The updated horsepower was 530 rear wheel with 565 rear torque. The numbers and 1/4 mile times were with the old non-stroked engine. The new 1/4 time was 10.926 @ 130 mph but they already had the article done when I faxed them the times. If Brett would have gone to the same show I was at...

OK, so it's a shameless plug for my car's article but Brett is mentioned as the motivating force. Now I'm waiting to see if I get mentioned in his Mopar Muscle article. Here's the link. http://www.network54.com/Forum/message?forumid=74182&messageid=1103299588

Impressed yes, scared no. I've got to say his combo is very fuel sensitive. 100 horse from start to finish on jetting and slight timing change. I did pull 529.8 rear wheel horse and 568.01 rear torque so we are probably closer than we ever have been. Isn't compettition great! I wish we...

Let's not panic here yet. The only changes I made were: Changed to a clutch fan from flex fan. Changed to synthetic oil. Found a bad rocker that was not openning one intake valve. (could that make a difference?) Also we left a little over 3000 rpm which is to my advantage with my cam...

When was the last time you got your heart leaping other than driving your cars?

David Kee who specializes in Ford Toploaders (sorry) runs a hydralic TO bearing in his drag car. He actually hooked up something similar to a line lock solenoid. He depresses the pedal, pushes a button that holds the pressure keeping the clutch engaged. When the lights turns he lets off the...

I wonder how many of you can find at least one difference in the two pictures on this link? http://members.home.nl/saen/Special/Zoeken.swf

If only someone had suggested getting extra push rods.......Oh yeah, that was me. If it's going to go bad, it will happen to Brett on a Friday night when he can't get overnight parts. This sucks, Brett. It's a good thing I lined up the Dyno for us a week from next Tuesday. Have them send...

:lol:

On the plus side 1. Your car will be faster and not ping 2. You will be able to brag about the parts forever 3. 100 horse for 4,000 minus old parts sold is a bargain 4. You just won 2600 in a law suit you could have lost 5. If you're not moving forward you're standing still 6. The only...

:shock: I'm not sure he could handle your car as a passenger! It's nice to know the third member held up this time but I'm sure you would have rather been the one testing. You need to be a real selective on who you let drive a 10 second car. Your insurance agent probably would be...

Brett and I have been best of friends even through a stiff Mopar vs Ford rivalry that was as tough as they come. When Brett couldn't meet with the paint rep the least I could do is go in his place and record it for him. Having a third party they chose say on tape that it was a problem with...

Any word on the body shop ordeal? I've been so busy with Cameron in Little League I haven't been able to keep up. Barely enough time to finish the car. I figured we could hit the Gibbs show if nothing else. Nice to hear from you, Brett.

I spent some time and re-detailed the engine in the mach. Carefull when opening the link. If you're computer is Mopar only it may cause problems. http://www.network54.com/Forum/thread?forumid=74182&messageid=1089644100

A local town brings in a chassis dyno every year for a dyno contest. I was last to run and hit 472 rear wheel hp 471 rear wheel torque to win highest HP by street car and highest torque by street car. It was 85 degrees with high humidity so I felt pretty good about it. For the fun of it I...

He was on his way to pulling his center section to check the damage. He should have it fixed by Sunday. I bought a car from him today.

These gears weren't raced as far as I know and definately not raced with the 4 speed. I still think this is more of a wheel hop problem as Brett has zero traction on the street and violent wheel hop. I think pinion angle may also be a problem. I'm sure we'll get it straightened out.

:lol: Just make sure you order the street gears. Some race gears are not made to handle the heat generated on sustained street use and can become brittle. It will be interesting to see just what broke inside the carrier. It may not have been the gears. Since you basically have no...
