Before & After

Whoa. Didn't realize they were local. I'm down in reading about once a month so may have to check them out in person

Did you get your Turbo Blanket?

Trying to degree my cams in after I installed the RGR Lockouts....





I was using this tool, but it didnt come with the correct adapter, so I drew something up and had my buddy machine it.









I also had to "machine" and Fab up this one off custom piston stop...




I was able to get the intake cams done, but the exhaust cams needed a different dial indicator stand, so hopefully i can get that done later today.

impressive jigs and machine work Craig. I like the plunger indicator mount and adapter. Cam lockouts huh? Looks like things just got real serious. Good luck. 575WHP is more than enough for this old man behind the wheel these days......but I'd pay for some gas to go for a ride when that is done.

Love the stop as well. I made a spark plug gapping tool years ago for the 3 valve plugs. May even still work for the newer ones as well if they still use 16mm fine thread.

Thanks!

You would think I wouldve been happy running 10s NA, banging gears....but here I am messing shit up.

YOU???!!! HAPPY RUNNING TENS??? BLAH HA HA!!! Nah....that's my line. you owned a speed shop and grew up with a dad that loved cars and speed as well, IIRC. For a guy like you there is no such thing as "happy" running at any speed or ET...once you get there. I went to Kings Island last year for the first time in 15 years...or any amusement park. Got on Banshi and about soiled myself on the first hill. I used to ride coasters all the time. The bigger the better. I've ridden a coaster in Japan. I've been to Cedar Point and ridden every coaster there including Millennium Force...hands up the whole way. Just don't have the nerve I had years ago. Best of luck. Miss seeing you up this way.

I too get "weezy" on rides now. The wife and I were on the Viking Ship ride (swings back and forth) and I was shocked how I was feeling on it.

Not like anyone gets on SBZ anymore, but I figured I would throw this out there...

I get that. I went to Kings Island about 3 years ago with a buddy who I grew up with. In our younger years we went to Cedar point about 15 years earlier and rode every coaster except sky dragster because it kept shutting down. He got me on Banshi at Kings Island and boy was I ready to re-engage. Little did I realize how old I was until we got about half way up that hill. I screamed like a little girl going down the other side. It was fun but I was scared poopless. We rode Racer, Beast, and then I got the nerve to ride Diamond back. I did NOT sit on the outside. I got off that coaster weak kneed. We looked at Orion and found every excuse not to go on it aside admitting we didn't have the nerve any longer. Rode Banshi once more and went home. I know what you mean
man.

The car sounds like a nice deal. Hate to see you give it up. Love the color. Someone will get a great package deal there.
