he didnt actually say that but im sure he would be more than happy to race u. I would love to go to an 1/8 mile track and video it. this weekend to soon? He swears he pulled u off the line.

darren when you were talking about a track in obx, is it actually in the outer banks or just named that? since ill be down there this week anyway

im 99% sure that steen race has a Flow bench Magnum(sp) Machine probly has one too

Virginia Speed has a flowbench,Superflow 1020,i'm pretty sure that getting it done in a timely manner would not be a problem.

well I wasnt planning on going back to the track until the fall but if he wants to do it then I guess we can.... I dont have ANY kind of traction bars on it right now so it would be a wheel-hopping sunuvagun, but I wont mak excuses... I'll wheel-hop my way right past him...

I guess if he considers that he "pulled" me then ok... while I was at about 60% throttle trying not to slide sideways into someone. I'll accept that

-I dont think I have to worry about much at the track with his full 1 secnd r/t and 2.4 60' I'll be passing the 330' when he gets his **** into gear....

Obx is in creswell. Its a great track. It's dead straight south of chesapeake looking at it on a map

yeah, my bad, I was talking about northeast dragway in Hertford...

and BTW... I'll be heading down there this Friday to do some tuning... and some *** whipping...

anyone who wants to come out feel free... if you need a ride down, let me know, I gotta back seat still

Wish i could..... im in TX... flew in today..... @ FT Hood and ill be in San antonio this weekend....
Thinking about going to Temple raceway tomorrow night.... its there test & Tune night....
If i do ill take pic's....

BTW i never went to Fun Ford...

We did drive up there, but when they told me $55 to watch... and it was already noon and they were done @ 5pm.... we were like HELL NO

Temple is a really nice track I remember a while back you were curious about trans temp logs on the track with my cooler/hose setup... I'll have that info this weekend if you are still interested... for ***** and grins if nothing else.

and I already got my flow numbers... these arent with throttle bodies like I wanted but, they do show the results I figured they would.

Here's what I ended up with.

With all the discussion about the various Gen 3 intakes, I thought I’d do some bench testing of some of the different manifolds available. Some results were predictable and others were not. First I tested one of our Stage 2, 6.0l CNC ported intake ports with a radius flow plate to establish a baseline. Next I tested a rectangular radius flow plate that blocked off the triangular intake roof entrance. The rectangular plate approximates the size and location of the manifold’s runner match up at the head. In total I tested 5 intake manifolds. I didn’t have a FAST to test, but if I get the opportunity, I’ll test and post the results.

The test was performed on a JKM600 Flow bench. I tested what would be the number 3 cylinder on each intake (one of the two center ports). There were no throttle bodies used in any of the tests. All ports were capped to force air to flow through the manifolds. My sources tell me that the 5.3l and 6.0l truck intakes are identical. If anyone can confirm this I'd appreciate it.

Some comments and observations…… I wasn’t too surprised to see the LS6 and Edelbrock intakes do better than the truck and LS1. I was surprised to see the SSR do as well as it did because it looks like a 90mm throttle body flange was grafted onto a standard truck intake. What can we learn from this test? These tests can help us evaluate each intake runners flow capacity. In other words, how restrictive they are. I suppose I should test each and every runner, but I haven't got the time for that. This test cannot tell us how the intake performs in entirety. That’s up to the dyno or race track. I certainly believe the truck intake becomes a flow restriction in the higher rpm ranges especially on more highly tuned applications. The truck’s dual chamber design can produce excellent low end torque similar to a dual plane carb intake, but sacrifice top end performance while the LS6 provides better mid range and top end but not quite like the Victor Jr..



And just the three intakes that the truck guys are generally interested in



-just if anyone is interested for their own personal info....

Dude did you ever get your self a stall???? Its nice up here in Whidbey, But damn I am not kidding there are so many Ricers. its not even funny. They run in packs of 20's around here. And they all think they are hot ****. They usually sit along side the road and converse with eachother and throw there hands up like they wanna race, and as soon as you throw a rev or something they run scared. lol. So how is Jenro's and Basspro going. I kinda miss it up there. Talk at you later man.

took my car to get tuned today...found out i have a weak #7 cylinder. I didnt notice it before and now i feel like an idiot. im gonna check the basic things tom. i guess...plugs, wires etc. anything else i should look for?

Where did you take it?? Who is doing the tuning??? If you have a weak cylinder then you should probably do a compression test. Who determined you had a weak cyl, and how??? Just curious....
