Spud Miller's Cave / Re: lost my tune up
« on: March 11, 2015, 08:18:40 PM »
What are you using for and ignition? Do you now what the pump flows? Not advertised but from having it flowed? What pump is it?
If you know the fuel system is functioning and you have a tune-up you know goes 7.50 and you have made two big main fuel changes and it does not improve 90% it is a bad ignition. I chased a 3 tenths slow problem for two races...I tried everything...including checking the cam timing. Finally I threw on the spare Super Mag III from spud ...put the original tune up in and went right back to where it belonged.
Hope this helps.....

Drag Racing / Re: Which data logger for a FED?
« on: March 04, 2015, 07:47:09 PM »
I don't tune with my RPM data recorder. I use more for preventive maintenance. EGTs for big changes in a cylinder that needs to be looked at.....oil pressure for a drop/change that needs to be looked at...fuel pressure for a change that needs to be looked at....RPM and traction curves... ect. There is only my wife and me so the recorder really makes running the car easier plus it is fun to look at !!!!!!!
The RPM unit does that for us at a reasonable cost.

OK Bruce....I must be missing something here......
on NHRA racer.com
2014 Rule book sec20, body7.1 lists the new regs. (6" struts only)
2014 to 2015 amendments lists nothing pg31
2014 general regs. 12/11/2013 to 1/10/2014 lists the same paragraph as 2014 rule book (6 struts only).
So what exactly is NHRA telling us?
I don't have any issues here because I already remounted mine to fit the new rule. But I do have other racers asking me about this issue and I want to make sure of the facts.
Thanks,
Steve
ps I think Mike thinks the rule is 6" struts because he is taking his wing off.

I just went to NHRAracer.com and looked at the 2014 to 2015 rule changes as of 10/30/14 and I don't see any reference to the wing mount issue. Did they drop the rule? maybe next year?

Rampy has small adjustable "visors" mounted to each side of the car that he positions to block the tree. Keeps the helmet field of vision open.
