New found power!

Wow, I seen a few individuals found some power for this event.

I've never seen a car pull on people like it did this past weekend and you know who you are!

A good example would be David Armstrong's car.
That car had 329 rwhp and 354 rwtq and weighed 3168 at the last race. Now the car has lost the blast that I had in it of almost 55 lbs and now running Carbon Fiber fenders, doors and hood. This all adds up to more than 75 + lbs alone. The doors alone save over 30 lbs each, not to mention the lighter wheels and tires.

I seen a car pull him on the straight like nothing before, no it was not Matt W. I believe his numbers are one target as he was running with me and this weekend David would pull him pretty good in the straights.

I hope all had a great weekend.

P.S. AI Racers that was your last weekend to get first place finishes, I will be back!

John sorry to not have you on course this weekend but a win is a win my friend and I will take the points any way I can get them!!

Oh, I called jeremy last night and told him to be sure to put in my radio controlled kill switch in your car! If you get too far ahead, I can flip a switch on the dash and turn your car off for a while so I can catch up! :wink: :lol: There is also a few more things in store for Houston so don't get too excited....yet!

Nah, CMC17 has always had power issues. It's time for a change and get rid of the old tired worn out low power air pump. 8)

Ranch Dyno

I now have serious issues with above ground dynos!!!! Specially after this weekend on the one at the ranch.

That was one of the scariest things I have done in a long, long time!

Matt said my eyes where as big as an apple and I can believe it. The floor anchors are not grade 8.

I will say Jason and Shannon (owners) are both great people. I had the car on the dyno 3 times this weekend with now success. :-(

I think the car jumped up off the rollers. :shock:

My car was just the opposite. We had to hand crank the rollers to get them rolling. Otherwise, the car would stall. lol!

No, I didn't break them. I just was looking at them after the first 3 runs!

The concrete was cracked around them and I was told that I did that!

Hey John, I thought with you needing to add ballast to bring your car up to minimum weight, you only needed to make 300/320? Why such a beast of a mill for the new AI23?

Tell you what, I'll swap you - my stock Cobra motor will make 300/320 all day everyday with nothing more than a set of long tubes, pulleys, and the right tune - and it's nicely run in and track tested too ;)

Car is not tuned yet, way to lean! I need to fatten it up in many ways. ;-)

Your motor is to heavy, I would need to get more HP out of it and we know what happens to a stock mod motor when you do that. ;-)

BTW, the accessories and all components are the heavy parts.

Well, installing the A/C back in the car would help you make weight and I happen to have the full system in my attic! Hell, i will even weld it onto your car for you! :wink:

don't knock the stock mod motor man.....my STOCK bottom end was making 300/310 for 2 years of OT and autox work without any issues. I could easily build a 2V with ported heads, flat tops for about 13:1 compression, a proper set of cams and kick the snot out of most old windsors! Course, you might have $10k in the motor but it would work and be quite a bit lighter in the ALUMINUM version! If I had a larger set of cams in my car it would probably put down 360rwhp....but alas, I just have little cams... :P
