Thanks. This gives me some places to start. What's your thoughts on calibrations? I see a few options from Cindy, didn't know power vs driveability vs fuel mileage. I want it to run decent but I'm...

Long time listener, first time caller....
Actually just first time TIII engine. What are the gotta-have's when building one of these. I've read alot about the lifters, the belt tensioner, etc. My...
Mine is NOT SFI approved, I made it myself and worked with both NHRA and SFI on the design/approval. It was built to the requirements of SFI 4.1 without being submitted to certification. Per both...
Turning is hard at low speed, manual rack and spool requires two hands to turn. on/off trailer is no change as you are going straight. Pushing the car in the lanes is more difficult if the lanes...
I've been running one in my Neon for two seasons now, Gary has the one with the photos posted above. Another person you could contact within the Shelby Dodge world is Art Leong (rt1092).
Let me...
Hey now, I was actually 21 for the trip to Topeka - subsequently we spent a fair amount of time at Baby Dolls that year:eyebrows:
Class wins do pay contingency, Mopar came back mid season and has...
Angelo - I was just talking about you while at Indy this past weekend. Telling the story about your high-speed run with the Corvette on the way to the SDAC event in Topeka with the Matchmaker...
Thanks for following along, it was an awesome weekend to go rounds at Indy. I will also say that an SS/AH hemi car sounds awesome when it goes by in the lights.
Spool's should be in-stock ready to ship in 2-3 weeks:thumb:

The only turbo dodge we have left is a 91 Spirit R/T that I've got, besides that we've got some parts left.
Jack McCormick lost the contract to run the mopar traveling road shows a few years...
If the flu is the worst you got from a weekend of drinkin and chasing girls - you'll be fine:thumb:
I got that alot about the motor colors. It was originally going to be all red/silver but none of the parts matched the same shade of red (anodize, plastic pieces, painted) so when I cnc'd the Neon...
We owned that truck for a while - The guy we bought it from had started to cut it up to put the drivetrain in the back. We cut it up a little further then sold it as just a shell to a guy in the...
I didn't go to Gainseville, Art did (and broke an axle while there) so I'd say he didn't have fun.
Not sure which would be better as they have to run at the same weight - an SRT4 or a Spirit R/T...
Both the Spirit R/T and Iroc R/T Daytona are in there (both factored at 225Hp) The table reads funny on the Spirits as there are seperate lines under each model for the weight breaks for ATX and MTX...
The rulebook calls the SRT4 a Neon SRT4 (its mostly SRT4 owners that don't want them called Neons). I've followed alot of the A604 development but for Stock eliminator the problem remains that the...
Omni's came with 3-spd automatics, the GLHS is an omni and the classification guide does not list the car as "manual trans only". At a min weight of 2510 w/driver it MAY have a chance against an MTX...
That's a project I'm looking into now for the Spirit R/T I've got in the barn. It's doable just a matter of how you wanna make the ring. What are the chances of getting lockup converter logic into...
You can't run a 4-spd ATX if the car only came with a 3-spd ATX (likewise no 5-spd MTX if car only came 4-spd)
Were there any FWD slicks available at that time?
I've got a Turbo Action shifter in my car. The lever ratio is slightly different so we made a new arm for the trans to correct the ratio..
...
It's like the hair club, I have been running a spool in my Neon (drag only) since early last season. My car has a manual rack and with 22" slicks (20psi) it is hard (in terms of effort) to turn at...
You want to eliminate as much compliance in the front suspension as possible. Cheapest option is Poly bushings, better option is control arms with solid/spherical bushings. Suspension compliance...
Welded diff and spool do put the same stresses on the axles. More the issue is that you can not get good weld penetration on case hardened gears. I believe it is listed in the general regulations...
Stock BOV is junk and leaks pretty bad above 15psi (or just blows apart). we joked that it sounded like my car would gobble like a turkey when you'd lift with no blowoff valve but in the early 90's...
