Atomic have a set of used stock size CP Pistons for $600. Give brad a call.

 

7500rpm is a big call for the I6 isn't it!?

 

that's steel crank territory.  With the long stroke, piston speed (feet per minute ) becomes excessive. High RPM needs forged pistons for starters.. 

E85 Bowser in Albany

I wonder how many L it holds and if they might run out over the weekend...

Based on the organisation that's going into this year, Im thinking this might be something the commitee is all over.

 

Well fingers crossed haha

Rumours of 10k L tank

Not bad.  I wonder what percentage of entrants will be on E85?  Half?

Well over half id say. More like 90%. 

No wonder I didn't come first last two times I entered...not running E85!

im hoping that someone on here can do well on the strip. A "friend of a friend" (sales rep that's helping us build and a great guy) will have a ~450AWHP (note - HP) rex that seems very confident against our high powered taxis. Now im not an asphalt master, but my thoughts is roll-on would help reduce the disadvantage of a RWD high powered car. His claim is he has never been chopped by said vehicles. Now its not an average burbler, close to race spec... 1100kg I think. but I feel like it can be done. will make notes closer to the event. Hands up? 

 

TL;DR - need someone to chop a rex. Toads, looking your way.

One thing for the WRX's what is the ratios's in it? They tend to lose legs when the distances get greater.

 

Just in the 1/4 mile a WRX is top of 4/into 5th going through the speed trap
