It enters on the LOWER side of the radiator and exits at the high side.

If your cooler is of decent size and you can mount it to get get air. You might want to eliminate the use of the radiator altogether. Especially if you are marginal on the engine temps.

From a retailer/builder standpoint. It is clearly the "low cost" classes that are slowing down their expenditures. Our HANS sales, V8 sales and purchases for the more expensive classes, haven't changed a bit (and in some cases has increased. But the Vee stuff has slowed down. When travel a...

Actually the gas shoots up and down, but when the engine is running the upper spurt doesn't really go up very far.

But as Dietmar says, it sounds like yours is working right.

All 1200's (1192) should use the flywheel gasket. (either metal or paper) between the crank and the FW. If you install one on yours you will probably fix the leak and you will have .010+ end play which is what you want. Torque the gland nut to a couple hundred lbs and check your end play. If is is b...

JB Weld shrinks to some degree and in any case doesn't make for a good seal since it dries brittle and can crack. Use RTV for that purpose.

>>Would a leakdown test show high blowby? It may be worthj it to do before I go into a 3 hour engine pull..<< It may. But I still don't think that is your problem. If it's leaking while idling, you simply have a leak. Your case is vented in a couple spots, not to mention there is no front seal (at t...

Don't know if it's a fresh flywheel or where you got it, BUT.. MOFOCO was selling some flywheels that had been turned down on the seal area. Thus, the seal never even touched the flywheel. As long as you are replacing the seal check that it fits your flywheel and rubs it. BTW, it's not part of your ...

Hal, Actually they were PTFE (Teflon) thus they had a melting point well over 600 degrees. We had about 1000 made up several years ago and sold them all. However the last 20 probably took 6 months to sell :lol: As you point out, they worked perfectly, but some people would tighten the nuts down so t...

[quote="Veefan] ... If I use an NACA duct on the body, designed to not add pressure to the carb, just "offer" cooler air, with no additional drag... more HP!!! Ok, so maybe it's only 1/10 of a an HP, I'll take it![/quote] Assuming a typical day of 50% humidity, 30in of baro pressure, ...

Scott,

There are several free converters on the web you might try. (AVI, MOV, MPEG etc.) You might download one of those and convert first before editing.

Here is another sample of the Go-Pro. http://sracing.com/images/One_lap.wmv I know some of you guys have had some problems, but since the new version camera came out (6 mons) or so. We have filmed many times up to 52 minutes with no problem. (Sound kinda sucks on the race car, but everything else is...

We have new Hoosiers in stock. I assume you are looking for used ones though?

Actually, I believe that Chris is right on this one. With no scoop, you have a negative pressure at the carb throat. With a scoop, if you have zero pressure at the throat, then you are swallowing all the air and potentially no drag from the scoop inlet, and you have higher pressure than without a s...

Also, the Cd is less than 1 because you are "swallowing" the air, not deflecting it... If you "swallowed all the air, you would have zero boost. To achieve boost you will have pressure and thus aero drag. You'd probably end up with < 3 lb force or about ~ 1/2 HP @80. If you mean 3 lb...

It is highly unlikely you will get enough boost to offset the aerodynamic costs. Just make sure it is getting as cool as air as possible. Does the carb jetting need to account for the increased 3 inches? A quick search of this website quoted 116 CFM at 28" for a FV Carb. Would you want carb set...

Hal, Yours was purchased a year ago. In the earlier cameras some of them had simple metal tabs for the battery connectors. They later went to springs. It is possible you have one of the early ones. Vibration would cause them to cut out and/or record bad files. Go-Pro was replacing them for anyone th...

Steve is right as usual for set up.... But... At the risk of irritating shock rebuilders... I dont' agree with the yearly rebuild requirement. If you have a Nitrogen filled shock, you might want to check and purge that frequently, but if the nitrogen pressure stays close and the shock isn't leaking,...

Jim, what ratio are you seeking with the broad band sensor? L Bacon That's a secret. :lol: About 13.2 is pretty good. You won't lose much at even 12.8, and it will run a bit cooler. 13.6 or so is as lean it should get normally. With the correct a/c and main jets you should be able to keep it in ran...

I normally use air density to change up or down one jet from my baseline that my engine builder used when it was rebuild. I went to a track that had a long straight. It was a normal day that required no change. I was running very lean by looking at the plugs. I ask another racer what jet he is usin...

I am fimiliar with a EGT guage in piston powered aircraft. The technique to adjust the mixture was to lean to highest EGT then enrich it. How will I use a EGT in my car for the proper jetting? If you qualify in the morning and race in the afternoon the conditions will change. Is that enough to chan...

Here is an actual Dyno run (rear wheel HP). Which is probably what you should be using anyway. http://sracing.com/Store/Chassis_Dyno/veeHP.jpg If you want engine flywheel numbers. You can figure about 8-9% more than the chart shows. Please note that HP and TORQUE will always be equal at 5252 RPM on ...
