Funny story about a loaner car I got once....back in 1989/1990, I had just discharged from the Navy and bought a new Volkswagen Golf. Immediately upon driving off the lot it was apparent something was wrong with the car. I turned around and brought it back to the dealership. They provided me...
I have never done a mile, but I have done standing 1/2 mile events. These events recorded MPH only, not time. I have done it in two cars. First was a bone stock 2012 Caddy CTS-V. That car did 135mph. The other car was a C6 Corvette modified with a cam, headers, centrifugal supercharger and...
I have one of the Noco jump boxes. It jumps my F-250 with a 6.7 diesel no problem. I have probably used it more on stranded motorists than I have on my own cars. I am considering getting another one just to have in my other car.
One of the bolt holes in my block (440) is stripped (one of the long ones in the middle). A couple of questions, can this be helicoiled, what size/pitch helical do I need. And most important, does the bolt hole go all the way through to the crank case, or is there a bottom to the hole? I don't...
I didn't do a 512, but I did do a 493 is my Road Runner, not an A12, but a well done clone. I kept the HP manifolds, and painted the aluminum heads. Externally, the motor looked stock, but it made 600hp!!! This a waaaaay more power than it needed on the street!
Quick update on this thread. Since rebuilding the motor last year and upping the compression to 12.7:1, I upgraded the cam. New specs are .683 intake, .668 exhaust. duration at .050 is 274 intake, 282 exhaust. 108 LSA. However, I ran into an issue with my Edelbrock Victor heads and decided to...
Speaking of dumb questions from the wife:
Prior to hanging the lights on the house for Christmas, I stretched each strand out on the lawn and tested them. All worked. I hung the lights and tested again after they were up. All worked. That night, when we went to look at the lights after it...
New best at Thursday night T&T. DA was 1470.
60' 1.438
330' 4.157
1/8 6.471
mph 105.89
1000 8.491
1/4 10.224
mph 129.53
Only change I made was upping my launch rpm from just off idle to 2500rpm. I don't think that made much difference as I have gone 1.424 60' at a lower launch rpm.
While I don't like the idea of moving away from the Indy 440-25 intake with the dual eddy 750's, will there be a measurable performance gain by switching to a manifold like the Edelbrock Super Victor and single 1000cfm carb? I am trying to maximize the performance of the combo I have.
