went to music city raceway last night first pass was best 8.32 @ 81mph got to learn how much boost without spinning off the line

Kentucky> I'm 80 miles South of BG, Kentucky It's the closer 1/4 Track, next is Huntsville, AL.

got fuel>> heading to Bowling Green Saturday !!!!! gotta do the 1/4 before tracks close

440 Source heads > when they first came out in 08 No plans to cool> only run it 1/8th mile maybe a few 1/4 mile @ bowling green Trying to keep it simple

someone asked if the Satellite was in a plane? >>>sort of It's a section of DC-10 ( my Plain Shop) 28' x 40'

yea, I want the 540 engine to breathe had to move the Master cylinder over/ the brake assembly by swapping sides the manifolds fit better, even thought about a twin turbo set-up 25+ boost on the Satellite

reactions were all over the place due to runnin blind > no tach I also think, I may need a higher stall All I could do was push it til the rear wheels slightly turned, while staging...lol to get a decent reaction time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atxQ3NfbC2U

so changes had to be made a change of valve springs, while the turbo and plumbing was out of the way and a gear change > 3.73 spool, 35 spline axles best is 9.33 @ 72.43 have to much advance, and forgot to crank up the fuel as you can tell from the video at the beginning of this...

I bought it at Northern Tool it's universal, I use it for my dodges make working on the underside so much easier 70 Dart 72 Dart

I'm looking for a Tachometer of course I don't have any of the proper wiring. It's hard to cut a light not knowing what the RPM's are What's available Thanks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2hRob-jgnQ

TRUE but, the tracks around here are closed for the season got to keep the engines from freezing during the winter..... come spring I'll drain, save antifreeze. refill with water..

MLee got it gunning checked the rad. wow, not even half of the radiator was warm, the drivers upper side, still stone cold, i'll make some changes this winter Man, gonna take some getting use to, seems strange hearing the Cummins vs BB stroker really climbs rpm's quick with the pump gear...
