I love it when it pulls down and then the floor, walls and windows vibrate OH and the smell!!! ..I miss dyno days

Nice job bro--that is certainly stout fo shizzle! Can't wait to here that bad mama in the car at an event.

D

Weld called and told me I better use multi-quote...

Yeah nothing like seeing your :G-Dub: being pulled to 7500 right before your eyes. Well this cam is pretty small and I really was never planning to rev it past 7000, but I guess 7200-7300 is in order now.

Handful is right.... I can always throw a cam/rocker/carb change in it and hit 900. Like I need that.

200 will be indeed interesting... I will probably get some Rivals since they carry my sizes for RTTC... but will start out with my Hoosier scrubs. A6.

Thanks Ron!

a. I forgot what Mike said on this, but Rob reminded me, that A & B are primary and secondary fuel flow readings... he knows where he wants them and said these #'s were right there

b. I will have to ask him this... how can you tell they are using Fuel B?

c. No EGT and no O2. I will have O2 bungs welded into my collectors for in car gauge

d. Nope. He liked it where it was he said.

e. No, he just played with the ide mixture screws (they were bottomed out as delivered I guess)

As you can tell, Mike doesn't like to spend a lot of time tuning on the dyno. His philosophy is to get it running safe, make sure no leaks/issues, and pull it off and do the tuning in the car.

Yep, he tunes on BSFC and said he knows what he is looking for. He liked it a little rich here.

He said there is more power in it also. He also said I could take it somewhere else in the Bay Area (Top of the Hill, Panella, etc) and it would hit 830+ hp. He said Pro Stock motors are 100 hp down on his dyno and mine is prolly 40-50 down. I don't really care. (Ok yes I do - I wish it hit 800 :D) But you get the point.

And you nailed it... this is as much power as I need... for now. :)


That is a great use of the youtubage there Ron.... am I still part of the Rontourage? :hitaxeonthehead:

Yes sir... 800 woulda been nice but it's all good.

Rear gear is 3.64 to start.

Like my old 95 Z28. lol

Been a long day... I should sleep well.. but I probably won't.

That's a fun time ain't it? Slightly nerve racking though. :wacko:

Like I told you earlier... 2nd place ain't too bad here. That make ya feel any better? :lol:

Thanks Doc.... RTTC2014 here we come.... just keep that drag car away from me and don't steal my thunder. :bigun2:

Oh yeah can't wait to hear that motor rev up in the car.
It's going to sound so good bouncing off the rev limiter.

Pretty amazing numbers Dave :thumbsup:

I'm going to play "Mother" now, is your roll cage and safety equipment equal to what you're creating?

You're not in the pro-tinkering or pro-touring class anymore.

Additional Gussets and X-bracing?

Hopefully we keep it under 7400 this time. Unless you are working that corner I might raise it just for you Bob.

Fair question and I've been planning for safety upgrades since last year. I already have a fairly complete stout cage. The only thing needed to really "complete" is an under dash bar and then tying in the front down bars to that. I am working with Brett on a plan to try to do that. It's not for certain but I'd like to.

6 nozzle Fire suppression already purchased last year.
6 point camlock harnesses purchased recently.
Sparco suit, gloves, boots
CarbonX long sleeve shirt and underwear
Nomex socks and head sock
HJC helmet

Might do some A pillar gussets too. I'd like to.


I think I am doing pretty good.... you guys should go work on Gaetano now. :angel: :D

I FIXED IT FOR YOU!!! :guns: Don't worry Gae's gona get a talking to too :buttkick:

I don't think his motor is as capable of inducing the caliber of cartwheels your's could. :sieg:

Both of you have probably exceeded the performance levels of '68-'70 era Trans Am cars and you're exceeding the current Vintage Trans Am car performance level..........I'd be looking at the level cages the vintage boys are running and see what you can realistically adapt to BMF V.2.

I am completely in support of what you are doing and don't want to sour the hype of this moment in any way as the car is over the top impressive to me.......but you've somewhat built the perfect storm with the new grip and horsepower levels...........your safety is more important to me than the car. :thumbsup:

Sincerely,
Momma Sieg

Holy Hell!! How the hell am I supposed to compete with that!!

Leave it to Dave to make me go out and spend more money now :bang: :lol:

At least you won't get thoroughly embarrassed.....my car on the other hand is in the garage :underchair: whimpering and shaking. :D

Congrats Dave!... That is one awesome engine you've built :thumbsup:

:cheers:

lateral-g

Dave congratulations on a killer combo, sounds fantastic.

