Because I want Infinite timing capability on all of my builds! MooWa.....Ha.....Ha (ha?)

Seriously though, no one makes a light weight I shaft gear (though many have talked about it, Hint Hint) and after seeing the difference the changes I made on the Charger went, this is now what I do on any serious build that's going 400+WHP and wanting to take as much advantage of weight reduction as well as recip mass on the engine.

What keeps the timing belt from walking? Nice build btw!

Shear Will!!! lol
Which reminds me, how did you do at SDAC, or did you not run your Beast yet? Is it just me, or has this been the quietest SDAC Ever? I don't see any real posted results anywhere. No quick 8, (other than 1 or 2 that ran) No result on any of the faster cars.
What's up with that?
Re: 1988 Daytona Shelby 11 sec full body build thread * picture heavy *
I would like a lightweight I-shaft gear and a lightweight STOCK sized accessory pulley....

We have a contact who has offered to machine a TU brand of cam/I shaft gears. I am sure pulleys will not be a problem either. Return on investment is minimal when compared to other performance options though. The million dollar question is, "If we build them will they sell?"

PS- Good seeing you again at SDAC/Carlisle Reaper1.
PSS- Reeves took Quick 8.
Re: 1988 Daytona Shelby 11 sec full body build thread * picture heavy *
I would buy a lightweight stock sized crank pulley. Preferably with no a/c or p/s groove. I would buy a lightweight I shaft pulley as well.
Re: 1988 Daytona Shelby 11 sec full body build thread * picture heavy *
Awesome build!!!

And not to highjack the thread, but I'd surely buy a lightwaeight I-shaft pulley Chis.

That's funny to see this as it's what I'm going to do on my engine builds too. I really liked the low recipricating setup in my old 8v 2.5 and hadn't gotten around to doing the t-belt gears yet. Just the UDP, flywheel, valve train at the time. I've been picking up gears as available to do it to all my motors though.
I shaved over 1/2 lb off my timing belt crank pulley :) Lots of weight but not much centrifigul force acting on it, but every bit counts. :)

That is the part I heard lol
Would have been nice to see a complete breakdown though. Yaknow, 1st round, 2nd round ect ect. (like a tree)
Who were the other 7 contestants?

Being a 2.5l and knowing what Nick's goals are for the car, I Really wanted to have double the displacement in the plenum and this is Very close. I think I displace measured it down to 4.9l plenum. Either way, Really happy with how it turned out.
Really too bad you can't buy THIS version of the BMF "off the shelf" :( as it solves So many issues all at once.
Re: 1988 Daytona Shelby 11 sec full body build thread * picture heavy *
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for posting in the thread and keeping it alive, don't be afraid to hijack the thread so many good things can come from it haha !
I am very pleased with the way the car is turning out and the goal is to ultimately go out and bust an 11 ( high or low ) full body full interior plane jane 8 valve with a 5 speed.
I think things will start slow at about 15-20 psi and we will go from there. I am expecting to see a 13 sec run right off the bat ! haha ! and eventually and most of all GRADUALLY put the car into the 11's. if it takes me three years so be it ! a second a year !
mad thanks to all who have contributed to this build
Shadow and the TD team here in Manitoba.

In all seriousness though, the gears are no different than the factory pieces, so I'm not sure what you're referring to, but I can only guess that you're thinking of the earlier cam and I-shaft gears that had the one sided backing to act like a belt guide?
The only guide I am aware of on the round tooth sprockets is the double sided belt tensioner.
Re: 1988 Daytona Shelby 11 sec full body build thread * picture heavy *
Ahhhhh the TIII tensioner doesn't have that. It's on the i-shaft and exhaust cam gear lol
