Looks like there are some Guys running tonight and tomorrow at Clay City! Post up those numbers!!!
Good luck today Craig! Hope to start seeing some numbers up!
Anybody?
I broke something and Im kinda afraid to figure out what it is. :(
Damn, I know that feeling. What I thought was a bad alternator, then cam timing that slipped turned out to be a spun main bearing.
Drained the oil and cut the filter and nothing!
Drained the Trans, Ewww.
^^^ Sorry to hear it.
What trans was in it?
TKO600. When I hit 3rd, thats when the noise came. :(
Damn, that sucks. Hopefully its nothing major inside broken.
Rod bearing. Mains are fine.Quote:

I was thinking more along the lines of a G-101A or something similar.
Need a clutch tamer to soften the hit.
Arent those STUPID EXPENSIVE??Quote:

Adjustable Tilton. :tongue2:Quote:

Fugg all that! Im old and lazy so I need to figure something out. :lol:Quote:

They make Tamers for the HYD setup.Quote:

Lets engagement slip rather slam. I've never broke a synchronized tko before, you're one up on me.
It softens the hit when you let off that clutch pedalQuote:

I thought it works when the button is pressed, like a momentary switch?Quote:

I guess I’m buying a clutch tamer before I try and get a blown coyote stick car to work on the track.

Left way too soft, wheel hopped bad in second so lifted then kinda rolled back in 3rd. Second pass broke the blower belt. Belt replaced and going to see what it can do at Edgewater Saturday.
Gonne be impressive with a good complete pass. MPH is looking promising for sure!
Im thinking it should go mid 150s. Not sure how many passes the stock transmission has in it though.lol
On a radial or slick?
28x10.5 stiff wall slick
Impressive so far.
