It's even more impressive that the 6.43 pass was with a stock long block and V6 tires and wheels.
Too bad they don't make those SZFQ-Trim Vortechs any more.

Yea. The 6'er wheels and tires are better, less rotational mass. I coulda gone faster, but my smog pump was running a little lean.JChalfan said:It's even more impressive that the 6.43 pass was with a stock long block and V6 tires and wheels.

In all seriousness, I bought some Valvoline synthetic grease a while back that would drip liquid out of the zerk joints. It's like the moisture would separate out of it and it would drip. Weird. Never bought it again.

Some people swear by synthetic everything, but I'm usually not a fan. Regular grease will work just fine for me too. I've had the same tub of it in my garage for 10 years now.

Dude, your wrong. You wouldn't know if its possible or not, I've done it and you haven't...savegoodautonfg said:
I'm gonna try and break 5's soon, hopefully trapping 270+...
I just need to get a tank for my propane injection, I had to give my old tank back to my dad... He got tired of no barbeque
Another thing, I should pick up 70 or 80 horsepower as soon as my tornado intake swirler comes in...
Dude, you'd be amazed at how many 5-6 second cars there are out on the street...savegoodautonfg said:
If I told you exactly how I make my power, everyone would... I'll tell you this, its an E5 headed 95' Cobra motor. I put the E5s on in favor of GT40s because with 30+ psi of boost, you want all the intake restriction you can get to keep the intake charge from traveling through too fast and not igniting. Its a common problem at 9,000 + rpm...
Powerband is low, I know, I'm running out of fuel up top. I go lean from 9500 rpm on up. My little 850 lb injectors can't take it, I'm building my own set of custom injectors. Using a garden hose nozzle, a marble, and some cryogenically treated teflon tape.Fett said:
How do you do it?

No, sorry Fett, CNP leaves a residual sludge after too much use, I've heard from the top-fuel dragster crowd that an entire gallon of C.L.R. works even better than CNP, because it reduces the fuel temperature by 45 degrees, gives you 88hp, AND is so reactive, that once the exhaust fumes exit the engine into the exhaust system, it mixes with the Nitrogen in the air and leaves a byproduct of chromic anhydride (the basis of hexavalent chrome plating) nitride on the inside of the exhaust piping, leaving a clean, shiny tailpipe, every time you start the car.
QUIKSVT- I hear you also have the prototype Adamantium injected polychromolycarbonite camshaft made by Cams-on-Crack Racing, how did that turn out for you?? I was glad when I heard you got the lobes coated with carbonite- good choice!
savegoodautonfg- If you're looking for a little (or, a LOT) more traction (this also from top-fuel dragsters that run low 4 second quarter miles) I suggest you add half a gallon, maybe even 3 quarts of Detramol or Genalite IIIR traction fluids (or even a 3:1 combination for the track) in each rear tire. This was just released on the market not even 3 weeks ago. It's a semi-fluid, with an astounding consistency of a (no joke) McDonald's milkshake. When you accelerate, even slowly, the centrifugal forces bring the traction fluid to the circumference of the tire, stirs up the microfibers and electrons, which creates the desired addition of rotational electro-kinetic force. The weight of the fluid creates a higher rate of torque on the tire pressing down on the pavement, resulting in exponentially increasing acceleration, derived from 34psi of 977 forced induction horsepower. However its best chemical properties is the way it softens up the tread of the tire, from the inside, and lets it dig into the small crevaces of the concrete. QUICKSVT had to stop using it, because the engine made his pushrods and lifters look like the 4th of July, and I believe blended the Titanium and Digestium coated internals of his Viper-spec T56 into a bowl of rare-earth metal flavored oatmeal.
