I know its a little off topic but have to agree with the marvel mystery oil in E85. Been running E85 for over ten years and the marvels is a good additive to use.
-
Maybe a dumb question but are you getting a heat cycle or two on the tire before running a feature on them? We always try to put a couple hot lap sessions or heat races on a right rear before...

You may want to do some more research before trying E85 my experience is anything over around 13:1 is getting close to detonation issues.

I have added E98 before to bring up the ethanol content as well. I typically use around 12-14 gallons in a race night on a pretty fast and heavy 3/8 track. I would typically use over 20 gallons of...

Also curious on the weight of them compared to OEM.
-
I've been using it for 10 seasons now and have been very happy with it. Cost was the reason I started using it as well and tho it's gone up in price a lot around here it's still the most economical...

Tracks can vary greatly even when called a 3/8. I race on a couple of pretty fast 3/8 tracks and usually run a 5.29 or 5.43 and turn 7-7400 rpm. not sure how much help that is but if you post the...

Don't be afraid of it. It's a very simple transmission to tear apart and replace clutches. A little common sense and it all goes well.

Check out Lightningchassis.com. They have the best info for swing arm setups that I could find when I was messing around with them a few years ago. The owner is on here from time to time answering...

I haven't paid attentions to cross in years. Just set the bite and don't even pay attention to cross.
-
Are guys running the same carb as they were on open motors or are they buying a crate specific carb? I've seen crate carbs selling for as much as $2,100. That would greatly add to the cost of...

I've been using silicone spray lube. It dries and leaves a decent film that wont let dust and dirt stick to it.
-
I've been running around 30lbs of bite. Shocks have been LF 4 RF 4-6 RR 4 or 3-5 and LR 7-3 the LR gas pressure is whatever a stock QA1 26 series has from the factory. Springs are LF 575 RF 600 LR...
-
I've been running between 3.5" and 4.5" inches of rake in the j bar. I haven't gone any more than that due to past experience with too much rake making the car very tight on entry.
-
I purchased a different car and have raced it about ten nights now it's always competitive if there is any moisture in the track but once it goes slick it feels like the RR is always skating across...

I love my craftsman. 5 years old and still going strong. I know a lot of people don't like craftsman power tools but for the price the 1/2 inch impact is hard to beat.
-
Big metric would be 77 and newer impala caprice etc. As far as I know the 73-77 is a one of a kind front clip. I've never had one but heard the are very similar to 70's Camaro clips as far as...
-
I do the same just add E98 till you get the percentage your looking for. Anything between and 80-85% we haven't noticed any difference and don't change anything. I also add Marvel oil to the fuel...
-
What benefit are you looking for by combining the two different fuels? I've been running a E85 straight from the pump at a local station since 08 and have never tried a race blend E85 so I'm not...
-
Has it been rebuilt recently or taken apart for any reason? Sounds like the two shafts that handle the shifting may be installed incorrectly. If they are upside down or something the detent notches...
-
I've always used 3-4 quarts with inner axle seals and never had an issue.
-
I've been running E85 since 2008 and have never used more than 12 gallons in a race. Typically only around 8 gallons in a main event. I use a 22 gallon but wouldn't hesitate to go with a 16 gallon...
-
I bought one of the bearing brake floaters from CPT. Haven't had a chance to run it yet but it is built nice and looks like it will hold up well.
-
Snout seals may keep the oil out of the hub but aren't going to help with filling the axle tube. I never run the snout seals because I run the inner seals on both sides to keep the gear oil where it...

That makes a lot of sense. I'm far from a sheetmetal worker but every season I find myself enjoying building body panels more and more. It's a lot of fun to learn new and better ways to do it.
