Added new trickflow heads, dominator crb. And ported super victor and on the fifth run it blew at the top of 1st. My...

    Missing at cruise. 5

    Just pulled my 340 and set in the new 408. Engine runs well and is stout but I have a random miss at cruise rpm. About 3000. Same carb and distributor as the 340 which didn't do this. Initial is at 24 and 32 total and 50 with vacuum advance hooked up to timed port on carb. If I unhook the VA it...

    Why the hate for HR cams.

    I've been looking at alot of builds using hydraulic roller cams and I am very impressed with the hp and torque with some pretty small roller cams. Seems like most people on here dispise them.

    The price of racing.

    This might be my last year of racing. With prices the way they are its just getting to expensive. Everything to race has went up substantially. Gas prices, tires are up, all engine parts, it's just gotten crazy. Some things have went up more than 50%. Hope it changes in the future. But it isn't...

    200cc port.

    Why is it so easy to make a sbc head with a 200cc intake port. But seams impossible for a sbm. I know they are of different design but it doesn't seem that different.

    NPK

    I have to admit I really enjoy npk racing. Real heads up racing with all different combos and cars. Some good racing and driving. Way more fun than Nhra crap. Not as much drama as street outlaws. Racing is getting very competitive.

    I recently put a nitrous kit on my 340. Its been working well until last week. When I acctivate the microswitch it falls on its face now. Like its out of nitrous. I checked both solenoids they seem to be working fine. Pulled the carb and hit it and the plate seem to be putting out plenty of...

    fuel problem

    Lately my car has had a fuel delivery problem. Its fine for about the first 10 minutes. Runs through the gears just fine shifting at 6500. By 15 minutes or so at about 5000 it falls on its face and then recovers in a couple seconds. I figure this is when the fuel bowls empty and not refilling...

    Parts rant

    I'm sick of part suppliers giving me false shipping dates to get my order. My roller cam. Ships in 4 weeks, its been 8+. Tires. Ships next day, been 3 weeks. Pushrods, 2days, been a week+. Very frustrating. No emails or anything.

    rod bearings

    I'm looking at some King rod bearings. They say they're alecular alloy. Will these hold up in a 10 sec. bracket engine or should I spend the coin on some race type bearings. How do they compare to a Tri-metal bearing. Engine is 10.5 to 1 440 running pump gas.

    Bypass hose

    Why am I blowing bypass hoses. Blown up two in a week. Only thing changed is new belt. Anyone else have this problem. I think belt was slipping before, but this still shouldn't be a problem. Thanks.

    Are all tracks going 1/8 mile.

    My local track is going to 1/8 mile for all cars faster than 11.60. This is the bracket series. I've raced alot more 1/8 than 1/4 but always look forward to running the the 1/4. Now almost all my racing will be 1/8. Bummer. Might run my 5.13s now.

    Nitrous delay

    Recently put a 100 shot on my 340. Works well but has developed a long delay before it activates. At first it was like a 1/2 sec. delay when I mashed it using the wot switch. Now it like a 2 to 3 sec. delay. It still works well just a long delay. Bottle pressure at 950 fuel at 9 . No controller...

    340 nitrous plugs

    I’m going with a 100 shot on my 340. I have SM heads. Can I run a projected tip plug since the plug is recessed so much. Ngk 6 projected or ngk 7 non projected? Nitrous will be used to race only. 80% street 20% track.

    Which rockers?

    I'm getting some 1.6 roller rockers for my 340. The 2 i am looking at are the PRW ss and mancini aluminum made by HS. These will go on a solid cam with about .560 lift with the new rockers. seat pressure is 145 and open 350. Thoughts please. Might step up to a roller later but nothing radical...
