Well took the car out to the dealership with the 406 Monster under the hood for the last time. :sad:

Dismantled it and its ready to pull out already! Amazing how fast you can pull a tranny, remove all the engine goodies, ect after doing a zillion times.

Should be another interesting winter of engine building going on. Need something to get through the cold winter months and get the blood pumping come spring!

Here is to a good year of racing and having a great motor to run this past summer. : By far the best motor I have ever had the opportunity to sit behind the wheel of. :cheers:

Thanks Cork for the help on it :cheers: :cheers YOU THE MAN! :smash: :thumbs: :steering:

 

Here's to you Jesse, for all your help as well :cheers: And here's to another winter of building another monster :cheers: Have fun! :chevy

 

What's the plan?

 

Thanks Brad...

Strick, not yet concrete....but expect something ungodly to be unvailed :rofl:

 

hm. 30 psi?

heh heh heh

 

:eek: Only 30? Why not 50? :D

 

good point. why must I so limit my thinking. :rolleyes:

 

Sooooooooooooooooo, Whats next?
Thanks
tony
:flag

 

:cheers:
I am already drooling at what may be in the works.... :reddevil

 

Jesse & Corky,

Does that mean you're not coming down to M-D this weekend to race? :jester

Gonna' miss seeing you guy's down here, hurry back :cheers:

Keep me informed over the winter, if the weather is OK I'll be back out this weekend w/Diacom,
Dave :thumbs:

 

Dave,

yeah sorry. Have to cater to the fella with the cash for the engine. I would have really liked to have run it one more time, with an MSD on it to see if that really is the difference between Cork's car and mine. Oh well as I said it was a fun and exciting year of racing. Only HAD to get trailered home once from a broken shifter cable. 20 dollar repair. Sure pays to build them right to begin with.

That is what scares me about next year. There will be a few HUGE $$ question marks...Tranny and Rear. But as they say, you play-you pay. :cheers:

Good luck this weekend. I would come down to help you out, but I have my other two kids this weekend and Sunday I have to be ready to take the motor to Jersey.

Instructions: Play with your fuel till you get around 820 mv (in 3rd gear). If its greater than 820mv reduce the pressure, if its lower increase pressure.

Once you get the 820 mv, make a base pass. Then adjust the base timing 2* up or down an if you see a gain in either direction, keep moving that way till the MPH drops back off. Then go back to the setting that yielded the best MPH. Bingo that is your best base timing. I dialed my car in earlier in the year like that in about 5 runs. After or dueing the timing changes, again check for ~820 MV and make ~2psi adjustments to dial that in.

Remember <820mv lean & >820 mv rich

base timing that yield best MPH is best!

That chip should be within 2* of being on for timing. So you should not need to move it much at all.

Also I wanted to mention to you that my dad's car earlier in the year had a high end miss. Turned out it was the button inside the cap, that teh rotor turns on. When you would take it off and look up in there everything looked great. Then one day it fell out. Here it was cracked through horizontaly up past where the plastic is, so it looked OK. Changed that out and all has been good. You may Dave, just want to get a new cap to eliminate the HEI coil and the cap all together. Also I have hear that the MSDs, if they are not compatable with the Rotor buttons will cause this problem. Scorp I believe was blowing them up, they have too much resistance and the heat pops them.

Check it out, I want to see a 9 sec run off that this this year. If that doesn't work, strap the refrigerator on the roof as we discussed earlier! :jester :cheers: :thumbs:

 

Jesse,
Are you planning on staing with the Dana 44 and 700R? I just wounder about a stronger set up than you are running now with those two items left in the mix.

 

:eek: Can't waite to see what rolls out next year !! Thanks for your help :thumbs:
:cheers:

 

Jesse, just a note of thanks for all your posts, you are a wealth of information. looking forward to the new post's on your new set up.

 

Lookin' forward to your threads this winter. Just be sure to keep us up-to-date on your project.

 

no problem jesse are you ready for round two :cheers:

 

Damn your good, talkin the wife into two motors in two years. What does she get, 1 Karat per 100 cubic inches?

And yeah, thanks for all the help over the last year. I look forward to seeing your new project develop.

I'm guessing your 406 motor is going to end up under the hood of a red vette...

 

Gee, life must be rough for you! :D :lol:

 

It's like we are right there with ya. It was sure great reading all the updates thru the year. What will become of the SR? The SP? The 195's?

 

Central, its all a grand illussion. :crazy:

Ski, start them off right and its not a problem. She said she wanted a diamond ring, and I said with all this motor work ahead...not sure if I can swing it. :jester :lolg: :as he leaves for the jewlers:

89 Paul,
I will keep you all in the loop for sure! Its fun reporting the progress etc and getting feedback and helping others.

The SR is sold as are the AFR 190s, not 195s. They were bought some time ago by forum member mistaben, then I had my "testing the waters" post on here before I tested out the single plane intake. He has been waiting ever so patiently for them...So off to Arizona they go next week to a new home. :cheers:

Stay tuned for more to come! :thumbs: :lurk:
