With a 302?????
Jerry |
I'll bite.
Is that the 302 running that time? How much NOS, or what size blower? I'll bet it wasn't the Cobra. If it was, I'll take some lessons from ya. |
Its called the Cobra Destroyer. 2 cylinders,175 horsepower. No NOS,No Blower. We have gone as quick as 9.61sec in 1/4 mile on a good NHRA track.
The Excalibur Cobra it ain't. Under 10 sec requires a NHRA license which i have. |
very nice. What is it a bike?
|
Well let me recount the day at our shop---Corey is tuning the electronics on a Camaro that we built a motor for--everything went well there except the guy blew the trans on his way home
Working on Warren and Judy's car with the rear wheels off and several potential riders came by but couldn't take it out Lowell has the rear end out of his and it was his first visit-- Ralphie drives his Red car down with the sidepipes on it, borrows some wrenches and takes off the mufflers, installs the shorty turnouts and terrorizes the neighborhood----they seem to make a tremendous difference--look for him to improve his times by a lot About 20 minutes after he leaves, Bid Al shows up with his Blue car, again first visit, and we show him around the shop--Corey took some nice photos of Ralpies Red Snake and Big AL Snake cars Expecting Chris in a day or so and Bob's yellow car by Friday ( Or sooner) Maybe John Murphy FFR next week Hopefully finish wARREN'S job up by the week end I don't think I ever ran a 10 second run Jerry |
Me neither, YET.......................................
Hopefully in May See you later today guys. |
Jerry, weren't all your cars faster than 10 seconds?
|
My 59 ford wasn't. but most of the otherts were
With the warmer weather the number of people wanting to drive Warren's car is falling off--they all want to drive there own--imagine that--but Warren still wants to drive his--soon,real soon Jerry |
I just got back from Claytons a little while ago...
Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet? From what it sounds like I'm going to need spare underwear in the trunk at all times. Many words like freight train, pulling the skin off your face, pucker, Holy sh...., All descriptions of the upcoming power for the blue car. By the way, Ralph, I heard your car. You are sick........What, I can't hear anymore. |
Well, I sure got the $5 tour. Very impressive. Thanks again, Jerry and Corey!
Yeah: I don't want the same trouble with my rear end that Wolfie had with his! :o Ralph...Jeez...I thought there was a thunderstorm coming out of the east on my way home! :LOL: Chris...That 4 cylinder with the turbo is going into your car? :eek: Lowell |
Hey, The four cylinder is an upgrade from what I had.
|
Sounds like we are going to have the best times at Byron yet. **)
Move over Ralphie, had the same idea. Sounds like pro stock. :eek: |
DId you do that too Jeff?
|
I was going to do dumps, but they hung down too low. Just flange the pipe between the the muffler and the collector and fish mouth a stainless steel elbow. Marty and Sid may remember what it sounded like the first time started.
|
I also must say that I could not have done hardly any of my winter to-do list if it were not for Bud's generosity of offering me his shop and expertise over the last several weeks. After building some 14 experimental airplanes you gain a lot of very cool tools and experience. Put that together with a pretty salty sheet metal worker and we can do a few things. :JEKYLHYDE
FYI...look out for another fast cobra with the wrong color. Hopefully we can get enough miles on it before Byron. He understands computers like I understand women so he will not see this, but he is a real gent (with an ever so slight ornery streak) :D |
Jeff
What flanges did you ise? |
Quote:
Lowell |
I am using a home made 3 bolt so the flange would not be square.
|
We used the V-band type clamp and rings in stainless--I welded them on the inside so it didn't effect the chrome on Ralph's pipes--turnouts we used a 4 in radius 3" ss 180 degree and cut off each side to make two pipes--
Boy were his side pipes restricted--looked like about an 1 and 1/2 pipe Jerry |
Vrrrooooooooooooom!
I wanted to be the first one on my block with REALLY loud pipes!**)
Well since my secret is out, here is Clayton's handywork! |
