With all the talk about Lil Jack and Mike, et al, all winter, I haven't seen any updates on your engine. Is it a stealth effort for Norwalk this year?What's happening??? Or did I miss a post somewhere?

As the saying goes, inquiring minds want to know.

Jim,
Stealth...........that's FUNNY, I like that.......yea, STEALTH.
No STEALTH.........my plan is to come out of the GATE running 7.90's or QUICKER in 80 degree weather and go from there. Making ONE small change to the engine, that's all! I don't talk about it because it's not a big deal. I have a pretty GOOD set up already, you know what they say......if it ain't BROKE don't FIX it! there's a Nostalgia race at Beech Bend i'd like to make I think it's in June 7 & 8, I've been there (Beech Bend) a few times before in the late 70's early 80's.

Now that you got your crank fixed, (the one not in your shorts), you are going to turn up the boost a bit? Sounds like a great plan. So where in the 7s do you want to be?
.80s, 70s?

I had to look at the date on this post...twice...I thought I was transported back to 2008 for a moment.

Hope you make it this year, George.

Actually my Signature has always been CORRECT, I started off running 8.40's and every year since I've been QUICKER! This is the first time I have actually said
I'm coming out running 7's!! UNLIKE some racers who where ONE and DONE-ERS.......... When I do it, I won't be.

I can't see how it's s hard for a 3000 car with High Ports and a blower not to go 7.50s the first season?

You would be a good Run for Leech pound for pound and he has some junk ass E heads N/A.


And I am pretty sure your sig use to say headed for the sevens for like a decade or so!

..........,,,and this is coming from a guy who was changing head gaskets every 25 runs and just spent like over $20,000 in heads and intake to run 7's! LOL!
No Brian had it pretty close 2008 is when I got my engine in with my almost out of the box HP Heads, that's when I wrote my Signature

George,

What did you do with the crank snout--have the old Pontiac-sized snout welded back on or go with a BBC-sized snout?

And, what was your one small change--blower overdrive?

Just curious.

Jim

[GTOGEORGE]

Jim,
I'm in "Stealth" mode! LOL!! I'm sorry I couldn't help myself. I kept the normal Pontiac snout size, mine lasted 10-12 years before it snapped off. If I planned on running more then 20 lbs of boost or drive the blower 30% more or less then I'd go with a support or different crank snout size. The small change is just that a small change.......nothing MAJOR. I still plan on running a boost range of 12-20 lbs of boost.

I would change head gaskets every 5 passes as long as I would be infront of you is all that matters.

[GTOGEORGE]

You probably will! LOL!!!
