JP1738's Stocker and S/G car

JP1738 · 02-13-2024, 03:09 PM

Kaboom goes the transmission and both rear wheel cylinders on the first test drive :/

JP1738 · 02-13-2024, 03:11 PM

They're 15s but they clean!

JP1738 · 02-13-2024, 03:13 PM

First Shakedown! Turned out to be a complete turd, but I wasn't going to give up yet!

New intake curtesy of Tim Stickles. Thanks again man! Put it together Friday night before I went to test again this past Saturday!

Second time testing and set a new PB! 12.61 off the 13.00 index with the new intake, 15 mph tail wind, 1000 ft DA, and adjusted shift points. Thanks Jeff Miles and Darlington Dragway for the 1/4 mile testing!

OK, I have a lot of advice for you…haha…..throw the self adjusters in the garbage, You need to invest in NEW brake spring kits for the rear….AND it won’t BRAKE ( pun intended) the bank…With your hood clearance you can run a much TALLER K and N air filter…Proud of you man, you are making progress !!! More TIPs to come……..

You know, it’s sooo nice to see a youngster with some fire in his BELLY actually put his $$ where his mouth is AS opposed to the GEEZERS on this site that flat WEAR out Billy Nees and YAC week in and week out KNOWING damn well that most of them are just DREAMING….Build it AND they will come ….

I did not know until he put this thread up who this young man was, let me just say this boy has talent. He has already won a national event in super gas , and comes from an excellent racing family with a father, who is also a champion. I am sure he will find success in this class also.
good luck my friend.
