    RCR's Next car should be.....

    Haven't posted here in a while. Just saw this today and Fran has GOT to come up with a proper chassis to take this motor! Something roadster-only with minimal bodywork to both show off the engine and drastically reduce the build time. Fran probably knows all the principals involved, as they...

    Is 1500+ HP enough in an SLC?

    Which body panels? ALL of them? What do they add? JR

    I HATE electrical problems!

    Yes, the Master Off switch cuts power to ISIS. That's the point of it--so this wouldn't happen. JR

    I HATE electrical problems!

    Got my SLC back from Allan and am in the process of making seats. Used the remote to open the door and the door opened 3" and stopped. Further investigation revealed a dead battery. So I hooked up the superduper Optima smart charger and it got the battery to 100% within 24 hours. That was...

    Here's the last dyno pull at Thomson Automotive when they put a fresh tune on the newly completed car. If you go to full screen, you can watch the RPMs on the display on the wall. Turn your sound up if you want the proper ambiance... This is on a Mustang chassis dyno which I'm told reads...

    One Tank Across America Challenge in a SLC

    Speed limits aside, what do you think is the car's optimum speed for mileage? FYI my '96 Viper coupe got 23.5 MPG at 85 MPH and 1700 RPM. JR

    LS Engine won't start

    You have spark and you have fuel, but no joy. Sounds like the crank is seriously out of phase with the cam, and I suspect this condition would throw the code you are getting. The first thing I would do is pull the valve cover and the #1 spark plug, crank the motor over with a wrench, and...
