^^^we'll turn this race around soon ^^^ Diet has started…. Boy it's fun taking things apart that don't get re-assembled!!
I'll make a video of what we removed and what it all weighed, what we've done to add more hp, and a re-run against my Ram.
Ram shifts right at redline. The D150 shifts out right where I would shift it manually, so I left it in drive and held the camera... LOL
I'm a chocolate chip cookie eater and there's no bad in the meatloaf made around here.. there's a vast difference between a thread for fun and a thread where learning is needed..Nice post, but J par is indeed a cookie cutter. He's thrown bad meatloaf and dirty laundry all over my Drag Truck - cuz it ain't a Duster
..
was you yelling when you posted this?I'm a chocolate chip cookie eater and there's no bad in the meatloaf made around here.. there's a vast difference between a thread for fun and a thread where learning is needed..
So what counts against the budget? Sawzall blades? I understand you've only had $1,300 into the budget but I just can't believe that building a separate motor to do all the testing and trial and error with gears and the body and all of that and the rear end doesn't count against the budget... it's easy to understand why you don't have tuning problems when you have stock compression motors with stock cams and stock ignition parts...
it's easy to understand why you don't have traction problems when you don't have enough power to break traction.lol..
I can hardly wait to see your 10 second truck in perfect tune... I can hardly wait to see it bite on the drag strip and pull the front tires up and get a 1.40 60 foot...
I asked you to stir the pot on mymassive reconstruction thread if you needed to. I was hoping to get help on my carburetors on the carburetor thread.. but you've heard me say that before...
No just keeping my time watch set on how long it would take you to rebut...lol..
I just got home
Drive shaft loop came in today, that counts against the budget.
$1321.37 against the budget...
thought I was going to have to buy a battery hold down, but I found one under the hood buried underneath the headlights
So......... now we're endorsing illegal street racing, and still don't have an official quarter mile time.
It's been going on for a long time... It gets worse when you see young kids all piled in a car racing much faster cars...So......... now we're endorsing illegal street racing, and still don't have an official quarter mile time.
LOL.. I see street racing as when a bunch of cars rip around corners racing from town to town - never have and never will do that. Out of town 1/4 mile marked off in a designated area where there are no side roads, sidewalks, or alcohol/drugs in the drivers is safer than trying to take the kids to a petting zoo in ChicagoSo......... now we're endorsing illegal street racing, and still don't have an official quarter mile time.
Or worse yet when people are enticing ricers at intersections where there are heavy traffic, pedestrians, and wife's screaming because they want no part of it.
Not admitting it's wrong LOL it's called justification in case you were wondering... LOL...LOL..

Anyways ....
Are these counted as against the budget? Expected to do 10 second quarter miles? If so what's the year-date on those?..Another score this morning. Found 2 "next to new" tires (235/75/15) on aluminum rims for the front, and they are "turbine" rims that kind of match the back turbines - sort of .. LOL. 50 bucks for the pair, already mounted and balanced. 10 minutes from my house on CL
