Yes we do!! I need to come up with an excuse to make it up your way.

I'm making peppers this week ....

Whoa whoa. At least let me be in the same city when Johnny takes the 40 out.

But in terms of a cool idea ... peppers, Johnny, Cruisers, beer ... just need to pick a day.

Rice, I am thinking your 40 can probably twist under acceleration and lift a tire if not both.

YES! I need to make some time to get up there.

Perhaps I have gotten too old and reserved but whenever I put my foot in it I generally roll into it and stay away from shock loads. The mental image of what stuff gets destroyed by dumping the clutch tends to temper my actions. As such, without resorting to some form of drivetrain abuse there really is very little twisting and no wheel lift (does this mean I'm a $hitty tuner or just that I weigh too much? ).

On paper there is only about 400 HP at the flywheel and, as we all know, huge losses in the drivetrain. A trip to the chassis dyno one day and we'll know. How about a club dyno event?

Nope ... Don't want to know how little RWHp the 3B is delivering ....

I'd be interested to see how the torque curve looks for a 3B.

And Moonshine; would like to see that curve as well.

Any of you guys going to Dank Fest? lol... kidding.

Just found out about it - apparently at noon at the Greensboro coliseum the backwards hat crowd is going to be in full effect.

Speaking of interesting crowds.

Took in our once-a-year horsepower display last night. The kid loved it!

 

[GLTHFJ60]

I want to find a chassis dyno after I put 35s back on Moonshine. I have some more turbo modifications coming up in the near future as well. My goal is 250hp with a single, then if I do move to compounds, 350.

Yeah, come on!

Love me a tractor pull! Where was that!?

 

[Rice]

Dixie Classic Fairgrounds. Good show. I believe 8 classes total ... Super Stocks, Super Farm, Minis, trucks, 2WD, Jets, and modifieds. Only one engine "boom" when a blown big block Rodeck (on a mini tractor) lost a fuel line.

 

[NCFJ]

Rice, I am the same way with the swapped trucks. I leave it up to the owners to see what it will do. I will be interested in putting Heather's truck on a chassis dyno once swapped

Them guys did look suspect to me....

... from an Aussie turbo site

For the hogshead, chains, and inches set the stock 3B they ran peaked at (roughly) 91 HP and 160 ft-lbs.

 

[GLTHFJ60]

~134hp and ~220 ft/lbs. Not bad! That's about what the 2F made in the 80s.

Yeah, thats why so many guys slap a turbo on the 3B.
My wheezy 2B runs higher compression than the 3B (well, maybe not mine specifically ) and, as I understand it, has a bottom end less tolerant of boost. So I just move to the right.

 

[elkaholic]

Yeah, look at the torque curve difference between the 3B and the 13B-T .. that's huge!

I found the motor for my tow rig build:
