I have one mod that a racer engine builder John William's at Otto's in Venice beach told me I must have. He said the rear studs that hold the tail cone work loose under load. The higher power is loosening the nuts/studs that hold the tail cone. He had me install longer studs (the ones that hold the tail cone on). Make them so they protrude through the forward end of the trans case. Put nuts on the studs as they are coming through. Tighten the nuts. Then weld those nuts to the studs. I have recently added an oil cooler.

Now that's great advice on strengthening the studs...cooler may be in the works later if I'm running more than sprint sessions.... |
