Default McCarty Racing RAV in Hot Rod Magazine

Congrats to Lynn and company for their article in the July issue of Hot Rod called "Chief Stomp 'Em" documenting the success of their 1220 hp NA RAV engine. Well done folks!

Congrats to JC and Lynn and Lynn's brother (as well as all of the guys at BES) for the great effort.

ps Kevin Bird's M3 is also in the issue. Kevin is featured on the 2 guys garage show.
If you are into fabrication skills, some of the stuff he did could easily be applied to a F-Body type vehicle.

Very good article- I suspect Don Keefe was instrumental.

So many cool things are yet to come.

Casey(Lynn`s oldest son) was edited out of this article, but he is an integral part of the program not to mention a very good driver. He finally got his degree in mechanical engineering from Purdue University graduating last weekend, while working the last 3 years on many new items for McCarty Racing. They are having a blast. Casey came up with one thing on RAV development that blew our minds! I cant wait to test it.

Lynn does most of the consulting, but on clean coal technology, environmental discharge, cooling water, and boiler efficiency. He has two patentable items going there as well. He will be making presentations on them this summer. I just sit back, eat popcorn and watch the show. Especially when RAVs fire up.

The coolest project I have seen is the unported RAV stock block engine going after a sub 9 second run. Shouldnt be too hard to do. Going in this car:

Anyone know how to get in touch with Lynn McCarty?

PM me please.

We cant get any response though the channels that worked when he was soliciting money for these products.

Myself and another NC Pontiac racer / person have close to $10,000 in this project, and from where we stand: we feel the agreement in place has been breeched.

No communication, or response to our side.

Thanks......Jeff

Jeff,

Lynn ran into Tommy at Norwalk last year and he said nothing. He also has sent several emails to you with no response from you. His phone number, email, and website are clearly available as anyone can easily see. He gets and personally talks with several Pontiac guys daily. He is anxiously awaiting your call. You can call 317.260.3486, go to ramairv.com, email [email protected].

Distributors made a deposit on cylinder heads and must make purchases with substantial discounts to recover their investment. Otherwise, I am sure if you call, he will work something out. BTW your total investment was less than 1/2 what you have stated. Your distributorship requires puchase and sales of the products and services like any other distributor agreements. Most are null and void with lack of.purchase.

BTW,

They are dynoing again on Tuesday June 3rd. IT all depends on how badly those headers were affecting peak power. Exhaust blow down was verified by results and simulations as the primary suspect. Some say it should make 8500 RPM. I know where there was at least 30HP, but I am just in the first row eating popcorn and watching the show. ;-)
