The No Wake Zone / Re: What did you do to your boat today?
« on: September 10, 2014, 08:13:16 PM »I got tired of doing all sorts of cool stuff for other people. I started writing programs to lighten my Berkeley G bowl.Are you doing these for Starkweaher? Those look killer!
Figured I would start with the things that take the longest, cost the most in tooling, and yield the smallest gains (or none at all) LOL
Finally I have something to post here! Wooohoooooo

It's only a small block...... I think that small block makes more hp than my big block.

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / What octane ?
« on: September 06, 2014, 08:28:01 PM »Jake is the 11.80's on the bottle? What mph?That was with messing with hardware and the new all motor tune. 11.809 all motor, right about 94. We spray about 5 to 6 seconds to run 11.00's We went 10.557 at 103 in Oregon with about 9 seconds of the 150. That track is quick water grains were never over 20 air never went over 2500 feet.

We have got it down to where each second of nitrous is about 1.5 to 2 tenths or so. Depending on the weather. At firebird, throw everything out the window. Hahaha

« on: September 06, 2014, 06:13:04 PM »Hey Jake, did you go through any power tuning procedure to arrive at your 38-40 degrees of advance? Did you see a change in RPM with the increased timing? Lower E.T.? Both?We did all the tuning on the dyno at auto marine engineering. It pulls 200 more rpm on the good tune up than the pump gas tune up. For the 11.0 tune up we spray 150 shot and retard 4 degrees. Just make passes and read your plugs. It will tell you if it likes it or not. 👍🚤💨💦💦💦
Thanks,
Joe

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Re: Change heads??
« on: September 06, 2014, 12:05:14 PM »Not the point.Gt is right. You can't just slap a set of heads on there. Both sets will not work without some changes.
If you put closed chamber heads on an open chamber short block combo, the 13.5: 1 compression ratio will run like a raped ape, for about two minutes...
If you go open on a closed, with the low compression ratio you will need a blower to make it run.
What do you have for piston, block, crank?

Will it keep up......... Maybe. You mite lean it out due to not getting enough fuel I have ALWAYS, Used another fuel pump and regulator for the nitrous fuel side!!! Better safe than sorry. Always remember to take 2 degrees of timeing away for each 50 hp shot.

« on: September 03, 2014, 07:35:15 PM »Call Lifeline and ask them if they have any trade in vests, this is what I did. I bought a fully gone through vest with new zippers, new floatation, cleaned, and a re-certification for the same price everybody sells them for used on the forums, and needing everything I just mentioned.X2 call ken. great guy to deal with. The trade in vests are a great deal. if your looking to get into racing, i say get the chute jacket now. save you some time and money in the long run.
