Insane times, especially with those pulley setups! Looks like the TVS is working well for you :beer:

I'd like to play with the 2.7 some more. My downstream temps out of the box were not ideal due to error on my part. After reviewing the data I'm seeing what looks like belt slip after 200' or so from the starting line.

Once I get the 2.7 optimized I can work towards optimizing the 2.7/6lb combo.

Thanks Nick. Your Eaton swap info was used on this one 6 years ago and is still running well!

Race #3 was badass! There were six cars in the single digits. At least three of the races in the elimination rounds were decided by 0.081 or less. The final round was a 0.016 margin of victory! Need to get some more Fords out to Race #4 on July 16th.

Highlighted the suspension items in bold.

I'm not sure if this would be the best setup for a stick car, especially when it comes to the non-solid bushings. But for a footbrake auto car that is street driven much more than track raced, it is terrific.

Now that's an impressive list. Your Cobra hooks like crazy. You definitely have it dialed in nicely. Nice runs! :rockon:
