Major hemi-itis milestone!!

Well,my new SV1 prosystems carbs arrived today!!I have saved up for a pair of carbs over 10 times and something ALWAYS comes up..The blower is at Gary Fontanna to be freshened up and put back on the engine.Then I can get on the engine dyno to find my 2 tune-ups.8 lbs for pump gas and 13-15 lbs of boost with c16.Then I can order up a new converter.Then put the engine back in the car.After that,I need a new helmut,jacket,pants,shoes and,,,,,,,,,,a window net and get my comp licence:occasion14::icon_cheers::happy1::upside down::wav::icon_weed::thumbsup::pimp_daddy::pixie: :th_krazy::os_dancing2::tread_on _me.gif:

Man you sure know how to make a guy jealous!!!!

I can see that motor is blocking your shop, so I'll be a good guy and get that out of your way for ya.

Actually,it's the centerpiece of the garage:bootyshake:This was a rough season for me having to park the car untill next year:eusa_boohoo:But I have been chipping away at the needed upgrades to acheive my goals.Maybe another 4 grand $$ and I will be ready:icon_hang:

Wow... that's one I've not seen before. Instead of gas porting a piston, that one seems to be gas vented. One large opening to allow huge amounts of compression to get behind the rings and seal them. Smart man! :::: ducking to avoid the crankshaft tossed at my head:::::

You can imagine my surprise when I took the engine apart for a quick freshen up and found THAT!!:icon_hang:So a new oversize set of Diamond pistons now fill the holes.Also had to get a new crank,used the money saved for carbs:icon_hang:So all I can do is keep chippin' away.I should be ready when the snow melts to get my NHRA licence and start chasin' my 8 second pass:icon_axe:

You may want to spend a few $$$ on the chassis Al. Super stock leaf springs get down right scary after about 9.80...It's ladder bar or four-link time if you think it will run that quick.

I have spoken to some that run the 8:50 class with cal trac mono's and rancho shocks.I don't plan on going that fast with this car,but I will test the outer limits of split mono leaf rear springs.

My new 'tators:tongue8:

sweet cheeba!! that's one helluva motor...can't wait to hear what it sounds like...

Hope both of you are running trans brakes with those carbs. They must have a lot of engine RPM at the launch. They will not leave clean footbraking against the converter at 2000-2500. The only cars I have seen them work well on are Top Sportsman dragsters or very light (2200#) tube chassis door cars. They do make a stepped down version for more of a show thing but the performance suffers. A nice set of HP 950's (4150 base) would more than likely have been a better choice for that combo.

Poppaj,What cars have you seen with SV1's that you base your opinion?

You can't go wrong with the Pro Systems carbs, they are the best in my view.
I had one of the 950s and had a problem with it after a few years. I emailed them on Sunday and got an answer back the same day.
Good people and great carbs.
Your going to love them...nice looking build thanks for the pics
AL

WOW! Those are some wild carbs!! Which makes me wonder why not just shove the fuel line in the intake and call it done!

OK, in all seriousness, since they are going on top of a blower there may be no issues. On one hand a blower is a compressor but on the other it's a vacuum pump. That lung might be what the doctor ordered!

Poppaj,What cars have you seen with SV1's that you base your opinion?


I have some good freinds that live near us that run that run them on their Quick 16 cars (husband and wife team) She has a dragster, he has a ex-pro stock neon. Both of them run preditor headed 655's. They have tried footbraking and low rpm transbrake starts to slow the dragster down to run S/P. They would not leave clean unless they left hard off the trans brake.

Al,

If you haven't already bought the Cal Tracs I would go with ladder Bars. Were running 9.70-9.80 with Cal Tracs and they work ok but I think the car would be a lot more consistant with the ladder bars on it.

Just my opinion.

Thanks Kev & poppaj,the split mono's and bar has been in the car for a few years.Maybe someday go to a 4 bar but for now the cal system is workin' good for my street drivenn junk.I am more of an exibitionist,,,,,,,,wanna see???

swwwweeeeet!!

Hey Al. all the best. You must be besides your self with those beauties.
Those carbs should be permanently hung at the Museum of Modern Art.

