When I updated my engine from 1600 cc's to 1915, I was told by the builder of my cylinder heads that if he were building the engine, he would build it using a 44 mm weber carburetor. I have a 40 mm weber and had planned this winter to update to a 44 mm and dyno test the improvement. I talked to my l...

sorry for the multiple posts. My PC just went nuts.

I just returned from the Packwood Tour and Pro. In both events there were large sweepers. And, in both events I spun an inside rear tire. The 1915 cc engine makes enough more torque that I felt a need to have limited slip. When I spoke to the Babbs (D/Mod Lotus) and an A/Mod driver (car based on a S...

I'm thinking about adding a Torsen type limited slip to the Vee. Anyone with experience using that type of limitied slip? Does anyone have a suggestion from whom to buy one? Thoughts? Comments?

thanks,

As to the location for Solo Nationals, beginning in '09 I heard, at this weekends Wendover Pro, that the site will likely be in Arkansas.

Sorry I can't offer any advice, I went with the 1915 solution, as well. I was told the engine would have more torque with the 1915 cc choice relative to the 1600 cc/dual carb. choice. I haven't been disappointed; however, I haven't seen a Vee with the dual carbs engine.

Good luck,

Mike

I think the need for an external oil cooler depends on the size of your run groups, whether you have a co-driver, and if you plan to run Pro Solos. Small run groups, co-drivers, and Pros require back to back runs. I have found my car, which has an external oil cooler, gets pretty hot with each of th...

Johnny,

Yes, 39 and 32 mm valve sizes are the ones currently legal for a Solo Vee. By the way, we can thank Chuck
Voboril (member of the MAC) for his help clarifying the rear disc brake and valve size rules.
