I realize it will take atleast one magor player, to back some money, but I also think it would be very hard to hurt 10k in parts on a nitrous motor in a weekend. I guess it could happen, but if it did I think the person should rethink racing.
and like I said this is an idea currently there are really no heads available capable of performing at that level
one thing Im trying to say is that its more important to race smart than race money because you can never have enough money! money only helps you go fast it dosent make you go fast Im sure we would both agree on that.
the first thing I need to do is prove what I can do with nitrous in my current setup because I am personally not to happy with the current ET I know a lot of the readers on the forum think its fast, but I believe it is capable of a lot more I hit a bump in the road that is now being solved with the cam issue, (thanks to your help) these things are short term problems, somthing to remember is this combo has only 30 somthing passes on it most of which were during competition which it is harder to tune
also there are only 10 atempted nitrou passes on it this year with the chassis mods in short, last year I brought out a new combo that was not right for the car thus the 1.40 and 1.50 60 foot times we ran it like that to test and gather data for the two events last year then over the winter adjusted the chassis to fit the combo, by moving the weight nad other things and now this year we have already seen 2 60s in the mid 1.20s with the majority being in the low 1.30s
I hurt a piston in bradington that should not have been hurt but I tried to pedle the car for the win to go to the finals. then I hurt a valve in testing but by hurting those two fairly inexpensive parts, I came up with the sorce of the problem and as you know I am hoping you or a few otheres can help with the expertiece to correct it as I feel I have a bandaid on it now
I guess my point is, I took a motor that someone paid in excess of 25k for that could not make it last for more than one race and fixed it. they broke rods melted pistons sleved the block broke rockers and went 8.87 @ 3500 lbs
I dont know everything know one dose, but I do know how to anilize and adapt then take that info to people of knowlage like yourself to get the help I need to correct the problem I think this is far more valuable in racing than deep pockets
I cant do it alone, but with the help of people like You, Butler ,TTS Bop, All pontiac, Spotts , Dude and some others there is a chance
lets see if I can back some of this up at BG next week, this is only the third race and we are currently in fourth if the cam timing did what I believe it did I will be able to find more power at this event to put the car into the 40s for this class then the following week we can take out some weight for the nsca race. remember all the runs this year have been at 3475. I think Dude rex and otheres will vouch for all the weight that is currently bolted into the car. I am looking forward to taking 250+ pounds out!
like I said over the winter 8 teens or 8.0s by the end of the year with the posibility of a high 7
