Buckeye Sprints, National race at Mid-Ohio this weekend Options

[groot]

I'm headed to M-O this weekend to race. Anybody else going?

I'm trying out a few things and uncovered a problem or two in the process.

For cooling, I'm running 2-3" ducts from the turn signal openings (one on each side)... I know many of you think it's not enough, but I'm willing to try it out before I run a huge duct.

I also replaced by EGT senders with some Westach parts. I was checking to see if they worked and oh, my..... they read a lot higher than my other senders did. I'm guessing the old senders were not the right calibration to work with my Westach gage.

I still have to do the alignment, I'm removing some camber to save weight.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

Stock valve springs were good for 6100rpm. The HD springs like Web Cam sells can take over 7000 with the right setup. Do you know what your spring (seat or nose) pressures are or how close to coil bind they are at full lift? Are you still running stock valves, or SS? Stock lifters or lightweight? Do you have a rev limiter? If so I might try 6500 to start with.

Chris,

Stock valves, stock rockers, different springs/keepers, Jake's chromoly pushrods and his metal lifters. No rev limiter, just a 009 and Bosch blue coil. I don't know the pressures, but I've got room before coil bind and good clearance to the piston.

6500.... no power there, but if I can turn it that high, then I don't have to worry about my gearing. Cool....
