Talking AR EFI Shootout

Well guys it's that time this coming up weekend is the EFI Shootout @ Centerville. I was just wondering who all is going to try and make it? I know alot of our cars are tore up or getting finished up. I know alot of guys didn't even know it's this coming weekend. I should have my car back by then and will be there to see what it runs. Another racing season is upon us let's go out and have a good time. I wonder how fast the class will go this year? I hope to see everyone this Saturday. Kris and I are planning on being there around 4:00 Saturday afternoon to get a good spot. The weather isn't looking to good as of right now but we will see. Let's race.

Well its still in the trailer and I have no clue what broke in the rearend. Its bad because its leaking gear oil everywhere. I will pull it apart sometime this week to find out what broke. I ordered a bunch of parts today to make sure I have what it needs to fix the problem. I am going to try to get the spray hooked up also. I like the 2 step but its hard on parts so I will not be using it next time out.

It was set at 4500. I made 3 passes at MMP with it set at 5000. It started leaking fluid then. I took it apart and replaced the side cover o ring seal where it was leaking from and didn't see any thing else that would make it leak so I put it back together. Then this last weekend.

I ordered a new rearend case, new long shaft, and a new nitrous controller today so I should be covered as long as all the parts come in by Friday.


I guess we have a chance since the race truck is still down. lol

Good luck getting it back together

I think a .3 drop in time is very achievable if not more. Make sure you degree the cam and check piston to valve clearance. I would hate to see it come apart on the dyno.
