Like any other stuff tried and discussed, what do you want out of your car?

Grumpy used to want Melissa out of his car, but, he gave up and its her car now.  I think when a Brick hits the nines, it automatically belongs to the driver?

[Grumpy]

I guess I now know the limits of my DW300's

Yes there is. Had us scratching our heads!! The new Aeromotive 340 ...Well I'd only use it for a mostly stock car.

Well she had a WE4 that was goin to need some work.. Sooo Dad sold (pieced it out) it an got this from a former customer of mine. Ya she can drive. This car junk does get carried away. One thing leads to another to another.  Oh... Don't tell anyone but I bought a Fast system for the Mazda 

[Steve Wood]

LOL....Okay, I won't mention it to anyone!

Don't know why that does that but if you click it should be full size

Won't let me on.. What is the name of the group ?

Highlights are 77's hp and 77;s torque
 
5.93 at 111 in 1/8th spinning on pump and alchy


no mention of any boostane

Use em or don't ?? Yes we do. Curious about why some don't like em. 

I use it because you use it!  Seems alright so far.  I know when I showed Keith Wilson it from Wilson Manifolds he said it was a restriction.  But his fix is to flow bench the throttle body with the manifold and start cutting up the manifold, messaging it and re-welding it.  That comes out to lots of money so I will stick with the price of the power plate!

I bet, if you took a picture of one, put it into cad and scaled it, the area of the cut outs are larger in total than the area of the throttlebody mouth.  Now, there is no doubt that each opening most likely has a little turbulence around it, and we know that it restricts flow to some cylinders and adds flows to others.

There may be some limit at which point it stops workings, but, we know that it evens flow which evens egts, and that makes tuning easier as one can tune to the sum of all cylinders rather than trying to adjust each one to bring them all to the same level.

We also know that dyno numbers reflect this.  No doubt there will always be some that look at it and pre-judge the results...ther e are others that will sneer because they did not invent it and are not making any money from it.  After all, it is cheap.  Bamford was well into the nines and outrunning everyone else and he ran it.  I don't know how far Dan is into the nines these days, but he has done a lot of testing tuning and is still using it.  good enuf for me

End of the season last year she ran 9.5's an high 6.0's in the 1/8th. 2# launches.  High 1.3s 60'. Last week it was a zero # launch 1.38 an a 2# 1.33 @ 5.93 spinning. We are working on 60's.  Put an anti roll bar in replacing our old tried an true ATR sway bar.
  Dyno's give ya a heads up on how it's working BUT the track is a different animal all together.

Most of her racing is 1/8th  at our track. It's a street and a outlaw class. She runs both classes. Oh she is still footbreaking a 200R4 

[Steve Wood]

Not sure what amazes me the most.  Running with the ATR bar or footbraking a 2004R....I guess the 2004R cause we all know a 200 won't stay together in the tens...

Russ must not read Facebook

[Scoobum]

I should ask my friend/transmission builder if he knows this Russ character...

[Grumpy]

Russ picks his customers carefully. I taught him well. You do things HIS way. He has got a few lessons doin work to get someone by "for now" . It's tuff out there in the Buick world.

Dan, did they drive the car to Cal's?

[Grumpy]

Nope.... 1500 miles away. But it will be used now as the snow has melted.I can't wait to get to the drags up here. Think there is still snow in NH😂
