Re: New project
Thanks
Thanks working hard on it . Update ; got it out of the chassis shop . I am happy with the work but have some fine tuning to do . It had grinding dust everywhere so i clay bar'd the truck before anything then washed it . The rear window is tinted lexan . I could only use 1 swing out door bar and 8.50 cert so there is one on the driverside . Front glass is scheduled for this afternoon , as i cleaned up the window tracks and painted them . Here are the pics . Have not gotten the cert sticker yet as there are a list of 6 cars in the area that are going to split the travel fees and meet up with the inspector .

Re: New project
Wow they do really really nice work. One question tho (totally unrelated tot he bar) Is that a cable throttle,, at your ET they don't require a toe-hook positive return?

Re: New project
2 day race weekend . 1/4 mile on sat and 1/8th on sunday at Royal purple raceway ( old HRP and 1/4 mile ) . The nationals were last week so the track was really good . Also first passes on 28 true 10.5's . Started out sat with a stumble tore the front off the old demon and change the pump , squirter gaskets and add 2 numbers to the front jets as i wouldnt have time to reopen it before 1st round . the stumble went away with the changes and off to first round . Ended up going 5 rounds and broke out , but a good day . It was hot and my reaction times showed it . Sunday was better . Cooler with some cload cover all day saturday in the 1/4 mile race the truck went 7.05 to 7.08 so i knew what to do . Stuck a 7.04 on it and let it eat . Reaction times were good truck was good then down to 11 cars and the stumble came back . Had 7.03 on it and we went .164 on the light ouch , he spun as he was out first and didnt know i was late . I drove it out and drug the shifts out and ended up a nose over at the strip with a 7.01 . All in all a good weekend . Now 4th in points Division 4

Re: New project
These things have changed my consistancy . One of the local small tire car guys hooked me up with a set of his take offs . 6 passes @3200 and a 706 with 2 kits . Just getting broke in for my truck .
Also had a small oil leak . Not bad enough to be backed out of the start line , but it has been there and i knew about it and it has been bothering me . Passenger side crear corner of the intake at the corner of the head and intake . Tore into it and cleaned everthing up . Gaskets are ordered and will be in tommorow . Swapping to the QFT 750 also . Got a list of about 10 things that i need to update this week . Testing friday night , as we have another 2 day event on the 19th weekend and im their .

Re: New project
HPT truck shootout . Went a few rounds . Made adjustments after every round as the truck is way different with the cage . I was the smallest tire in the event and on a DOT with a street truck . All others were bracket race trucks . 80 % of the trucks there were street trucks with hard tires . I was at a huge disadvantage , but i made a few passes and got a few things lined out . Really have to look to even see the bars in it . Also got interveiwed and pictures taking and might be in street trucks magazine as they were covering the event .

Re: New project
What did they charge for the cert. Here in Az it is like pulling teeth to get the NHRA tech to show up at the track to do certs, then... $280 for his trouble. My Nova's 8.50 cert expired last month, as did the SFI trans case. Man <9.99 is sure a money pit!

Re: New project
Sounds like a job I want, inspecting race cars for tons of cash, I could get used to that. Truck looks awesome, love the videos!

I got 7 passes in last night before the rain . The carb helped out my reactions as my worst was .041 and best being .008 Every pass was inside of those two . I also bought a pair of new tubes and rotated the slicks . It went 1.52 60' on motor which i thought was good . Still got a small oil leak and the only thing i havent touched are the valve covers . They are coming off next week .
