Great looking motor, what's the size? I'm guessing rather high c:r with the twin plugs.

Is that the Patrick Motorsports engine mount...looks cool.



its tiny
a 2ltr, with the class legal 40thousandths overbore
so only 2040cc
not too wild of compression but race gas and race compression

Mike G. won't make it saturday as you figured out
but I owe you a beer. I should run out and bug you some time soon when its good for you.


Ferg. Hope you have a great turn out saturday. Take pictures

going to miss the spring hallet that is about to happen

the install trip was a success
I have a few things left to fabricate and rewire
but we did get it installed, got a couple of hours of break-in time

and some rough dyno time

we had to limit the rpm since the motor isn't broken in yet
I didn't have time to increase the venturi's or nail down the jetting
this is 6900rpm with small vents and really mild timing
hopefully once its broken in we can bump the redline up, bump the timing, add bigger jets, and pick up another 10-15hp
(the hp was still climbing without hittings its peak yet)

this is at the rear wheels:

I think that is actually the beginning of the dyno run when he first "floored" it.
the moment the accelerators pump in and all of the gas hits the motor
we geared the car to stay above 5K, and try to never drop below 5k in any corner.

When is Topeka? I tried checking the Heartland Park website, and could find anything listed for vintage racing.

weird, I couldn't find it either.
I'm wondering if its going to fall off the schedule now
I see that HVR is still co-sponsoring the Hastings event
(I've heard that CVAR is also tri-co sponsoring Hastings as well, so Hastings should be fun and busy this year)

The new merged exhaust
no horse power gains on the dyno
but lots of midrange torque numbers showed up

the machinist and tig work plus apex bushings all are pricey
some savings.
but hopefully the bushings are a little more precise

making the cover is a pain in the butt though!

I hope a few weekends anyways
I really missed it last summer when the motor blew in July.
Hey, you want to travel or at least come out for a local event this year
(you can visit the lovely and exotic locations of oklahoma, texas, kansas, and nebraska if you want)

I promise not to force you to mix buckets of concrete... not even one!

Aren't you going to run any events at High Plains? It's a lot closer than any of those other places you mentioned and a really fun track. We've been doing two open track events there every year since it opened.
