Hey Jdnca1,
I have a buddy that runs the Super street outlaw class with a 84 Mustang. They are running 8:teens with a nitrous set up. I think the record in that class is 7:90 and that is with a turbo car. It's a shame about Grebeck.

Kaama,
I don't disagree with you about the hassles of solid rollers. But with the heads I have (bought cheap) that was the way to make the power. Joey Griffin also told us max life would be around 50 hours. That is usually a season for me. Just about everyone I know runs solid rollers, and I have seen them go allot longer than the 50 , but I will change mine once a season.

WetteVette,
I don't think I idle too much , but you are correct the lifters I have now have an oil groove cut into them. The Jesel stuff is sweet but WAY too expensive. I do use Jesel rocker arms though. I don't have to run all that stud girdle stuff, what a headache

26 scarab;

yea that was too bad...my buddy was there racing his and saw the whole thing go down. He is running 8.50's Natural...with a single quad, has bee having some problems with his clutch set-up this season though. In his class they can only run 10.5" tires and no wheelie bars...I saw him drag his rear bumper last yr he was hooking up so well. I used to think high performance boating was nuts, this guy works on his car 30+hrs a week.

I eliminated most of my roller lifter problems
when i stopped useing Pete Jacksons gear
drives. I was told they cause harmonic
vibration.
I use Harlin Sharp rockers, Crower lifters
and K Motion 1000 springs.

Jdnca1,
It sounds like your buddy is running the same class as mine. Ask him if he knows Jim and John Clement.


Blown 1100,
Pete Jackson gear drives ?!?!? Are we talking 50's lead sleds ?
How about the spark plugs in the exhaust pipes shooting flames

We used to use mechanical rollers, they make great power but their hard on parts. They beat up the exhaust seats as well. Also they need rebuilding after 80 to 100 hours although I broke them in less time. Under 6000 rpm's you can get close with a hydraulic roller.

Have you done any testing with NOS on the blower
yet. I hope to dyno in three weeks, will let you
know how it works.

Pete Jackson timeing gear sets have nothing
to do with outdrives.

Hey Loy

I changed to a tunnel ram and fuel injection. It should be easier on the drive. I either had to buy a B-max or cut back on the power. I cant keep up with you big dogs

How many cubes and how much HP. Also will solid lifter cams set off a knock detector on injected motors?

WETTE VETTE

Its a 565ci. 10.5:1 hydraulic roller. It has an aftermarket injection system, laptop programable so it wont have a knock sensor. It made 720hp at 8.5:1 with a smaller cam. While on the dyno with my blower motor a few years ago I swapped to the tunnel ram to see how much power it would make. Im hoping for 750hp with this combination
