nah, i'm going to run the 40's first
Gee Frosty....it's only set to 2500rpm
don't know what it will go to now with the heavier springs.....
Just got home.... 4 runs and progressivly quicker with each run i'm down to 14.43 at 93.3 MPH don't know what the 60f 1/8 was cos the dick in the commodore must have taken the time slip (smoked him and he took the evidence) not to bussy out there either.
I think it might be time for a Bigger Cam.
PS thanks for your help too Dave B👍👍
9mph and a whole second improvement!!!!
Nice wrk dude.
not bad for a 1775cc engine with an engle 100 and 40mm carbs!!

great work frosty! good to hear you are upsetting the commodore crew...
Bring on the 13!!
Mate can't wait for a 13. ( didn't think I would even get into the 14's) I really need a close ratio box cause it dies heavily going from 3rd to 4th but it will do for the moment. My times were
r/t .011 60' 2.21 1/8 9.614 1/4 15.166 at 88.71mph
r/t .114 60' 2.15 1/8 9.516 1/4 14.997 at 89.65mph
r/t .053 60' 2.09 1/8 9.462 1/4 14.922 at 88.76mph
stolen time slip 1/4 14.43 at 93.3 mph
( last run with the fan belt off).
I'm out there again on Wed Feb 10th ( Can't help myself..)
10min away from Willobank this arvo and they cancelled the TNT..........( they send you a text to say the weather was no good) I couldn't wait to cane the guts out of it again and was crushed. oh well back to the shed
Bummer dude, at least the car is ready 👍

OK, its time for a new Cam I'm going for a W130 and still going to run the 1.25 rockers, next run will be Gunnadah all going well.
Well done, nice times and cool car.
T54
C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.
OK i have the CAM in ( W130, thanks CT) just have to test the valve's won't hit tomorrow, i think it will be ok..... Not going to bother putting the tinwear back on cause it is only getting a couple of runs. I think this will be the most I can get out of it before spending some serious cash. From here I will go to Gunnadah for the 1/8 and one more trip to willobank for another tnt. I'm still running the std box and i am saving for a new one, that will be later in the year and all going well for Warwick.
Good work Frosty.

Found the problem from Gunnedah, the Valve with its collets on has pulled through the Retainer. The Valve has hit the top of the piston and bent it. the guide is rooted and the valve seat has been hit a few times and also has had it. It could be a quik fix and next time out I will have a rev limiter.
Bad luck Frosty. Long way to go for that.
I think a rev limiter will help in your case..👍
Hi Stanley, I thought it was a short trip to get a ride in Dave's car, I would drive a lot further for the next one. ( I live in hope)
Bummer mate.
Rev limiter and moly retainers.

whats the results from the TNT??
BEING ASPIRATED FEELS GREAT BUT BEING BLOWN TAKES THING TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL....
Result is another fix job on the engine.....Not sure what it is but bit of a knocking sound....enough that i put it on the trailer after two runs.
1st run
.252 60" 1.926 1/8 8.963
@74.58 mph 1/4 14.248
@91.35 fastest run ever. and again it died into 4th
2nd run tried to get off the line in 3rd gear ( what a dickhead).
.373 60" 3.167 1/8 10.317
@74.04 mph 1/4 15.602
@91.49
The engine sounded great to start with but i will have to get a rev limiter.... I'll go back to a 009 with a limiter rotor in it.
14.24@91mph!
Thats flying now!
The 8.96@74.58 is lso awesome!
Stock valve 1775cc!

I found the Knock, it was two loose nuts on one of the rods. I will drop some new bearings in and i'm off again.
