Event Coverage Welcome to the 2017 Meltdown Drags

I think he is going to open the upper plenum so the shear plates I mailed him will fit.
Something like this but more old school.

 

Here what they look like.

 

Do you run the longer tubes in the center of the ram or at the ends ?

 

They would go on to match the angle of the base of the carb as it sets on the manifold.

 

We're right there with ya James!

 

School me on this, is this to make the ram plenum smaller and have a faster more direct airflow ?

 

The idea is to help stop any reversion in the intake from reaching the base of the carb.

 

Man Norb Scott sure got your gears turning now...... A'int scared are you?

 

Ya they are spinning, like learning new stuff.

Ain't Scared Just going a different route.

 

I see....the shear plates wont help if you like dropping thing down the carbs.

 

Norb, is that the anti-washer screen?

 

center squirters are fun. I bet the screen will reduce total flow by 20 percent for one carb. then multiply that times two. that's some big wire. I know a guy at Donovan engineering that did flow tests on Stromberg 97s with screens on them. the screens he was using were much finer wire. that's the figure he recorded.

 

The 1/8" screen keeps me from dropping my carb nuts down the intake, also should keep the Mustang parts from getting sucked down the intake.
By the time the doors blow off, it will happen be behind me.

Idea came from Tuning a Tunnel Ram / Grumpys Performance Garage site.

Not been to the track yet, want to test with screens and with out screens to see how much top end mph changes.

Air/fuel ratio is good at slow speeds, Got a slight bog when you mash it from dead idle but that might be gone when
up on the converter.

Have changed to center hung bowls with track floats since that photo.

 

You do have a lot of space for a/f to brake up.....I will be watching.
I try not to drop things....but only on Mondays I can't hang on to anything.....must be why my back hurts on Tuesday.

 

You guys are making me want to show up with my new intake now.
Just may have to try it on the old heap.

 

Anybody live close to manhattan Kansas? Shes all ready the first pass

Chrome don't get ya home

 

technical question for you guys...

Serious question...does anyone see any issues mounting a 9 inch pie crust slick on a 7 inch wheel?

Also, does all of this horsepower making hocus pocus matter when the Shaker hasn't made a complete pass since 2014? Just asking for friend...

 

Jeff no worries with a 9" pie crust slick on a 7" wheel it will be just fine ran that same setup on my afx dart

Chrome don't get ya home

 

Thank you Jackson...I thought it would be okay, but I know there are a lot of smart guys on here that can either correct me or give me piece of mind.

Thank you.

 

What is that screen material? - where did you get it?

 

What's the plan? Easy does it or full out and see if we can get kicked out for too fast with out the right safety equipment!

I'll send a little video of the car,and how much difference the hocus pocus makes....
I'm just worried the shock towers are gonna buckle if it keeps doing this.[emoji15]

Let's just say it works pretty good,and you might wanna buy a couple more pullies if you wanna run with us.[emoji41]

Gotta run,gonna be late for work if I don't hit the road.

Get him a good helmet and strap him in tight.

 

And don't drive faster than your guardian angle.

 

It might piss some people off... look closely if you don't notice.

Oh I'm not worried about him at all. It's will the pile all hold together?
