You know, it's really not nice to slam a person's career. Obviously your making snide remarks about Joe being a master tech. I suppose that's not as "good" as being an engineer. But your company resume' says your a "General Superintendent" and you "studied" Civil Engineering. I once studied civil engineering as I was a civil draftsman...but I wasn't an engineer

You don't need a lot of valve spring for this RPM and I am reasonable sure that his engine is not running a cam lift that is anything close to a competitive Super Stock or Comp car. So, at 8,000 RPM, Light valve springs and low lift (relatively speaking). - a 3/8 inch 120 trend push rod should last forever. Let's be clear here....there is a huge difference between big cube "Super" engines and Super Stock and Competition eliminator engines. If he were to were to run his car in Comp, with all those cubes, would be like A/EA index......wait, his carb is too big.....So he would be around an A Altered/automatic......he can't run within 2 1/2 seconds of these guys. So when he brags about having a "Rocket" and no crank trigger, no evac system, .....and he doesn't break parts, remember that it is all relative. I have the fastest riding lawn mover in my area and I have never broken a part.....(a little tongue in cheek for ya)

Re: Crank Trigger
Damn, I tell the truth on here about half the time, and I get no where near the attention!

Re: Crank Trigger
Maybe I can talk about my experience with switching from a billet MSD optispark to a crank trigger while on the dyno. This may not be exactly what you are looking for but since you guys are throwing daggers back and forth maybe something about the topic would be helpful.
I was chasing a top end miss and changed all kinds of crap and it was still there. I had a new crank trigger in the box so I decided to see if it would help clear up the miss. I never even unstrapped the car from the dyno. Got everthing together and set the timing where it was in about an hour and was ready for a pull. There were no other changes. Guess what. I still had the miss. Still scratching my head I pulled up the data. From 4500 to 7400 I picked up 10-14 hp on a stocker except at the points of the miss. I rechecked the timing to make sure I did not find out something by accident. Still where it was with the optispark. Still had the miss but got a little more power. Cooled it down and did it over and same result.

Re: Crank Trigger
When I still had my chassis dyno I tested thing like that all the time. You can move the car off the rollers, move it out of the shop. Drive it back in, tie it back down on the rollers, and pick up or lose 5 or so RWHP. Same day also, the built-in weather stations aren't perfect.
I would certainly call that a valid test, and would certainly show up on the track. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Crank Trigger
Ed,
The car did pick up while still missing.I did share with you the cause of my miss. After I got that out the car definitly picked up more. I did not think a crank trigger could do that much but I am not taking it off.
