unless you call an 8.56 @161 running decent! Went to NMCA race in Houston and went 8.61& 8.56 on friday and saturday and then on the 42 cruise i broke the dist. gear. Oh well, there is always the next race......

 

Hel yeah,,congrats on the times.sucks to have that happen..had that happen to me at a FFW event.made the 30 mile ride,starter took a poop 2 round.

 

not trying to piss on anyones parade, especially since I dont know the whole story on the "blowthrus dont work" saga,

but posting up a time as evidence that blowthrus work is like someone posting an 8.56 with a dominator carb on a 302 and saying dominators work.

my humble opinion

 

Great stuff Tony. What broke in the distributor?

 

just think once we fig out how to make them work, lol
def cool, bummer on the cruise

 

The "blowthrus don't work" thing came from carb builders/manufactures. A few years ago if you asked them about blowthru they was very quick to tell you it wouldn't work at all or only with very low boost. A lot of those same companies offer blowthru carbs today.

It's basically a running joke on this site.

 

funny thing is, they have been around since the 50's-of course, a lot of other stuff has also and we are just getting caught up to it now
Studebaker, Ford had them-Ford came out with one in 57, Nascar imead. made them illegal
of course, theres still people that know they dont work, so we gotta keep at it, lol

 

Well, Ive always been told that everybody has an opinion just like everybody has an asshole, and they ususlly stink.

Hey Brent, long time!! This was actually in my dads car, which has all my old turbo stuff in it with an air/air intercooler. The gear was a steel gear instead of a bronze. It was in the car for at least 5 years. Oops!!

 

wow, thats imagninative. I havent heard that one before.

 

STFU, everyone on this board knew what I was talking about.....

 

LMAO. You good to go Tony. (Most) of us knew exactly what you were talking about .

 

LOL

X2
Most of us here cut our teeth on the "blowthru's Don't work" statement

 

well thank you, thank you
