Sounds promising:D Drew a fair bit of attention, and should do well at the next meet:D

hopefully, as someone said to me the other day, it will be something stupid that ends the day, while getting to hot isn't that un normal a thing on a new car that requires sorting and teething probs resolved, a brand new pivot starter button packing it in was, well, damm anoying..

oh well, thats racing..

As I said Denver , 430 but didn't seem like it. He got to 6500 so it must have been putting 430 down.

The cars in front had less than that and Harkins has 480 at all 4 and didn't do all that well either.

Just shows people who claim that hp is everything that they are not necessarily right. Am not having a go at you but just pointing out to the drag heroes that hp does not necessarilly win races.

    • I refer you to this thread on PF, by someone who knows what he's doing. Paints a good picture of the humble AD09.
    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
