Dave,
I think I might have underestimated, I have been on the Speed site since it started up as I bought and sold Serdi machines on it when Don first set it up. As far as my posts hope they have gotten you thinking. If you have not attempted to get a crate engine pulling up to 7500 you have not hit the sweet spot yet. It don't work on one out of the box as you have to work specific areas to make things happen.

For all you rednecks that don't know any better, you might want to pick up an issue of Engine Technology, they cost about $15ea but have more current information in them than Hot Rod TV or Circle Track Magazine. Battery powered storage was run and tested at my shop by Don and Danny Panoz about 10-12 years ago, when my home and shop was up the street from them in Braselton. I sold them about $1Million+ worth of engine building equipment for them to start up ELAN Power, so I guess I have a unique insight into their race program. They won a couple races by running 1 less pit stop than the other guys and shortly after that the power regeneration system was outlawed. It is currently being run as KERS in F-1, some M'cycle classes and some other race classes where they don't have rules against it yet.

I have the systems currently running on 3 Dirt Late-Models and 4 Pavement cars, they are all associated with a CUP team I do R&D for. Since the system costs about $15-20K it is not in the ballpark for most folks and I am not looking to sell it outside of the current user group . It is a small system that is only about 12kW system so it is not real big but is worth about 5-10 partial power laps that will save 3-4 laps of fuel on pavement and maybe 5 laps on dirt. It operates under decel and charges under de-cel. It is similar to what is run on a single wheel of some e-power cars.

As far as dropping off the site for a couple months, I have been on a business trip to Italy for about 2 months back and forth delivering and servicing some of my cylinder head equipment.

As far as selling my junk, it has a life of it's own and sell itself. The folks that run it continue to buy it, as far as sending it out to test, I have been selling and shipping parts to just about anybody that e-mails me with a request and has the money to pay for the items.

I may have gotten slammed on Speed about my post on Satellite traction control, but it was a fact and was in place like I said before; a major CUP team, Delphi and Hughes in conjunction with McLaren. Seems kind of funny that McClaren or one of their subsidiaries along with Illmor are the ones responsible for building the Fuel Injection and CPU's for current Cup FI. Anyway there are a couple folks on Speed that PM'd me that thought that is what happened at the Open a couple years back.

I am not sure who you guys consider to be experts here or there but I already know most of the folks over there as the originator of the Site was a former Serdi Salesman.

Dynoman,

I apologize for you getting slammed by some of these "boneheads", just so I could get some info.

I still plan on getting up with you on some 604 parts, but consulting with 2 race teams has kept me very busy.

I'm sure you have heard this, but someone in racing once said , "if you are gonna be in auto racing, you better have skin thicker than an alligator."

Anyway, keep doin' what you're doin', some of us are listenin!

Dirttrakr244,
No problem, I learned way back when that not everybody marches to the same Sax player...

Good luck on the consulting deal, I have a couple deal I have been on in the last couple months including installation and confirmation of a couple KERS systems on Dirt Late-Models. They make a bigger difference on crates, and in particular pavement crates as fuel in 100 and 200 lappers is a significant concern.

We have also perfected USB response back and forth from race cars with 4g Phones as the sender. It has already proven to be a very good on pavement for magnetic shock adjusters and weight jackers, and will now find its niche in other forms of motorsports.

I also spent 2 days on the blow down rig working with nose shape and position as well as creating new and determining existing low pressure areas on the body.

If you want 604 springs, retainers and locks I am on about 2wk backlog filling orders. I have gotten my rig up to about 30 sets a week and that is about the max until I get time to build another fixture and UHF generator.

If you have the opportunity to do so with your teams, the biggest area of gain you can get is matching your Carb and Dizzy to the fuel burn curve of the gas you are running. I do a couple a week and results are pretty impressive with gains in the 25FT# & 20HP +. Also there is a big gain in using a proper timing curve in the dizzy to maximize engine acceleration rate.
