How will alcohol perform better than race gas? :rolleyes: I know 2 people now who have blown head gaskets from problems with alcohol systems while running 93 octane and high boost. Ask d0n_3d how his motor is running right now. Everyone wants to take the cheap route but you'll pay eventually.

I have run a 7.18 1/8th mile which equates to roughly an 11.3 1/4 mile with my pt52 which is real close to a te-60. A/R is (I believe) the ratio of radius to the internal area on the exaust housing. A .63 is tighter and spools faster, an .84 is a larger housing that offers more top end. Whatever...

1970 SS396 Nova. 375hp 4 speed, steel wheels w/ hubcaps, rubber floor covering (no carpet), all numbers matched. Body started to rust away and i unloaded it.:( Should have found an Arizona/SoCal car and done a complete body swap. Man that car was quick, but REAL hard to keep going in a...

Not really scary, but "FREAKS" filmed im 1932 was extremely controversial in its day as it was filmed using real side show freaks as the actors. tomorrow night on TCM is the Frankenstein marathon. Not considered scary now but some of us older guys who grew up watching Creature Features still get...

I'm running 9.00 x 28 ET Drags. What I do is pre-stage and bring up the rpm's to where i can just hear the turbo start to spool. then i just bump off the brake till im staged, as soon as the light starts down, i mat the thing and stand on the brake till i look like this:mad: Last yellow and ler...

Went to the soggy M8 event at Stanton MI today. Had to run 1/8th mile as the track was still "damp" at the far end. Anyway, I ran a 7.18 @ 96mph what would be a good estimate for 1/4 mile et? Also knocked off a 1.518 60':eek: The stock rear end and axles wont take too much of that.

Get that linkage fixed. You shouldn't even be driving it if you cant put it in gear correctly. How can it be screwed up? It only goes together one way unless its not the factory shifter or some cobbled up mess. Who cares about oil on the driveway if you're driving around with your trans halfway...

JUst a thought.(this happened to me) You didnt by chance forget to install the low/reverse apply ring did you? Its that round, slotted ring that goes into the lo/reverse housing and actually applies the clutches. When I first assembled my trans, reverse worked on the jack stands but once on the...

The case is the same.

AMC Hornet and the full size monstrosity......The AMC Ambassador YUCK! The one i saw in a show actually had a plaid interior.

There were cars there last year running in the 11's with no bar. Now if you were to run a 10.50 someone might say something, but mid-hi 11's i wouldn't sweat. Just my $.02

thanks, makes perfect sense:cool:

OK.. what does A/R mean on a turbo as in .63 a/r or .83a/r? Been messing with this car for nearly three years and i have never learned the meaning!

I installed mine with the car on jack stands although i did have the gas tank out at the time, dont know if it really matters. I also used the clamps only. I have been running it for over two years with no problems.

First of all, this guy is obviously just a troll here to rile you guys up and doing a good job of it I might add! However, on the out side and highly unlikey chance that he's legit, why not come up to Stanton Oct 25 for M8?? Otsego is quite close and you'll have plenty of opportunities to wax...
