[BadAssPerformance]

Cool! It was helpful and easy to use, hope i dont need it again soon tho!

Rob, you gonna make it down?

[BadAssPerformance]

First time out with centerlined cams... and corrected 12° ignition timing (from 8°) at Tri-State in Cinci for OVC Turbopalooza

Run #1 - Right off the trailer, spun violently in 1 and then 2 then let out, then from a roll blew third loose to redline. My driveway hooks better.

R/T: .985
60': 2.185
330': 6.108
1/8ET: 9.385
1/8mph: 69.64
1000'ET: 12.810
1/4ET: 16.365
1/4mph: 58.77

Run #2 - Tommy took the water scooper and threw down some extra water and got a good burnout this time! STILL Spun hard thru 2nd and into 3rd... didnt make 29psi till it hooked in 3rd

R/T: .243
60': 1.948
330': 5.251
1/8ET: 7.702
1/8mph: 103.01
1000'ET: 9.758
1/4ET: 11.496
1/4mph: 130.07

Run #3 - Tried the left lane per R/T's suggestion, seemed similar... Spun thru 2nd, missed 3rd as its hard to shift while the ties are spinning.. let out to keep engine ccol.

R/T: .095
60': 1.811
330': 4.937
1/8ET: 8.105
1/8mph: 69.17
1000'ET: 11.589
1/4ET: 15.142
1/4mph: 58.97

Run #4 - Spun thru 2nd again, but stuck 3rd... with traction this would have been a ~10.90

R/T: .178
60': 1.775
330': 4.928
1/8ET: 7.363
1/8mph: 103.80
1000'ET: 9.426
1/4ET: 11.159
1/4mph: 130.43

Well...that didn't tell you squat! Sorry for the bad day, but it was probably better than working!? LOL

[22shelby]

sounds like it was more like turbos on ice!

There is a Mopar Head here in town that has one of the DCR Cam alignment tools that I'm sure he would lend out locally if anyone needed it this weekend.

Marion

Update....he sold it

I got pics for a KC article. IIR there is a thread on SRT forums too? I borrowed it so cant rent...

Crap...
Did you at least get all the dimensions off of it and some pictures?

KC article will be made

[t3rse]

It is just a piece that has two dowels that go into the holes in the cams...just measure cam-cam centerline distance and you have it...guys have been making them from scrap metal for years.

[cordes]

Congrats on the new PBs JT. I hope the damage is minimal.

[BadAssPerformance]

Thanks! The car was flying, if only it hooked then there would be a new PB ET too!

A couple pics of the timing belt

[Shadow]

Nice mph! What size slicks are you running again, and how does the clutch feel?

[BadAssPerformance]

Thanks! 24.5" M&H's... clutch feels ok, not sure if its slipping or not. Might pull to inspect this winter.

[ohiorob]

hope the damage is minimal. traction, good luck with that.

[BadAssPerformance]

Thanks Rob. From your 2.4L experience, think the intake jumping that far forward might touch anything? That one pic was with #1 TDC

Yeah, traction was no where near where it was like at a major event!

[dodgeshadowchik]

Good job there JT! I'm crossing my fingers that your 2.4 is still non-interference.

[ohiorob]

[QUOTE=BadAssPerformance;586368]Thanks Rob. From your 2.4L experience, think the intake jumping that far forward might touch anything? That one pic was with #1 TDC

I've replaced broken belts on NA motors with no valve damage but with your pistons who knows. a fast way to check is to put air in the cylinders.

[BadAssPerformance]

Yeah, I'll put a belt on it and see...

[blk86trbo]

I'm crossing my fingers for you bro!

[Reeves]

Great Job JT!!!! Congrats on the kickass mph!

Did you shave the head or have some radical pistons or something to make this an interference engine?
