Anyone have any real world experience yet with them? Run them, or seen them run competitively against the $50k typical motors? I’ve seen plenty of impressive builds, and incredible numbers for...
-
I haven’t been around asphalt cars in many years. I’m curious how different the dynamic wheel load numbers really are? They certainly get there with completely different methods, but what do the...

The 19” gm fan is an awesome piece for moving a TON of air. We didn’t notice any lack of power with our 358 limited motor (500ish hp) when switching to it from a 15” fan, but they sure are heavy!...
-
Shhhhhhhhhhh! It’s all a secret! Lol. I’d say it’s a combination of things though. Though I’ve had good success wrenching on our late model, I consider myself pretty new (only graduated from stock...
-
What types of CAD software do you guys tinker with? Anything free or cheap to just play around with? I’m not looking to design or build anything crazy, just looking for an alternative to trying to...
-
Driver new to late models? If so, that’s usually driver induced. There’s things you can do to help. What car, springs, bar locations, track configuration/surface conditions etc?
-
Would I be correct in guessing this is probably what led to the first use of a LF travel limiter to keep it tied down? If not the first use, I’d say it would definitely be needed.
-
Tri-Y headers are designed to be able to have the same, or better flow at high rpm due to more efficient design/scavenging, with the low end torque advantages of a smaller primary tube. Best of both...
-
Lazer usually sells a complete used roller (no seat, engine, trans, shocks) with all new decking/body for about the price you’re looking. Like a year or two old, but put on the jig, checked, and...
-
It probably depends a bit on the track, but we definitely had a very noticeable difference switching to tri-y headers on our 358 steel late model. Restarts are huge at our track, and I’d pay double...
-
Is this only an issue in the feature/dry slick? How is the attitude of the car? Is it getting over on the right side or is the RF not down on the track when the track slows down? Could be the car...
-
It just might be better. The new setups compromise some of the traction available through suspension as a trade-off for more aero traction. If we were allowed to go back to wedge bodies, (not that...
-
Yes! That last one about the forward drive! Haha. And I use the “don’t worry about what I adjusted” technique too. Usually it’s more of a “I made it so you should be able to run it in harder and...
-
I knew it was a very general question. Not really looking for specific answers or solutions, just curious what others are doing and why. Our old car/setup was quite a bit heavier sprung in the rf and...
-
Curious what some different adjustments guys are trying that work well to free up entry on a tacky track. Cars and setups, in my opinion, are designed to be so good on a feature track (as they should...
-
never mind. I was thinking too hard (or not hard enough maybe). I’m so used to the birdcage index changing with travel that I couldn’t imagine it NOT. Had to draw it on paper. Just a parallelogram...
-
Maybe I’m way behind on something, but what’s the theory on running the bars parallel? As the birdcage rotates they wouldn’t stay perfectly parallel anyway. Just trying to stay close?
-
The gm fan being discontinued just has my gears turning on how to get the most efficient cooling without it. We run the gm fan now, and started to have cooling issues due to pulley issues. We had to...
-
I never see electric fans and/or water pumps being used in the dirt world. Has anyone tried it with good or bad results? I can’t see a downside if you run an alternator and there are no rules...
-
I don’t have any experience with a MB chassis specifically, but generally it depends on the Track, driver, etc. There’s no right answer for what’s “better” or they would quit giving the option. You...
-
That IS quite a variety of combinations. Is it an established class that’s been running a while, or something brand new? If it’s been around, what’re the front running cars using? Is there a...
-
Huck, we’d love to keep running the GM fan. It’s all we run, and it WORKS! Unfortunately, they’re discontinued and you can’t replace them. Hopefully someone steps up and reproduces it without...
-
I’m not a “shock guy” so I could be way off here, but if you have them custom built/valved and they’re sealed, I wouldn’t think it would make any difference what shock body you start with. Like I...
-
We were fighting an issue being throttle loose most of the season. I was blaming it on entry not being perfect. I was thinking of bar angle, and not so much about the rear steer that that added droop...
-
If a little is good, more is better right? Haha. Book calls for approximately 13 1/2”-14 1/4” but not much seems to be done by the book anymore. Everything gets stretched to the limits or the...
