Picked this up yesterday

Almost ready to fire the beyotch up after switching from gas

Hopefully will finish it up this week and go make some hits on it next saturday

....nice cant wait to the see the times

I can't wait to be back on the track again, last time was last july I think when I was thrown off the track for not having a cert'd chassis. Weather is supposed to be nice also.

Thats funny..I'd love to get tossed for going too fast.

and you may......

get some......

make sure that sucker is sealed up good.....

John,just curious on what a drum of methanol cost there?

$165 + tax

John Myrick wrote:$165 + tax

That's a pretty decent price, I paid 179 including taxes last year for VP and it went up to 199 this year.

only a couple places here to get it runs $200 a drum here for vp

Good grief that is cheaper per gallon that 93 pump gas around here. 93 is about $4.25 a gallon.

I paid 147.00 last spring here.

What compression are you guys running with this?

Jess

I'm running 10.5:1 for this season and next, then it will get a upgrade too 14:1

My 460 was 11.2 ran its beat times.on alky the 552 is 14.7 hope to find out here in a few weeks how it likes the alky deal

Got me thinking now. I have the stuff to do a 545 stroker but the pistons are flat tops. I thought that that would limit me to a large chamber head. But, if I could get Methanol cheaper than pump gas, I might go with a set of small chamber heads. It would open up my choices for heads a lot. According to Probe's website that would put me at about 13.5:1 with a 74cc head.

Jess

last drum I bought was 129.00 to my door

I'm going to check with Interstate to see if I'm able to purchase directly from them, they are almost local to me about 60-70 miles away

Actually no update, spent the day working on the car
Didn't make it to the track.

Today was the 1st time I fired the engine up with alky.....wooooow what a difference in the throttle response and sound. Oh and the burning of the eyes when you run this thing in a trailer
Still have a safety issue to work out. The knuckleheads that wired the car originally didn't wire the cut-off switch properly.
I have a alternator and when you kill the battery the engine is still running until you kill the ignition inside the car.......major safety issue for me.
Any help will be appreciated
Hopefully next weekend to the track

ALKY RULES

run the alt wire direct to the batt, thats a good way to smoke an msd box also with only the alt powering it.
