Roo Man's Room / SFI specs

« on: February 27, 2024, 03:48:48 AM »

I've got the 2.4D specs for 6.00 and slower. But not the 2.6C. Is the top shoulder rail (item #3) The same for 6.00 and 7.50? I looked at an older car and it is 1.375".

Took the car out to Piedmont last sunday. Finally it's running right. Nice day, Ran 5.27  then added 20 percent and ended up with a 4.97.  Not to bad for a low dollar 350. Hopefully the weather will clear up for another weekend run sometime this year.

I have a helmet with a fresh air intake on it. I use a small plastic blower just to move some air . It keeps my glasses from fogging up also. I used it at Maxton when we ran at the mile and I also use it at Bonneville.

Spud Miller's Cave / high speed to lean

« on: September 28, 2017, 05:15:06 AM »

I ran the car the other day and it worked great down low but leaned out and nosed over on top. Is there a simple way to keep it lean coming out then richen it up on top. Hilborn stack with only an idle bypass. No high speed.

I thought about bringing my car up but found out this weekend I need an NHRA license. To much money for a one time event for me. Not to mention the 1500 mile round trip costs.
