The hole around the crankshaft isn't cut to the outside dimension of the flywheel. Just enough to allow the radius on the back of the flywheel to meet the crankshaft. I would say the over diameter of the hole, if I had to guess, would be about 8" in diameter. I was entering the car in comp eliminator at this race. We made some changes that would bump us out of Super Stock. Quote:
I'm going to wait to approach NHRA and let the Indy buzz settle down, and for me to calm down even more. I want to approach this without emotion playing any role. And I'm still pretty bitter. ![]() |

I do wish you all of the luck in the world to get this issue resolved and good luck with your car in comp eliminator. I know the feeling when you get bounced for a tech issue. Happened to me at the Gators one year. No Fun. You just have to put it behind you and move on. You will get it!!

Cary I have an idea for a fairly cheap fix to your problem. Atatch a round plate about 7 inches in diameter and very thin (.030 or so) to the crankshaft hub. This becomes part of the crank. so the flange is now 7 inches. So your 8 inch hole is rule book legal.
The 4 cylinder Chryslers use something like that (but the same size as the crank flange) that ataches to the outside of the flex plate to help prevent harmonics from shaking the flexplate bolts loose. I know how you feel I was furious that they made a big deal about the louvers in my fiberglass fenders. They allowed me to run that race but sent letters about me to all division tech directors so they would be on the lookout for me. I took off my fiberglass fenders replaced them with metal fenders that were 8 pounds lighter. And painted the whole nose with a rattle can. Telling me to change them would have been fine but the letters to all division offices was over the top.

Art, my flywheel registers and centers on the outside diameter of the crank flange, not the inside. So I'm not sure that would work. The flywheel is actually machined out to where the face of the crank flange recesses into it for centering.

I think that the AWD was maybe 400 hp which is still pretty good for a Suburu but way off the 1200hp maybe in his dream. Boostedf22c has one of the meanest Super Stock out there and I think that he's probably close to 1200hp if I'm not too off, he might enlighten us. Alex great looking Mustang but I have to say that the driver had an advantage with being a better driver and also knowing about deep staging, since his opponent was probably clueless on what just happened.lol Nice video. I would love to see Art Leong playing with all those new drivers driving their BMW and Lexus with his mighty steed. I can remember loving my Turbo GLH that I received for free when my neighbor moved many years ago, for a month I help to part young men from their hard earned money, one youngster bet me his Camaro(1983) but after beating him soundly I couldn't take it away from him but took $200 for him to buy his 305 165 hp Camaro back. Did I mention that we had a complete NOS system that finally blew the engine completly apart. Still have the car in the back of my Shop.lolClaude

Yes, we were pretty close to that number with our old setup. We made 1098hp on the dyno at 37psi and ran around 40 at the track. So that would put it around 1160hp hypothetically speaking.
