A few of you have asked for my brake system calculator and I have now converted it to a more convenient Excel File. You can find it on my website under Whats New Section .

Hi John. Good to meet you at Watkins Glen and am glad to see you got the car back together and running well! Good luck. Gary

Agree. Anti-seeze

Are there significant differences between editions?

The basic layout problem is that the R&P is at the back of the box not at the front by the belhousing.

I believe you can get away with two pumps and no swirlpot if you have trap door pickups in each cell like in this thread: Buzz Clarke Fuel Cell Mods.

Thanks Chris for the 90 degree data point. Who makes the camera or where could I buy one? Thanks

I ended up buying this one. I have not received it yet nor do I know how well it will do. We will see. I am considering the previously posted camera, but would like to try before buying

I actually ordered the monitor portion yesterday. I am going with a 7" TFT LCD with a 16:9 ratio. It has 2 video inputs and a video flip (required in the monitor or camera). The camera is now what I want to buy and was wondering if anyone found one they were happy with. I am looking for...

I have decided to add a roll bar mounted screen and rear view camera. I have selected the screen and am looking for a suitable camera. Anyone have something they think works great. I would wonder what viewing angle would be appropriate. Also I would think that water resistant or water proof...

It will be interesting to see how the IRL cars change for the road courses. Now they need a compromise low speed vs. high speed, etc. I am not going to the race tonight, but it would be nice to see someone take a few pics at Richmond as it is a bit slower, 0.75 mile track.

Good points. IRL may make more downforce from under body aero and not necessarily wings. Should result in more tire load though. Maybe Firestone has been giving Bridgestone pointers

[ QUOTE ] Also the IRL cars dont use that much downforce. The wings on the IRL car are almost a hindrence as they are set up flat and provide too much drag and down force at any bit of a angle.....I think any comparison btwn F1 and the IRL cars at that track does not hold any water.. [/ QUOTE...

Some of this might be helpful. More weight on the rear tires on accel????

Back briefly to David's comments. My point of bringing up IRL was not to say the cars were the same. They are very different. But playing the safety card and saying that F1 cars may wreck and have lawsuits because of fan injuries, etc. does not hold water as heavier cars go 200 laps through...

What speed do the F1 teams run through that corner. Maybe 170 mph? They are at ~210 mph at the end of the straight. IRL runs 228 mph average for the lap (233 in 1992). I would guess IRL runs through the same turn at ~40 mph faster. They wreck. The fans have been to date safe. They...

You need to use Motoseal. A bit hard to find, but made for Gas.

Any info on the Ford GT trans? Looks big and heavy to me, but I bet it can take lots of torque (Saw a writeup with a Ford GT doing 10.8 1/4 mile runs). Now that takes torque and HP considering it is over 3200 lbs.

Nice job!

I think you will find for similarly configured engines (aluminum heads and intake) that the weights are not that different. As I have noted many times, take a look at the 452 CI FE here at 503 lbs: 427 FE Versus the 351 based 427W here at 467 lbs: 427W Both were measured on the...
