Yea know More Power, More Tires, More Brakes and Less Weight.......

I'll post a update later.. Working on getting Red Devil ready for SEAM and OUSCI. It is the '67 in the background being worked on at Sled Alley.



I changed the brakes out to Stop Techs. We rebalanced the caliper pistons in the calipers to better optimized brake balance. The brake feel is great and with a more reliable ABS set up my braking distances are coming down.





I sorted out my clutch issue that I was fighting at Heidts and LSFest. After some research there is a 0.065 restrictor in the clutch hyd. line.

I remember an old article Jeff Smith did and looked it up.

After that modification and a good brake bleed the trans / clutch are working great. It is a mix of OE and modified OE stuff. Working with 800 ft*lbs and trying to road race, drag race and street drive required a little sorting out.

The car ships today for “out West” for Pre-SEMA stuff then it will go straight to SEMA so this weekend was my last chance to tune on Red Devil prior to OUSCI. I think this year’s competition will be very tough. I added a bit more power, retuned the shocks, better ABS and rebalance brakes. I tweaked the areas I could for the event so now will have to wait until Nov. to see how it shakes out.
