My Quest for 13.XX version 1

[Turdle]

So what wheels and tires are you going to be running?

I may just throw on a stock set and run 4wd. This should save some weight.

These goodyears could be kinda scary for track use-huh?

I don't see any reason they wouldn't be fine on the track. And I would bet they would get you off the line better than the cooper cobra's. It wouldn't be hard to switch rims and tires and make a couple of passes with each set.

 

[FROADER]

I was just curious because of the size. I have no idea what would be the best size for your setup down the track.

I'd avoid running tall series tires at high speeds. They may make little difference either way to start, but tall series tires are unstable at high speeds. Change the tires.

but tall series tires are unstable at high speeds.

Would you consider 35's on a 15" wheel a tall tire?? :O

What do you consider high speeds?

Just kidding, I wont be running any 1/4 miles in my BII, if I did it would likely be at 80MPH max otherwise you shake apart!

 

[CDW6212R]

Yes you do know what I mean. The 75/80 series tires are best for mud, snow, gas mileage, and off roading, but not for drag racing. The tire pressure is important, ask the many people who blamed Ford for the Firestone tire issue. Ah, and a tire balance is fun for those big tires isn't it?

 

[410Fortune]

balance? Ha we are happy with CLOSE

 

[99SportX]

That is awesome Jon. I may be heading to the track later this month also. Who's faster? haha j/k

 

[Dan Whitaker]

Hopefully the rain is gone by next week.

 

[TekMan05]

Sorry Guys won't be able to make it Maybe in another 6 -8 weeks we could have some kinda meetup!

 

[Turdle]

A little added tid bit-
I will be towing a trailer with a new Hyabusa loaded on it-
this will also give room to haul a set of stock tires, and tools.

 

[techieman33]

Jimmy couldn't live without having a bike huh?

Nope--
He's already put about 5 k of goodies on this new one--in fact he is picking it up from the dyno today

 

[techieman33]

lol, is he bringing the GTO too?

 

[Dan Whitaker]

Looks like we will be doing a CSP install on my Mounty at the track.

 

[techieman33]

Csp?

So, no more excuses not to run yours--

Then we hit you over the head and collect or inheritance. Eric needs that bumper bad-

CPS, cam sensor? Do you recall if the OEM CPS uses a steel drive gear? I hope and assume so, my billet cam needs a steel gear, and the stock cams should all have steel gears.

If I recall correctly it is,
Isn't it the older distributors which use the bronze gear?

 

[CDW6212R]

I asked the cam maker because there are several gear materials. I didn't know that a cam could have an outer bearing lobe and drive gear pressed on. Evidently that's somewhat common with some aftermarket companies. I'm just checking all bases, hopefully all Ford roller cams are one piece steel.

Comp Cams has been having issues with some where they recommend a composite driven gear, and those are coming apart. That may be all mechanical roller cams of theirs, I don't know. It just created a new subject.