HEMI ITIS, you ser have some BAD A$$ toys. the Pro System carbs will work great after you get the bugs worked out on them. a freind of mine runs them on his top sportsman car.

hell of a car you got there! NICE!

:poke::dink::pimp4:some day i want to be just like you hemi-itis.
you know i'm working on it also.

we will see. i already made my reservations.which car do you want me to bring this time.:3some:

Holy Shit those are some sweet cars/engines! 8 sec. passes,I love speed but I would probably shit my pants the 1st time I hit 8's in a car! Hope 2 see u boys and your badass rides do it!

Uh oh ...... Grudge matches !!!

beaver springs and the cc event in PA

beaver springs and the cc event in PA

Casey


how many CC events did you race in last year?
I'll definitely be at Bewaver Springs this year. reservations already made.
so which car do you want to lose to this year? :icon_scratch::violent-smiley-100:

I will not participate in all this grudge race BS. If you want to race NSS bring a legal car and race with the rest of us. I don't know if we will be at Beaver Springs or not. Last year the NMCA Milan Dragway race was the same weekend. We always go to the Pittsburgh race (Curt George Memorial) out of respect for our good friend Bob George. It is a very special race that many racers attend every year. This year there were 40+ cars in nostalgia Super Stock.

we raced 2 or 3 of them. we were broke the others.... 2 years ago we raced all of them

you just said a few weeks ago you'll be going to Beaver Springs, what happened NOW???
I have 3 legal NSS cars. We all know that.
Come on out and lets air them out. Your pick of which car to bring.

CaseyWhat was" broke" ,,,,,the car,,,,,,,,,,,,,or your wallet:eusa_boohoo:

might have to dip into the Ballantine fund/Schlitz fund :beerchug::drowning::soda1:

Whatever guys. If you want to come and race some of the larger events do it don't talk about it. We will be at all the CC events, NMCA events inside of 800 miles. NSS Summer Nats and the Monster Mopar race, Buckeye Stock/Super Stock combo's and a new series that will be announced soon.

I'm Good. I'll stick to NJ,NY, racing.
I've been to your neck of the woods before and really not impressed.
Maybe it's your turn to do a little traveling for once in your life.:cya:

This picture was the staging lanes at St. Louis over 80 legal NSS cars, 750 mile trip one way for us but well worth it for a race of this caliber.

And how did that race turn out for you???If you have never been to the York reunion/Chrysler Carlisle/Beaver springs weekend,except for the pictures I post you don't have a CLUE what your missing.We will be there along with rest of the misfits,so come on over!!We can use the flagman so you don't have to WORRY about REDEYES:bootyshake:

never happen, your beating a dead horse.
they won't be in their comfort zone.

You two make me laugh...

Go ahead and stick your NY, NJ racing... Only one good series around those parts and you dont even race them. 422 All-Stars

We will be in PA at some point this year. I hope to be in Beaver Springs, never been there. Did either of you go there last year?? didnt think so...

Oh and Hemi-itis... addressing your rude comment... How much did you race this year? boss wouldnt lend you the tow truck to take the car out? or didnt have the coin to get the motor out? Just wondering... think before you talk.

yep didnt go to beaver springs because of just one good reason,got this that weekend!
and you stick to a failing bankrupt CC event schedule.
How is the influx of Somolians doing in Reynoldsberg,Ohio these days?:puke:

Alright... so your in the same boat. We had another race to make. One good reason. CC events isnt the only series we run.. even if they did file bankruptcy, the races are still a lot of fun. Has nothing to do with anything... We run the Buckeye SS races, NMCA, Monster, Mopar Nats, maybe even the Beaver! And like Joe said there is a new Chrysler series this year that we will check out. Not worried about the CC events.. but thank you for your concern.

Kind of offending don't you think? Has nothing to do with anything and yet you still have no idea what you are talking about...

what happened to the indy 588 motor?
did it go :violent4::oops::tool:

It broke a rod at 1000' mark, minimal damage believe it or not everything stayed in the pan.

would that be minimal damage beyond repair,.
with everything in the pan.:thatswck::BangHead::head_smack:

#4 rod broke a 1/3 up the beam did not spin the bearing, beat the inside of the block up a tad, crank saved as well as heads and pistons. It is now in a dragster. I will stick with the Kieth Black alloy blocks from here on out.
