I need new aftermarket head gaskets after a 150 shot, any ideas? (pics included)
Like I said, I don't put any merit in it. It's a cool program we have built into the dyno at the school and its suppose to be fairly accurate but it doesn't take a couple factors into consideration such as wind drag and such. The program starts as soon as the tires start to spin so it doesn't record a reaction time. You have to enter in tire size, vehicle weight, and other characteristics I don't remember off the top of my head. It then calculates distance traveled and once the '1/4' run is done, it displays time and speed. The speed was accurate with my speedo but that doesn't mean anything. It's like a really expensive G-tech. :D
Ok, but I'm not sure if I will be doing anything else to it this year besides getting it running. The motor creates a slight vibration that I think is being caused by the motor being out of balance (even though its suppose to be balanced). It just has that feel. But who knows, I do have a couple months left before the tracks close. I did run a 13.8 @ 103 on the dyno at school. I started spraying after i shifted into second gear. But I don't trust that number since its on a dyno and not the track.
the motor is probably gonna vibrate all the time like its out of balance....all v6's have really bad harmonics and i dont think you could ever get the vibrations out of it....

Do you mean the dyno? If so, I should be able to get some pics next week. Hopefully, I will have my car put back together by then. Those ARP studs are taking their time getting here.
Originally posted by andrew.brandon: so were you at a track or "elsewhere" when you did those runs? If you were at a track what times did you get with that shot?
When I did the runs with the 150 shot, I was at my dad's house. He lives in the country and is surrounded by those great straight blacktop roads. Funny thing is that my dad is STRICTLY a BB V8 guy and I think it killed him to say that he was impressed with the way it pulled, for a little engine. It was definitely (and obviously) faster than the 100 shot. And with my dad in the car, that is an accomplishment. He weighs just under 300 lbs.
If I had to compare the difference in feel between the 100 shot and 150 shot, I would say it felt just like the difference between the 3.27 gears and the 3.73 gears.

Huh? I knew it would not handle the 150 shot. I wanted to see what would break. I didn't just throw a bunch of sh*t together and hope that it would work. I don't know what in the world you learn from your pile. You throw too many non-constants into the equation to be able to tell what is working and what's not.
