Re: Using a Vortec Engine in SyTy (was budget engine rebuild)

I just got done reading it all. I didnt realize there were more than 2 pages. Its bookmarked. I wonder if my 3k stall will be a problem? When Im launching as of now Im hitting 3300 RPM easily.

I might be a bit much, but I would get everything up an drunning and make an determination then. You at altitude, so what works for is different than someone at sea level. I have a 2800RPM 9/11 Converter, I think I could have it restalled atleast another 300 rpm tighter with a Ball Bearing PTE61, but I am going to wait until I get everything up and running first.

A lot of people run E85. I hear nothing but good things about it performance wise but the problems i hear about steer me away from it. You have to have nearly twice the injector to run it and you use 40-50% more than you would normal gas. Sounds like a huge PITA to me especially for what is costs.

getting my fuel system ready to run it will be easy and fairly cheap, and in my opinion the pros of this fuel outweigh the cons by ALOT, especially when looking from a performance standpoint

if e85 were available in my area i would have switched to it long ago, for now i just have to wait. i cant wait to have no need for meth injection lol

I daily drive my TY and fill it up everyother day as it is I really cant justify filling it up everyday. If all I did was race then yeah it would make sense but Im passing on E85 til it goes down or is more readily available. Im not driving 15 miles only to burn half a quarter tank on the way home.

E-85 = $2.18 a gallon here:rotf:

I just checked the E85 locations noline and there are 4 more stores carrying it than there were 2 months ago. Its between 2.20 and 2.56. Im doing all the math right now for it. It starting to look like that it may cost about the same to run it. If I could get it to go 12 mpg Ild be sold on it. IM doing research on it now. I may very well do this too.

0 refueling station(s) within 100 mi. of Framingham, MA

I haven't even thought about E85, since their isn't one station anywhere near me.

You dont race for pinks on all out. Atleast not last time I watched it. I wont get into the class chosen anyway, just want to make a decent impression. On CRN(local racing forum), there is a whole thread abotu it and how they should choose the 9/10's classs just to hsow that they can do it in our altitude. Personally, Im kinda hoping they see a bunch of SYTY's and want to see htem in the end but iM sure that wont happen.

Did you watch the last show when a "internet message board" tried to decide beforehand what times the cars would run to make the Pinks people choose that "group" of cars? It ****ed up the entire show.

Seriously...

Yeah I saw that. It does make sense though.
