Nice, where was that pass at Memphis??

 

At Memphis he was struggling with fuel gremlins in high gear, looks like he found them!

Kurt

 

I think the car likes Michigan better? Nice pass guys.

 

I think it ran better because I wasn't there. The car don't like me.

 

i wonder what this engine builder is doing to keep the motor happy at that power level. 198 mph is no joke!

 

This engine builder hasn't touched the engine all season. 70 runs on it to date. Lashed the valves 3 times now, changed oil a few times.

Has cometic std. head gaskets on it. No head gasket issues. No bearing issues. No valvetrain issues.

I give a lot of that credit to the block. The LSX block is a good piece, things don't move around in it. Same for the All Pro castings. Good thick castings help out a bunch.

Don't get me wrong, the engine is all top level parts. He didn't hold me back on buying the right stuff... It should have zero problems save for some unforseen bumps in the road.

This thing eats 9000+ rpm like candy.

 

whats the motor and power adder?

 

LSX with 101 Single blow thru carb.

 

nice i assume ur the builder?

 

Cool news! I was pulling for you in Memphis. The way your car launches and keeps pulling with the nose up high is a sight to see!

 

Chris, can you talk with Turley? He has 250-300 runs and I think he only lashed his valves twice!! I think he ran hyd to long.........


Kurt

 

He trusts his engine builder!!

If I didn't check the lash myself it would never get checked!!

 

Looks good guys, I would have stopped by in Memphis but none of you were around the trailer the times I went by. I figured you were having problems hence the MPH was way off but it didn't seem you guys were working on it a whole lot. I also went down to Turley's pit but they always seemed to busy thrasing the whole weekend, I did see Kurt and a sandy haired blonde guy but they were talking and I didn't want to interupt any possible important conversations. So I went to Memphis to meet people and learn some things and all I learned was I am outta my leauge. All you guys are top notch Teams with really fast cars ,my hats off to you.

 

Just walk up and introduce yourself, I came down to meet people also. The problem is with my memory I don't always remember them!

Kurt

 

You kiddin? We're just a bunch of dummies who occasionally find a nut. Don't be afraid to dive in head first!!

 

For sure, next time I will introduce myself

 

awesome times man! u guys seem like top notch good people... congrats!

 

WOW!
im impressed.
wish more people considered blow thru for lsx engines.
it works

 

I was just thinking the only reason I recognized you was because of that Green Nova in HotRod mag. Do you still have it? I was around when Turley was lashing his valves and this pic was taken
