I am keeping my chin up and trying to look at this last episode as good luck lol! If that valve dropped on the track I would have lost the entire motor the fact that it happened idling on the lift and caused no significant damage saved my season this year. Believe it or not a lot of this is...

Heat Gun I only have corded, cordless are not worth it Angle grinder I have both but the corded one is the go to for big jobs and cutting Small shop vac I would keep corded, I considered the cordless but can't see it keeping up. All my die grinders are corded or pneumatic. I may try a cordless...

It has been a long ride on the struggle bus and it just keeps rollin....... I got the motor out and apart Feb 13th and didn't get the head back on the car fixed until the beginning of this month. The area was so thin everything we did just made it worse. The first attempt to weld it just made...

Cool project I love Audi's I've had several B5 S4' and really miss my Turbo 5cyl DAZA! Right now I am Audi'less but that may change soon. I kind of skimmed the thread but as far as your miss goes, if you are suspecting a cam or crank signal you ECU masters Black should have a way to make a...

I plan to have it back together very soon and to knock out all the other little things that need addressed. The Buick Nats are in May and I will be able to really shake things out there. Drag Week registration opens 2-24 and I am going to try and sign up. The race is in September and gives me...

We started dealing with the issue before we even left. We were right that It is oil in the intake track and not an issue with the cyl. I suspected possibly the #3 injector wiped out rings BUT it had 93% on a cold leakdown and 175psi cranking compression. If it was an oil control ring...

Good News: We made it to Sick Week We passed Tech for 7.50 for run group A We made a pass on race day Car still runs, is shiney and in one piece Bad News I am home typing this post! Well we thought we had the issue with #3 sorted out before we left but that wasn't the case and in the end the...

Thanks guys, yes its coming together but still fighting me all the way! Dusty and PTC really nailed on the converter. I still have to see how it acts on the track as it is usually different than the dyno but this was a hub dyno and is supposed to be pretty damn close. Racepak has a...

Just a quick update. We leave Thurs to start testing in Orlando and will be there for the Cadillac Attack the following weekend before Sick Week starts on the 28th. Still thrashing and sorting issues which seems never ending with a new build. We did make it back to the dyno on Saturday with...

How did your Methanol VR6 turn out?

Thanks, we figured we would see something like a mis-fire on the dyno and never saw anything to suggest it was blowing out the spark. Its just a theroy BUT my buddy Dusty at PTC told me he had the same issue with his BBC with a 118mm turbo. He was stuck at 157mph in the 1/8 no matter what he...

Happy New Year everyone! Well it has been 21 months since we tore the car apart and started this project and we are in the final stages and it is starting to come around. The first trip to the dyno ended with the fuel pump blowing its lid, literally. Once I got the car home and tore it apart...

Well Dyno did not go well. We got it set up and ran the car making progress with cleaning up the base fuel map and cleaning up some drive-ability issues. Before making our first pull we decided to check and see if the fuel pump was activating on high. The fuel pump is a 5gpm in tank...

Very nice, wiring looks great too. I really over complicated mine with the Smartwire, I sometimes think a basic street relay board would have been easier but the Racepak has other benefits too.

That's super cool, I would love to do that some day. Frank is a super guy, he actually appolgized to me after the class for being so hard on me, I told him no need that's what its about I came to learn and I did!

I thought it was funny too, my Ford salesman didnt when I sent it to him and said I needed a Chevy to get home lol!! They all break down, here is Ray to the rescue again in 2008 when my Duramax injectors **** the bed and the dealer in Columbus tried screwing me on the warranty repair. You...

Lol, everything with how that class is set up is well thought out by Frank and meant to get in your head. He had us seated in U shaped table which I had come to figure out was based on your experience. This put me at #1, I had to go first in the #1 door car and I was also the first video to...

It does, Frank's cars go low 1.20's in the 60 which plants you pretty good in the seat but they are extremely easy to drive. What makes the course interesting and challenging is Frank puts you in a car you've never been in and in a psychologically challenging environment. If you can't follow...

I bought a 20v conv kit and had 3 20v batteries two are dead one will only charge to three bars and last maybe 10 minutes and it has very little use. I have both a Dewalt and Makita grinders and the Makita will run circles around the DeWalt in battery life with a 20v battery. I actually have...

My charger died today so I went to HF and bought the Cen-tech which is on sale for $119 if you are an member. So far so good it does all the things you are looking for. Probably no worse than a Schumacher...
