Re: Dime Rocket- DNQ
Thanks, Rob
Might be interested in that...as long as it doesn't put over and out of the D/R designation. Good luck

Re: Dime Rocket- DNQ
Finally found the name of the place after asking around on another site where I originally found out about it. The name of the place is Rack Doctor in Hemingway SC. The bad news is it looks like they may no longer be converting them to manual racks. Not sure why. But it may still be worth checking with them to see if they know someone who does still do them. Or if maybe for some reason they just dont have them listed on thier site anymore.

Just put it back together after fine tuning some stuff after the first outing. Working on adding weight ,as we speak. We plan on running it again in a few weeks. We don't expect any big numbers @ 100 degrees and 4500 ' air though.

Re: Dime Rocket- DNQ
Thanks for more pictures Mark. I definitely have to purge my brain of street vs strip cars. I knew the torque arm bushings needed to be firmer, but never really thought about solid. Did you do anything to the lower motor mount and transmission mount? Looking forward to anything you can share. How light were you able to get it before you started adding weight back?

The OEM (r) front engine mount remains intact but we added two solid ones to the trans case .One in the left front behind the starter, and one where the right axle exits the trans. The transmission will sit firmly in place while the engine is out of it. About 2930 with no ballast. Bob, I'd love to see that , but you'd have to get in line...
