Ryan, why in Gods name did you delete my posts from this thread? I backed out of the pissing contest long before it got all heated up, and was...
I've done just about everything you can do with a Nitro Hemi, but my new car is being built around a blown Nitro Wedge. It's something I've been...
An honor to have you here among us, welcome to the HAMB!
Rule of thumb is double the volume from gasoline to alcohol, and then double it again for nitro. The optimum amount of lead you can run is more...
Cliff, you sir, are a man that towers above the herd! Thank you for sharing. I've had a few friends that have had similar experiences and made...
I have fixed stuff like that...and it's alot easier than you might think. I would stick a lifter in the hole, and then GAS WELD, using a plain...
My Old Pig Ain't Runnin Welcome to the dark side man...the Mopar thing is a total sickness.
I used an alky system to warm on for a while, but found that I could build enough heat through bottle feeding the hat through a small orifice...
You're way off man...I've warmed dozens of fuel engines hundreds to times on straight pump gas fed from a squirt bottle. Alky takes too long to...
You're correct about the "class rules", but we're not talking about running any specific class. Strictly test and tune or exhibition. Tech at...
There are a bunch of outlaw tracks around here that could care less what you had in the tank. Buffalo Valley is less than an hour from Nashville...
I'm thinking earlier than that...probably late 85.
Y'know, that was always my favorite. I wrote it in one shot, in about four hours...and was really proud of it. I handed it in with my byline,...
Looking at the pics, and going by the intent of the rule, the crossmember that the steering shaft passes through should be all that is needed....
Needs a cigar hanging out of his mouth.....
Welcome from Murfreesboro. If you're ever up this way, swing by THE GRIND coffeehouse and have a cup on me.
I think that at the end of the Stromberg Nitro era, the trick was to overpower the needle and seat with fuel pressure and have it flood over via...
Roo, you have no idea what kind of closet Slant freak I am! Do you recall what kind of numbers this car ran?
Post some pics...I can probably come pretty close to IDing that car. That final at Indy was where he almost choked to death on a piece of gum he...
See, that's all awesome stuff...the ART of drag racing. I've always said, it's not how fast you go, it's how you go fast.
Roo, you guys had the coolest shit in the world down there. Any other info or pics on this set-up? What kind of injectors are those? Oh, and...
I'm in...eight cars total, every one of them a Plymouth
I'm all about the torch.
I was thinking exactly the same thing
None...it's supposed to be a freaking Hot Rod. I understand Volvo wagons have a ton of the stuff.
This place is just too freaking awesome....just had to say that.
A true hot rod is never actually finished......
Dude, could you imagine how insanely bad ass the machinery would be if the Chinese youth put their cultural spin on the American Hot Rod? There...
Tell ya what needs to be done in order to really kick start things over there. Somebody needs to work with the government and put on an...
I've been thinking about China for a while now. I'm willing to bet that over the next couple of years the desire and market for traditional...
