For anyone curious what happened. 5 lifters and push rods are totally gone. Pieces of scrap are lifters, chaos went down inside of this engine. Lol

Everything below the intake is junked! That's okay though we will be back out Saturday even stronger, I appreciate the help men!

For sure, looking for that racers edge! Lol. We were expecting it to go soon with the issues we are having. It let us know it was about to go with a he'll of a rackett. There's water throughout the...

Oh well, that's a part of racing and the reason they make backup engines.

Engine ran decently for about 6 laps in the heat race, still smoked until lap 7, then we put on a real smoke show. She gone. Lol

Number 2, 6 and 7 were broken down the base, split towards the hex. We believe having them set at .22 had too much play and wiggled loose and ended up breaking from wearing themselves out. Studs were...

Upon further inspection today we found 3 broken poly locks in our roller rockers! We are going to replace them all in the morning, and readjust the lifters to .18 all the way around. Between the...

T,he plugs were definitely black but I have see worse plugs. The only oddball is we've ran this same engine rebuilt every year from the same guy, this off season we didn't rebuild. It ran great when...

I will continue to post what we try and if it affects the car and may hopefully help myself and someone else's. All of your guys suggestions will be looked into.

The car starts instantly and...

We have tried 72 to 84 jets with no difference, we don't run an MSD box. That carb was rebuilt and had 5 laps on it, from a professional with carburetors.

I checked the plugs, they were a little...

The coil is the very first thing we changed. We didn't pull the plugs after any sessions so I can't say for sure at the moment. We ran this same engine last year with no problems, it was stored...

I have 2 videos I will share at the end of this but we are looking for last ditch efforts. I have posted here before about shocks and received a ton of help, which I am hoping to find again.

The...

The R&D sessions are much appreciated Dave and everyone else to chimed in. We were rained out yesterday but another week to get the car perfect never hurt anyone.

I think as per UMP/AARA rules they both have to be matching. Those heights should be the same, the lowers are totally level, but I can check them. I-55 is a very, very smooth track every night and...

I don't know if I ever mentioned it or not but that car is not metric. I've heard the 900 is a little soft of the bigger, non metric car?

No brakes, car rotates in on its own or with a little steering left. We had a huge debate over open or closed sails, we have 2 sets made to try both open and closed to see the effects on the car.

Only picture I have before the wheel broke.

In the main, the rr wheel adapter bolts broke and the rr went flying off of the car down the front stretch so it was hard to get and accurate readings on the shocks. But in the heat race, there was...

Well we tested out our setup Saturday night. The right front buried its self into the track with a 900 spring and a 5/5 shock in the heat race. The rubber piece that tells you how far the shock has...

This car has 56% rear, 54.1 left, 50 cross and 125 lbs of bite.

Since no one seems to think my shocks will work right with my car, I was suggested a different route. We have put 4 pro shocks on the car. 2 WB 94 on the rear, 9 inch stroke, 4/4 rates. And two WB 75...

In my opinion the right front may be too soft? Not enough rebound to get the car back up off the ground for the corner exit having a solid centerlink. Would that be a good assumption?

Looking for some opinions for this shock setup. I am gonna try something different this year in our sportsman after I got a hold of a nice set of integra shocks. We are a 3,000 pound 3 link car with...

RF spring is a 1600 for that exact reason, to stop it from rolling.