Pretty frickin Cool.!!!!!!!!!!Wouldn't mind doin SB2.2 in a project someday.Sound's awesome.Look's like this Thread could pass Payback shortly.Might have to figure a way come too the west for RTTC.:hail:

OK, ENGINE IS DONE...MORE UPDATE PICS OF THE OF THE CAR !!!! :hello:

HANS is also on the shopping list too. I forgot to add that. :thumbsup:

I appreciate it, Momma, but if you look around our site, I have more safety items (on the car and on person) than 95% of those running. And I am adding more.... I'm serious about it and heading in the right direction.

And Gaetano is damn fast for a pretty simple setup. I think 140 on the straights that he can hit is enough to do cartwheels -- isn't any caliber of cartwheel bad on a track? :mock:

You aren't. :lol:

Come on out and play. The driver is the X factor no? :sieg:

Thank you. I just got in the way... it would have been built faster and cheaper had I stayed out of it. :lol:
I did learn a hell of a lot though.

I can't wait! I am thinking some of your 4130 magic is in order... :stirthepot:

Thank you sir!

Scott, get your butt out here. Payback? I have enough trouble keeping up with RonInSocal for President 2016. :waveflag:

Can I get a couple weeks please? :drowninga:

Are you going to repaint the car RED!!!!!!!

should I start wiping down that stroker LS7 in the shed? I think you should be fine as long as you stay ahead of all the tire smoke (jet wash) LOL

twin halo funny car style!!!!!!

Did you take the engine home with you??

99.8% of the cars on the site don't have your power to weight ratio and aren't capable of the level of grip. :action-smiley-027:

Personally I really like the spectacular cartwheels that the driver walks away from. :mock:

:snapout:
To a degree.......getting gapped 8-10 car lengths on the straight lap after lap makes it tough. The way I see it given enough laps is I'd have two reasonable chances against you. 1) You run out of fuel. 2) You run the rear tires to the cords.
:thumbsup:

Endurance? sieg...

Are you dropping in the car? at your home or down in the South Bay? ya gottal be itchin to drive that baby!!! I'm droolin just watchin....

Nah...I'm gonna wait and see how things play out............H.P. will help him at T-Hill but wont be a big threat at Sonoma. Regardless, I'm still going to tuck away a few horsepower bones just in case :relax:

That's not the worst idea I ever heard. :D But I really like the Viper blue paint that came with the car. And it's pretty decent considering it's nearing 15 years old.

Nope. Engine and car are waiting to be picked up by the Fab man... Fab53 that is... he is coming up soon. :thumbsup:

Those sound like positives for me, yes? :RunninDog:

That sounds like another good thing for me. :D

No, still lots of fab work to do up and down the car. I have neither the skills nor the tools to do it myself. So it's heading south to Long Beach to the new Fab53 shop to finish her up. I am stoked to be one of Brett's first customers in his new venture. :thumbsup:

Will I be a threat in the parking lot when you set up your skidpad? :lol:

Having a mental flashback to arcade days where the only way to keep up and win the racing game was to keep hitting the "NOS" button and hope you dont run out.

SWEET!!! Maybe I'll sneak on down there for a peak!!!

SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH !!:secret:

BMF BLUE CREW

I couldn't tell ya....I dont do cone zones :lol:

Yes but things happen fast with high grip and horsepower..........



...........and those guys have state of the art traction control and I don't want to see you holding a yard sale anytime soon. :D

Oh man...that's a GW :weld: stage 3 whacking!


:lol:


Jerdog, is that you in there? :shakehead:

:hello: sigh...




:D

I left out option 3) Pull over in on escape road and wait, then pull out in front and block him like Big Wanda. :unibrow:

I love you man!!!



HAHAHAHAHA

Badass numbers Dave!!

Will have to swing by Brett's new shop for a tour when you get your car down here.

I just hope you have figured out how to continue running the boom tube exhaust with the new motor and chassis :) That would be music to my (bleeding) ears!

Great numbers, congrats!!

Ok fine let's meet at Adams in the spring for their big autocross without cones? That better? :D

I am listening... what would you have me do that is not already done or in process?

:lol:

Thanks Chadwick... Brett and I talked about the boomtube and we are committed to making it work.. or at least the majority of it. I have added a little something to tone down the note just a tad... but not too much. :)

Your first track day with that beast is going to be at Adams? Boy, you'll really going to get a chance to stretch her legs their :lol:

Just kiddin' Bro........we're going to have some good times when she's done :thumbsup:

I never said it'd be my first track day. :computer: I think a good first track day might be Willow Springs after Brett is done with it... I like the Extreme Speed group and have run with them twice before down there.

And good times are brewin I agree. :D

All I can say is I cant wait to see that beast run. She's going to be meaner than a junk yard dog :yes: :cheers:

Thanks SW... pretty pedestrian numbers for you. :D
