    1/4 mile estimate from 1/8 ET

    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.

    DO NOT CALL law overturned

    An Oklahoma federal judge ruled today that the FTC had overstepped its bounds by enacting the do not call list law. So now the Oct 1 start date has been postponed. For how long? Who knows. I guess the fact that 60 million people signed up for it has no bearing. Federal judges know what's best...

    Bad fuel pressure regulator

    Went to the strip today and on the return road I noticed the FP was 50lbs, instead of 42-43 with the vac line on. When i tried to adjust it down it wouldnt change no matter how far i backed the adjustment off. I managed to get it home but the fp was jumping around between 40-50 lbs the whole...

    Converter efficiency question

    We all know there is a certain amount of inefficency in a non-locked torque converter, but does the amount of torque the engine makes affect how much? Is the slip always the same at all rpm and power levels? Can a converter exhibit 90% efficiency in a 300 hp motor, and 95% in a 600 hp motor...

    DS install ......not too hard at all

    Installed DS this morning in about 1.5 hrs total. That ribbon cable is really touchy, I made a styrofoam spacer as suggested by BobbyBuick, to prevent the cable from shoving on too far. This is really a good tip and i think its essential! The spacer sits between the chip socket and the end of...

    Low impedence injectors?

    Read on Conleys website, that low imp injectors #55 & up have been run with a stock ECM, as long as the fuse for the injectors is upgraded to 20 amps. Whats the downside? does this really work or is it a hack that will burn up the ecm? Just curious. Thanks
