Brad: OVERLEAN CONDITION I'm not too sure that you may be running out of fuel by volume - not pressure - but volume. YOUR RACE CAR A couple of things make me come to that conclusion. First it is an 8 second car so it really hauls. If you are lean coming out of the light it is because you are against...

Hi Brad: Eeeeech...you poor guy! That is really an ugly story. Don't worry, Scott will make it right. I'm sure the delay in getting back to you is him contacting all the interested parties at World Products and making some adjustment between both of these guys to help you. Hopefully, he has seen the...

Converter choice
Converter stall should be at the max torgue rpm of the motor with a trans brake car. If you have a SBC then it should come in at around 5600 or 5800, maybe 6000 if you have a strong 600 plus hp in the little block and some camshaft specs are a must to help in the decision. Duration and lobe centers ...

RJ Race Cars sells a trick pinion angle scale, take a look at their website and use the keyword, you must have it within 1/2 a degree. It's about a 100 bucks to purchase the degreed scale, if you want to do it yourself. Angle finders work, but they not a vernier scale for accuracy, so think about th...

Kill Switch. They have 4 post kill switches, rather than the common 2 post. You will have the heavy posts for the positive break from the battery to all other systems in you car. But, you will also have smaller post for a positive break to the alternator field wire that will pass through the switch ...

You'll find that Harwood is best. Hairy Glass is about the top of the line, but I don't know whether they have your doors in their product line. It isn't uncommon that material has to be added. You may have to contact a chassis builder. They fabricate the fiberglass matting to doors all the time. It...

CSR Trans Flex Plate Shield - Save yourself some grief and buy the trans flex plate shield, the short version, from CSR (previously CSI). It's made of kevlar, its low profile, light and easy to install. It fits door cars with no or little clearance. It should really help and it looks cool. CSR makes...

Brake Pedal Ratio
6:5 to 1 is the standard - or anything up to 7:1 for a manual application without power assist. Wilwood is right - you should be fine. Call Roger Lamb at Lamb Components and he will give you some help if you need it on this matter, or.... Call Gary Hansen at Hansen Race Cars in Montclair, CA. or any...

sc racing Fuel Regulators
Never join your Holley 110GPH regulators with a union fitting between the two. That is a boo boo. To solve this problem, remove the union and plug the outlet line not going to the fuel bowl with a plug or a pressure gauge for each regulator going to each bowl. As an option, you could run both outlet...
