

Sweet! I think I saw on a previous post that you’re pulling the rear seat too? Thinking you’ll be down 70-100 lbs without seat and exhaust, and seemingly up a little on power!!! My best to you and Fred on beating the rest of the world!

Love the 1-2 with the wheels in the air!!!

Another consideration would be to run the front motor plate from AR Engineering, available through Mancini. I saw on here a neat idea to restrain the fore/aft movement with heims or turnbuckles coming off the rear transmission tabs to the crossmember. Not sure which method is cheaper or easier...

Here's a link to the new thread by @Earlie A for other's who may stumble into this current thread: CNC Mill Mark Removal in Intake Port

Would going to a 2.08 valve help? I think it would only bring the throat to about 90%, which sounds too big still...otherwise it sounds like SM just has a program to hog out the ports for show, not go. Sounds like money would be better spent (at least on SM heads, and in search of higher end...

What are your thoughts on going smoother (like 120 grit or more) to see if there’s any noticeable effect on flow numbers…fuel mixing concerns aside. My thinking is along the lines of a high revving stroker, where the velocity is actually there to induce mixing vs chuffing around on the streets...

Wow, you work fast!!! Interesting to see first pass with a really rough grit; essentially the same as the “washboard” (that term fits perfectly) finish. Is the test with the valve job as shipped from SM? Many, many, thanks for doing this!!!

Holy crap!!! That is sssooooo awesome!!!! You’re amazing :thumbsup:

Genuine question, not posing as argumentative or anything negative-have you (or anyone else on here) tested different finishes? The follow up, and actual nature of my question is specific to the ribbed CNC finish vs a smoothed surface. Have you ever done before and after of flowing a CNC...

Fast forward to 11:30 for final: Nice work!

Love the smoothed gas cap!

Uggh, sorry man. What’s the weather like? Seems close-ish to what you posted back in May?

Happy to swing by on the weekends to put some miles on it for ya while I wait for mine to come back together…at least until you get it sold. Or maybe watching someone else drive it and bring it back with a **** eating grin on his face will rekindle the flame for you:steering:

Way less Flintstone-y!!!

Looking good!!!

Great lights, and great consistency! Keep it up!!!

“What I Learned Today” With Jeff Smith — Cold Lash Vs. Hot Lash

I’m thinking you actually do have some belt slip going on. The heat is a tell tale, and it running cooler unplugged (no load) kinda supports that theory because there’s virtually no resistance, so the belt stops slipping and is just along for the ride. See what you can do to tighten it up more...

Gimme some fries with that shake :lol:
