My fuel system is very similar to yours as far as size of fuel line but my hot side is a 2 1/2 and I'm wondering if that is too restrictive going to the turbo.thanks Tony for the help. Have you been out with your car at all lately.

 

Do you have a backpressure sensor? If the backpressure is under control the smaller piping will build more velocity and make it spool faster.

 

Update time - I ran in to some more engine troubles after I got it all back together, on the first pass it popped and the engine shut off. Ended up bending all the valves again. I don't know how I was able to drive it to the track but I did. Here is a pic of what happened the car.

My car went to Gen1sve's house to have the motor pulled and and some odds and ends. My motor went to Ed Thomas Performance in DE and he found some extra power! It is still a hydraulic roller but I now run a AFR 220 renegade head and some more compression. I have been doing some local list racing and was number 2 when the motor let go and got knocked off the list. I made it back into the 10 spot on friday night, and am trying to work my way back up. I didnt go crazy changing the fundamentals of the motor so I could start working on getting my 60' and 1/8 mile times down. I don't have any timeslips as it seems all the racing has been N/T racing. The chassis is coming around and we are trying to tame the new found power. Here is a pic from friday night on my first test pass.

Here is a video of the 2nd pass for the qualifier. It pulls the front wheels back up, was a great time!

 

Congrats! She sure is nasty.

 

wow - snapped those cam bolts right off. sux. As for getting help and back together - awesome - Pic of the wheelstand is priceless.

 

Making some power for sure. Sorry about the carnage.

 

Thank you guys, the cam is now double pinned. I had never heard of that even happening but now that I spoke with a few people it is apparently more common than I thought.

Damn Anthony, have heard of that but not seen many unless decent spring pressures or interference issues.

Car looks like it's working.

 

Damn, sorry to see the carnage Anthony. That wheel stand had to get the blood pressure up a little.

 

Cam bolt backed out? I'm curious as to this being the possible cause, and/or the weaker cam core (SADI vice Billet) caused it to just shear off.

 

Mine just did the same damn thing! #ad

Wow, I guess it is more common!

My bolt did not back out, it was still in the cam unharmed. The pin sheared off and let the cam sprocket spin without turning the cam.

Anthony

 

Ouch!

 

Congrats Anthony, those are some serious wheelies!

 

Sorry to hear about the carnage Anthony. That is what we first suspected with mine when it went down on the dyno. Glad to hear you are up and running again. Car looks like it is making some really good power.

I couldn't seem to win with the car the last few weeks, I think it was trying to tell me it was time to call the season and end. Last Friday on my test pass the car left cry well but it all ended around the 60' line. With the wheels in the air it sheared all 5 studs out of the axle. The tire/wheel got wedged in the fenderwell, which actually helped save a lot of damage. I am taking it DC Performance in MD to get some much needed chassis work done, and will post pics up to show progress.

 

WOW! I saw the first pic and thought "cool he got it back together" then the second pic. That really sucked.

What axles and tires are you using? Maybe I need to think about mine.

 

wow man - sorry to see that - but agree on the tire wedge saving additional carnage. Buddy did the similar with his stang prior to having good axles/stud. Also got lucky tire stayed in fenderwell.

All winter to repair - good luck A

 

All things considering. You are the luckiest guy I know.

 

Thanks for the kind words guys. Kurtis, I am lucky that happened, could have been worse!

I am almost embarrassed to say I was running those times on the 31 spline axles. A few weeks ago at atco on a soft tune it went 8.2@168. This thing absolutely flies now, we picked up noticeable power with the new motor.
