    2008 Car Club Drag Racing Schedule

    Are you saying a car that came from the factory with a supercharger like a SC T-bird, Term mustang, ect. that has but an upgraded supercharger on it (I would assume the same would go for factory turbo cars that have upgraded the turbos) need to wear jackets too?

    2008 Car Club Drag Racing Schedule

    I heard through the grapevine that they (NHRA) were going to start requiring SFI approved jackets for drivers of all cars with non-factory power adders, independent of how fast they are. So for example a 15 sec nitrous injected Honda driver would have to wear a fire jacket. Can anyone...

    NASA American Iron racing in the NW

    Wow, that would be great. I don’t think I have the cash to put a car together, but I would be in the stands and might be willing to crew if needed. Are they thinking just AI, or CMC and AIX as well?

    road racing guys i got a question

    Buy from companies that have real engineers, trust me; I have learned the hard way. There is a lot of junk in the aftermarket that will make your car handle worse than stock. If you can’t afford Griggs, buy Maximum Motorsports.

    I have only had one cam ever ground by Delta Camshaft so my sample size was basically nil, but I was not too impressed. First they had to grind it twice, and even when they did claim to get it right, it didn’t degree in very well at all. It needed to be advanced 5 degrees, was low on lift, and...

    Thinking about converting to a factory roller cam setup? Think again.

    From everything i have seen in my life, link bar roller lifters and STD base circle cam (of properly matched material/process) are the way to go when doing this conversion. It may cost a few pennies more, but it is much easyer to put together and when you are done you are not stuck with a flexy...

    Budget? Low 12’s NA, or with a power adder? If you are going to use this engine for a base, you first need to do a tear down and inspect. The main goal of the teardown is to see if you can re-ring and re-bearing it. If you have to end up having to do a fair amount of machine work to the...

    t5 - 4cyl - 3rd gear - 2 peaces

    FYI many of the 4cly T-5’s are world class, but correct they do have a lower rating… I hurt my V8 T-5 in my LX with a basically stock eng, and 3 gear isn’t doing so well in my 94 cobra right now and that car has no impressive modifications to note either…

    how to pass emissions???

    Well there are a couple of ways to use the hot wrench, but what I am talking about here is you heat the female end and keep the male end relatively cool so the female end expands and makes it easier to undo the joint. Buying a $20 propane torch from the local hardware store will suffice...

    how to pass emissions???

    the hot wrench use a torch to heat around the pipe and o2 bung, NOT the sensor!. Use thermal expansion as your friend... o-yeah, when ever you put something theaded in the exaust system, but lots of anti sieze on it

    crash test cars = outcome ???

    Someone give that man a prize! Different OEM’s handle it a little different but this is the basic layout: After the test, deconstruction, and the document are written, it gets scrapped. Design engineers sometimes request their parts removed from the vehicle for a closer personal...

    SUGGESTONS ON A TURBO CAM

    My first hand experience is I just haven’t been impressed with the actual results of the car’s that had them. If I had a dollar for ever mid 14 second car I have seen with an E cam in it I would have a lot of money. I not saying all cars with letter cams are slow, it just seemed like every...

    SUGGESTONS ON A TURBO CAM

    I am going to give what waterpog and EJ said another :nice: , with one amendment: If your stock bolts are worn out (stretch out too much for the given torque) they need to be replaced with at least stock replacements (but then it becomes a game of cost of refurbing stock rods vs buying $200...
