Gunslinger55 replied to the thread Unfair advantage.Spools a way of life offroad. Daily driving sucks but on track i’m sure it’s the answer as well. (see full post)

BTW, what did Mark find with the differential? With the Trans-Am, he settled on a spool. It's the right answer. The diffs in our cars need to be much tighter. Torsens do not get the job done. The only good thing about them in there's nothing to...

It was that team. The engines were all 5.0 liters, but the fresh head gives a little better top-end seal and that plays nice with a bottom end that has gotten nice and broken in.

Gunslinger55 replied to the thread Unfair advantage.Actually he first figured it out early on in his 58 corvette but didn’t understand what was going on till later (see full post)

I know a lot Corvette and Porsche guys who have faster cars than me. That doesn't mean they get around the track quicker. (see full post)

Gunslinger55 replied to the thread Unfair advantage.Very cool. I assume it’s was larger displaced v-8’s from his trans am camaro that was acid dipped lol. (see full post)
mwjscn replied to the thread HPDE tires.The general guideline is not to touch them at all when hot, as trying to torque them down to the cold number can stretch the stud, deform the threads, or outright snap the stud due to them now being over-torqued when they return to their cold... (see full post)- TeeLew replied to the thread Unfair advantage.That was the trick in FF2000 30 years after he found it. If you put a fresh head on a 500 mile engine, you'd make 1-2 *more* HP than you would when the whole thing was brand new. (see full post)

Gunslinger55 replied to the thread Unfair advantage.A totally fascinating thing (which there are tons of in this book) is these fact he discovered that a broken in bottom end with new heads produces approx 30 more hp. That makes total sense when he describes it and they dyno tested to confirm... (see full post)

Gunslinger55 replied to the thread Unfair advantage.I agree i’m sure it’s work. The car is from AZ and you probably seen it. So what car isn’t a lot of work? i got a brand new mustang and now im thinking about changing tons of stuff on it? It’s and endless cycle. Kinda like Donohue talks about in... (see full post)

Gunslinger55 replied to the thread HPDE tires.Always right before i go out. Not when i come in so usually that’s at least an hour. Or two. Is there a hot and cold torque rating? I know the coated studs at op use less torque all around (see full post)
TMSBOSS reacted to biggsy's post in the thread Your Experience with the 10 sp auto 10R80? Road race or HPDE? Longevity? Yr. Of manufacture? with Like.I think @flyhalf is probably one of the most experienced with the transmission. Even though he moved on to smaller and better things (sequential) lol.May find a lot of what he did in his build thread.
