General BS forum I guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much.

If you want to talk about cars that you don't own. Here is the WORLD RECORD on a street tire. Using 434 cubes of ford power. Fed by a couple turbos.

Heck, I thought we were talking about cars we owned and actually streetable....

BTW, my car is STILL in the shop! After finding that the intake manifold bolt holes were drilled incorrectly, then the fix that World Products did on those holes looking like someone had done them in their basement, AND then finding a crack in the head casing surrounding an exhaust valve guide, I rejected that Warhawk engine completely. Luckily LME is biting the bullet on this one and building me a NEW engine. Just waiting for the RHS block to show up at LME so they can do their work on it. Been a damned long 5 months (!!) with my car tied up..........

Man, don't worry about it. It's all in fun anyway. Hell, I would LOVE to drive a car that could do the quarter under 7 seconds. I would probably be screaming just like I do when on a roller coaster....

Unbelievable as it may seem, my car is STILL in the shop.

From the last message to this one, I had to reject that original Warhawk engine because I found a crack in one of the heads around a valve guide and just decided (with all the other problems) that I didn't want this turkey in my car. So this latest engine is based on the RHS block and some other brand of heads (which look a LOT nicer) that I can't remember off hand. Of course, this all took substantial time to iron out.

Anyway, here's the latest video I took last week (Thursday - 07/29) of the "coming to life" of the engine. This is the second time it was started, but Wednesday the few times we tried it would rev up to around 3800 rpm before shutting it down. Come to find out that the throttle body is allowing way too much air through it at idle. So the guy working on it put on another throttle body that seemed to be indexed correctly and that fixed that particular problem You can hear at the end that the engine running away stopped when the other throttle body was put onto the intake. And you can see that the A/F ratio needs to be tweaked from the unburned gasoline coming out of the tailpipes..

We also found an oil leak that is coming from the camshaft position sensor. Short explanation is that the sensor had to be relocated from the rear or the block to the front, and then on top of that, RHS raised the camshaft higher off of the crank, so this was pretty much a custom job (yet again). Apparently LME welded a bung onto the timing chain cover, and for some dang reason the bung is too big for the sensor itself. Consequently the O-ring seal doesn't fit tight enough and oil is leaking around it. Still working on a solution to this right at the moment, but to say I am aggravated at yet another roadblock is a vast understatement. It's now been nine (9) months that my car has been in the shop!

Anyway, here's a video of that session starting the new engine up...

That sucks. My car hes been getting prepped for paint for 3 months now. He originally said it would be 2 weeks max. I have a different car now. I sold the other one. This is os faster than the last one and is all motor. Nitrous to be coming soon. Can't watch the video on the ship so I will try to remember tomorrow.
