No, really not the right kind of machine for Bonneville. And cleaning up the mess after....

I have a full column from my SLC never installed. It's on a shelf gathering dust. Happy to send you the parts you need and scrap anything left that's not spoken for. If you want the whole thing, it's yours for shipping. I'm North of Dallas... BTW, I went with a race column, hence no need...

For those not in the FB group... Car spent a few days on/off the dyno straightening out some minor but important issues. Then went to Texas Mile to make sure it's solid for April BBORR. With conservative AFR and Timing, the car made 699WHP with the boost solenoid at 50% and rev limiter at...

AJ, what did you use for the mechanism inside the mirror (to allow the mirror adjustment)?

Quick update. Cables are in. Don't appear much different than originals. BUT... shift SOOOOOOOOOOO much better. Can "feel" the gates now. This is with the RCR standard shifter. Next long run is planned for October. Will see if they have fixed my melting problem.

I've been thinking about Afco 16s. We use those on our Sprint Cars. Double adjustable with remote reservoirs. Remote adjusters are readily available. I think current price is about $550/each. We have some going out for rebuilds this week - I think it's $80/each if not damaged. These are...

Mine is 3D printed with Nylon-CF. Holds 2 CanBus/O2 controllers/gauges and the ball-mount holds one of the Mirror/Displays. Clamps on the overhead bars as you can tell. However the Mirror/Displays suck. The mirror part makes glare bad and reduces image brightness. At some point I am going...

With the popularity of semi-mat finishes, plastidip or wraps fit right in. Unless you are going for a simple classic paint job, it will be dated in a few years. In West Texas you are always one good sand storm from needing a repaint anyway ;)

Does anyone with a driving SLC with manual brakes feel like they would rather have power breaks? I absolutely understand wanting power steering, but I’ve never wished for power breaks in any of my cars with manual brakes.

I'm knowingly going to resurrect this from the dead.... Melted my cables recently even though they have high $ silicone/fiberglass insulation where they are close to exhaust. Will re-route a bit, but ordered from http://www.controlcables.com per Don V above. FYI, the high temp cables where...

The rest of us just let the car eat small animals... I have coolers on both sides to make sure the animals come out in small pieces.

BTW, Great info from Howard above. Guys don't be afraid to do your own alignment. It's not rocket science. Just takes care and patience. Some of the settings are personal preference within reason (caster and toe), so don't hesitate to change. I run a bit more toe-in than Howard (front and...

Nope. Don't think he's been running BBORR.

Sorry, never ran "B"s. Have tried a few non-Wilwood pads in our Wilwoods. Only thing good I can say about any of those is they are cheaper and the local shop always has them on the shelf.

I used something like Kurt did. But the foam sealing tape I got expands a BUNCH. I have a couple, don't remember which I used there, but they come off the roll about 1/8-1/4" thick and expand to 1" or 2" (depending on which it is) in a short time. Used the same to seal top of the radiator to...

We use BP30/40s on the Sprint car. 40 on LF, 30 on Rear. The 40s grab on application - desirable on the Sprint car LF as it helps turn the car. Both work well cold and hot.

The gear whine won’t be too bad since it’s behind the engine.

I'm with Mesa. It's all about how you set yours up. Personally mine is setup hard as a rock and marginal height for the street. It's not the least bit twitchy (when it's right). Mine is used mainly for Open Road Racing where speeds are 130+ for 20-28 minutes at a time. With the downforce it...

If you are looking for a boosted application (eventually), you probably don't want a 427. The large bore does not leave much cylinder wall causing various issues. Over the last few months I've put a LSX376-B15 (GM Crate Engine) in mine. Probably the same block as the Blueprint Engine above...

My starter had an issue with an LS7. Upgraded the battery->starter wire and then spun it over great. 4 gauge was TOO SMALL even with the battery in the engine compartment. I now run 0ga with battery up front and a disconnect switch.
