Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series

Woodfin · 08-05-2015, 08:37 PM

During our first outing we learned several good pieces of information.

First;
we have a very good basic package. Runs straight, handles smoothly, straight down Broadway from the very first pass. Everything about the package performed as expected and planned.

Second;
the Super 10 is about 165 pounds too heavy. Right away we began brain storming about weight removal ideas. At this time we plan to remove about 80 - 90 pounds before the next D 4 Lucas Race. Then over time, will whittle away more. For now, I am OK with it being about 80 pounds or so overweight.

The "B" index is 10.85 and we expect it to run easy 10.30 - 10.25 so I am good with that. In addition, to my knowledge, there is not another GT/TB truck in D 4 so no problem with heads up runs.

Third;
we learned the 327 combination likes RPM. Each time we let it have it's head it picked up. With good air and good track it will perform very well

Stand by for more updates and weight removal news.
