Had an oiling issue and pulled it apart to check bearings. My local engine builder checked everything while it was apart.

 

Gotcha.... Man I hope that's not the case with mine. I received mine about September 2015 IIRC and it's just been sitting inside the tote in the laundry room.

 

Sorry to see that you kissed the wall. At least you weren't hurt...that is the most important thing. Keep up the progress...makes good reading!

 

Thanks.

 

Got it back.

 

Coming soon...

 

sweet! I need to order that kit as well

 

 

Now to put the interior back together and narrow the rear end and install Strange 35 spline axles, spool and new Baer brakes.

 

Mini tub complete...





Mocking up to get housing/axle width.

 

Axle housing has been shortened 5" per side and Team Z brace kit. Now I'm waiting for Strange Pro Race 35 spline axles and spool. I have Baer SS4+ drag brakes ready to go on too.

 

Strange 35 spline axles and Baer SS4+ rear drag brakes.



Strange spool.



Braced rear end complete.

 

looks damn good I love it!!! you said you narrowed it 5" PER SIDE?

 

I didn't measure the housing when I pulled it out of the car but I found on the internet the factory width is 59.25" and it is 48.75" now so 9.5" total.

 

Update time: At the end of last season I was running 1/8 mile at a local grudge track and got the time down to consistent 6.2x but because I had the clutch counter weight off the trap speed was off at 107 mph. 60' was also consistent at 1.30.

Over the winter I sent 1-4 gears to Liberty's for faceplating. Went to our local 1/4 mile track yesterday and the first run off the trailer was best ever. 1.27, 6.14@111, 9.59@144.13 and there are still several things that we are working on to knock it down some more.

I didn't get a video of the first pass and spun off the line on second pass but this is the third which I aborted after the 1/8. 1.28, 6.11@105.

 

That's a bad MF!!
That launch is priceless!!

 

What tire are you running? Doesn't look like the drag radial in prior pictures.

Mickey Thompson 26x10 stiff wall.

 

On your fastest pass so far..... what was your rpm launch and do you shift off a shift like or do you go by ear?

 

Launching at 5500 and I have a shift light.
