Track next week
Posted by: | CommentsFresh engine and transmission rebuilds in both the whale and Vitamin C. Taking to the track to make a couple of passes in both next week. Then clean up for Bradenton. The Big Red Ram is in the next bay over from Dragn Wagn getting the ladder bars ripped out and replaced, converted to an automatic, and a few other enhancements. It won't be ready in time for Bradenton. The engine in the black car has never ran as good as expected. I'm hoping it just needs a tuneup, as it is really struggling to hit 9.75 and pretty much dies above 6500 rpm. Hope to get it right by Bradenton or Dallas might have to drive the Vitamin C.

Barry Grant bg400 reseal instructions
Posted by: | CommentsDoes anyone know where there's a PDF of instructions on resealing a Barry Grant 400 fuel pump?
I have a minor leak at the base and not yet pulled off to see if it is a pre 2006 or the post 2006. Before I order the seals I want to look over the instructions as there's confusion of it there are 1 or 2 special tools needed.

Diamondback AFB NSS Carb Dyno test
Posted by: | CommentsJust got this from an NSS racer- dynoed his engine today and sent me this - the first test is on his main carb set modified by a very well known and highly proficient racer, second is after swapping to DBE AFB's


There appears to be a little more there with a fuel pressure and weight change, the bottom numbers should be better- highest gains- HP 20.2, TQ 24.2.....keep in mind the base carbs are much better than what a stock set would have been....
