Yup, still around. My daily driver is my '91 Spirit with a 12v 3.0V6 and a turbo... My son daily drives a '94 Shadow 3LV6 w/A604. Got it cheap because of the failing paint. Had to fix a few...

Porting upper and lower intake.
Larger TB. 52mm or 58mm (vs stock 46mm)
Ported heads.

Over the weekend I was tearing down the block getting ready to hone it. I noticed a scratch in the #6 bore. Pretty deep, more than honing would remove... Looking at the piston that came out of...

Non-Mivec,but I think a U-pull-it yard near me has some Mivec cars now...

I suspect that he would like to trap at over 122 mph (not that I will let him start there...) That said, the problem...

I need to post a full story from this years Rocky Mountain Race Week, but I thought I was out because of a spun a bearing... Finally got around to tearing apart the engine. The rod bearing was not...

No, I have some other things that have my attention right now (rebuilding the engine for my son's car and putting some used heads on my pastor's car.) I would like to take the car out for another...

When I bought it, it 3 springs in it I think. I removed all but the lightest... No idea how much pressure it has. At the track I did toy with running a stronger spring in the wastegate...

Yup, That is likely my solution... Just gotta find room, not much left under the hood...



The current controller is "grainger" type setup.



Something to check, but I think this is...

Day Five, pulled the tow hitch and passenger seat to reduce weight, purchased a gallon of 110 race fuel to hopefully get a 11-second pass… First run was 12.896@111.99. Looking through the log file...

Day Four, (Kearney, NE) We pitted near a tree that I thought would give us some shade. (And it did.) We also had a bunch of the other big guys pit next to us. On one side we had Larry Larson and...

Day three, (Great Bend, KS) Pitted along the “return road” where everybody did during the Drag Week 11, but ended up being away from everybody but one other racer (smaller group for RMRW…) Made...

I just remembered why the first run at Pueblo was slow. About half way through the intercooler tube to the TB blew off... I believe the run was ~14.1.

Your opinion mirrors mine on the Moroso vac pump. I think am going back to just a vent... That worked well enough during Race Week....

Day two, (Pueblo, CO) started...

Rocky Mountain Race Week was last week. I want to put together more details about the event, but bottom line the car ran a best of 12.36@122 on 18psi of boost.


The first day was tough, but...

Rocky Mountain Race Week is less than a week away. The car is close to being ready. Most of my focus has been on modifying the trailer I have used on prior Drag Week's.


Today I finally started...

This car has been down with shifter issues. I have been putting time into figuring out the chuggle that my Spirit R/T has developed...

My current plan is to run it in the Rocky Mountain Race...

Minor update, I have been driving the car a lot working on the tuning in the Accel Enrichment in. The car developed a problem where it would sporadically die when trying to move from a dead stop. ...

Here is a rough diagram of the internals...

Picture from before of the parts used... Other than some nuts and...

Yes, the plan is for this to go into my '87 Shadow. I new the whole axle would be too long for a P-body. When the axle nut wouldn't budge I decided to cut my losses and get the important part, the...

Long wheel base van. I cut the axle because the hub nut would not come off. The end that goes through the PTU is what I wanted... This was a U-pull-it type yard...

Over the weekend my son and I made a junk yard run. I was looking for Hemi engine for another project, that was long gone. However I did score this. The only piece I wasn't able to get was the...

I put it on shortly after SDAC. During SDAC the prior one got oil soaked. I was a little concerned about this one when I got it because it turned stiffly...

I do plan on tearing it down to see...

I am using the EAE so it is a little more complicated, though this may be a condition were I want add in some regular AE. Have to check the log file.

In other news, the crank case evac pump (smog...

The mild grade stall is I think an issue with the fuel enrichment not being completely dialed in for off idle... Right now I have the VE table around idle bumped up to help out, until I can fix it...

The Shadow's idle characteristics have been the source of frustration for me. I would often get oscillations that would result in the engine stalling. A few times it would fall flat on its face...
