Re: Soup up trick.
We tried the sterno. Couldn't see anything. Monte Bogan was king of sterno. All this in Top Stock. The best oil I ever saw was VP has some for a short time. The good stuff, put it in early morn, take it out before retiring. The really good stuff, put on gloves, put it in right before going to staging, take it out right after the run. Don't spill it on yourself. Funny looking stuff. Perrone, if tear down is a badge of honor, then I got enough badges to equip a police department in Cleveland.

Re: Soup up trick.
Sorry, guess I missed that. Without PCV, I couldn't see how it would do much anyway.

Re: Soup up trick.
ED
Back in the mid 90s when helping my friend on his alcohol dragster remember him saying then that in the past S/SS racers would come around looking for used oil from A-Fuel cars because of all the nitro that would be mixed in it. Guess back then some used a PCV valve but considering ring technology and honing was not as good as today a little oil / nitro mix sucked by the rings could make some power.

Re: Soup up trick.
I had a friend telling about guys putting stuff in the oil and hood scoops, to suck in the vapors. I though Jeff was talking about that. I should have noticed the little joke symbol. I didin't think Jeff would do that, but figured he also knew about some of that stuff.
Again, I appologize for killing the fun.

Re: Soup up trick.
As I have these flashes, I like to share them with the underinformed. Ed, however is about my age and he forgets just like I do. Anyone remember when you weighed only once when you did tech on some old feed scales and then raced all day?
