Took the old hot rod out for our final 5.99 race this past weekend. I knew it would be too quick because the weather was just right. First pass, it went 5.77, so had to do a little tuning. We changed the top pulley to increase the underdrive to 15%, lowered the leave rpm 400, lowered the shift 200, backed the throttle stop out 3 turns, unhooked the secondaries on the front carb, drained the float bowl, wired the butterflies shut, & removed the fuel line altogether. By the time we finished, it went 6.000, good enough for #1 qualifier. Unfortunately, my worst light of the day(.023) cost me the first round.  |

Justus suggested I post my results on here. I have just won the Australian V8 superboat championships (www.v8superboats.com.au) in the restricted 350 chev class. I have run e85 all season with a carbie Justus built for me. I was the first and still the only one to run my boat on e85 but a few of the more knoledgable guys have noticed how strong my engine is running and started asking me about e85. It is difficult to get a direct comparison due to the nature of our racing but based on my datalog's my boat was about 1.5seconds faster on a 40sec track direction than on unleaded. The engine also runs much smoother and seems to have more torque for pulling through corners. Cheers Daniel Congrats anything that needs more bottom end benifits from a ethanol tune up... The barby is on me if ya pass my way! |

Took the old hotrod out for a match race this past week. I leaned on it just a little(making 5 pounds of boost) & it ran good enough for the win. 5.59 @ 124.78MPH.  |

Adam, This thing already has mufflers with collector headers on it. By the way---it's street legal except for the slicks & I have driven it on the street before.  |

We were at Cadott WI. on saturday
didnt win anything but got her out on a new set of tires
nose cam
GoPro on the cowl
video of the run
sorry about the audio on that one
really have to rework the microphone on the DV cam way to sensitive
and something i learned
my LM-2 would not see the SD card to log anything after it had been sitting around in the heat all morning
so i didnt get any AFR again ugggg
i may just tape a netbook in there so i know something will log
