good time for a nice cam and some 30# injectors(my 355 LT1 with LT4 Hot Cam and 1.6 roller rockers hits 90% duty cycle on stock injectors above 6000 RPM)

There's no telling until you pull the pan, but if the crank isn't too bad you can get a shop to turn it down by about .010" and run undersized bearings. I would send everything in for a rebuild seeing how the heads will probably need to be milled to remove any warpage

Oh, as far as torque output, guys typically run the transmission in a 1:1 gear with a high rear end ratio to minimize power loss through the trans

« on: January 19, 2017, 05:48:14 PM »Another data point, I would expect that the overall torque handling has to be pretty high on the dirt track rears simply because there is a lot of slide -> traction -> slide transitions in a pretty fast and violent manner, so from a shock standpoint, they'd have to be rather overbuilt.
In a properly set up car there is a lot less sliding than most people think(the rear steer just makes it look extreme), a good driver also avoids violent transitions since they just waste power and break parts. Most of the sliding that happens also does not involve a major loss of forward traction, it's mostly a side load through the corner.

I have those for auxiliary lights, they have no cutoff, and the flood pattern ones don't have much useful range

are you sure you're not 180 degrees out on timing?
what happens if you dump a little fuel down the carb when you crank it?
are the float bowls full to the bottom of the check screw holes?
any different results if you hold the throttle open when cranking?

Good to see Roxy progressing even more
Side note: I have Roxy's original driver's seat bracket in my car(along with the Pro5-0 shifter from she had a T5), and I used her passenger seat for a Forza gaming rig.
