I have only had experience with the old art carr to get into the tens.Worked fine but had to hit fourth gear with a 26 by 9 inch slick and stock cammed motor.The art carr is light,and increases the throttle response greatly,also takes load off the crank.Jim:)

My buddy runs 83lbs injectors,stock mass,modded ecm, reds 106 chip,runs fine.Drives it 90 miles one way to the track.Cranks out mid 6's at 106 in the eight.No quarter mile et yet.:)

8x26 tires?I think you are ready for some taller tires.Jim

Thanks for the replies guys.Jim:)

I need to know if there is a better heli core out there besides the one that you normaly get.I have stripped out the block threads for one of the head bolts.I originaly had the pep boys heli core in there but now it won't hold.Pulling the motor is my last resort,thanks Jim:(

If it is pump area that is easy to see if you pull the shield off.These trannys leak from the overflow tube on the top of the tranny.The tube faces the ditch side of the tranny just above the lines.Mine would puke out after a burn out.I had to stuff rags up there to keep it off the track.This...

Your tires are killing you!They are too big for your combo.You need a 26 inch tire.I've seen it first hand,the big tire requires much more power.A friend running 11.70s tried this same tire from a 26x9 mickey and lost 2/10s.I personally run a 26 and have run 10.98 with it but feel now I need the...

You need more power,unfortunatly you may blow the nittos off around the 100 ft mark when you hit full boost.I have achieved 7 teens in the 1/8 with them when the track and launch were right,1.790 60ft,the car is a 10.90s car though.:) Jim

I have about 2 k street miles,fourty 1/8 mile passes,four 1/4 mile passes,at 24 lbs boost and the pt 52 is still intact.Car runs 7.0s in the 1/8,and ran 10.98 in the qt.Jim:)

The problem is that there is not much meat on the rod journals.Many have done it,probably be fine for 500 engine hp.:)

Yes a bad selnoid can cause this.Bad ecm also,best way to check is to disconnect the hose from the actuater and test.Be very carefull, the boost may run wild!If it does start to lift! It is one of the two for mentioned.Jim:)

This can be done with the motor in the car.You can buy the heli core kit from any parts store,just duct tape the cylinders so you don't get any fragments from tapping in there.Why were you backing off the head bolt after tightening?

Way to much turbo and not enough injector for the turbo.Requires 4000 stall convertor.:eek:

Sounds like a nice mill,what cam profile are you going to run?Roller or flat tappet?Jim:)
