A friend of mine went to our local track (KCIR) in Kansas City for the Friday test and tune and was promptly told that he would not be allowed to use his laptop during his burnout or run as per NHRA rules. As I read the rules, the use of computers are not allowed anymore. The definition of a...

Looking for the HD rocker shaft assembly that turbobuicks use to sell. Anybody have a set (both sides) that they arn't using? Thanks, Ed

I just receintly fired my new motor and noticed a noise that I can't identify. The motor does have Weisco pistons which some people say that is what i'm hearing. It has a slight diesel sound. I know that forged pistons grow more than stock cast pistons when warmed up but this noise does not go...

I am finally rebuilding my motor and need some help in selecting rod and main bearings. I will need to have the crank turned 10-10. My engine guy says that Clevite does not make a .010 under main bearing in an H or V series. Is this true and if so what should I look for in a quality bearing. I...

Julio, Is there something more going on with this alcohol system than we might be aware of? Or at least me. I went to the track today and the weather conditions were almost perfect. The temp. was 50 deg. all day and the humidity was between 50% and 60%. That was 15 deg. colder than last week and...

Julio, It happened just liked we talked. 1.59 60 ft., 7.38 @ 92.59 1/8 th, and 11.641 @ 114.56 in the 1/4. The back up netted a 1.53 60 ft., 7.30 @ 92.29 1/8 th., and 11.69 @ 107.25 after a fuel pump wire gave up at the 1000 ft. mark. That run would probably been some kind of "50". Those were...

I am doing some research on torque converters and talked to Steve at Pat's Performance Converters. He was very informative and helpful. Does anybody have any pros or cons on these converters. These are 10" lock up units that go for around $500. This sounds cheap for what you get or are you...

Hey Julio, Finally got my car back into the 11's with the alchol kit just like you said it would. I went to the track last night full of meth. and put down some good numbers. The runs were as follows: 1.55-7.46 @89.92-11.88@110.55, 1.56-7.47@90.02-11.88@110.68, and 1.53-7.41@90.36-11.81@110.86...

I've got my intake manifild off to powder coat and thought I would do a little port matching. I noticed there is some material inside the port next to the injector hole. It seems to shroud this area. My friends tell me to remove this to help the injector spray pattern. What was the reasoning for...

What is the take on painting the intake manifold. Some people say don't, that it holds in heat and others say it doesn't matter. Some say not black because that holds heat. Some say Jet Hot. I am confused. Does it really matter? Help!

Has anybody ever experienced this situation? While at the track, running 23-24# of boost, I will loose 3 to 4# of boost by the time I reach the finish line. Everythine is fine until I reach about half way through third gear then it starts to drop off. I have had three different turbos (all...
