Painting a helmet

I've got a my new helmet from Jeg's here in town...and the guy that has done my tat's is also an artist with a airbrush...and wants to do a badass graphic on my helmet.. My question is, what are the NHRA rules on painted helmets? We are going to clear coat it after he's done so it won't nick and scr...

Re: Mobile Phone Users - What do you use?

Rooting it just allows you to have more control over the battery life and what apps run when and also there are some apps that you cannot get through the Market Place that only run on a rooted phone! Connecting to wifi and browsing the net is actually enjoyable...not painful like my BB Storm was...u...

Re: Mobile Phone Users - What do you use?

Yes, I finally got a Droid as well...rooted it and have a TON of applications for it. I love that I can tether it to my laptop and be on the net without the "extra" data tethering fee that Blackberrys charge... ConnectBot might be what you are looking for to connect to your datalogger syst...

Re: Pick the "Collective Brain" of the site :)

HAD I thought this far ahead when I bought everything for the heads I would have just kicked a few hundred more in and got a set of T&D's or something..but I didn't and now I"d never get enough out of my used stuff to be able to get a shaft system..and they aren't cheap (and for good reason...

Re: Pick the "Collective Brain" of the site :)

Well, got the motor out of the car this weekend finally and got it tore apart. Just as I thought, we were definitely getting blow by somewhere. Amazingly enough, the pistons are STILL only 5thousandths between them and the walls...BUT the blow by is coming from the rings, which are plain worn out. T...

To MSD 7al-2 or not to!

I currently have a MSD 6al and a "start/retard control, high rpm retard" box and the coil that is made for the 6al system. I have a chance to buy a 7al-2 from a friend, and it's in great shape and well taken care of. Would I benefit from his 7al-2? and if so do I need to change coils and i...

Re: Cage Pics.

Looks badass...where the stock floor and trunk pan used to be, are you just then going to hang aluminum sheet metal in there and tub the car?

Another topic for discussion

I don't think I've ever seen this topic on here in the years that I've been trolling this site. But with the rack & pinion that I'm putting on this year, I'm going to finally be able to install my adapter plates to the heads, and bolt on the badass Stahl headers that I bought off of Craig W. at ...

Re: Dodge's and 24' enclosed trailer issue's

Yes, I agree that my 1500 Dodge isn't ideal for hauling this kind of setup, but it's all I got for now and I'm finally even on equity in a truck and so I can't possibly get another truck :) A normal 3hr drive to my dad's shop in PA took me well over 5hr's on Saturday of this past weekend. I know tha...

Re: Dodge's and 24' enclosed trailer issue's

Thought I'd update you all on what I did to the truck and how it reacted. I did purchase a Reese load balancing hitch with the 1000lbs stabilizer bars and such. That made a big difference. Still need the anti-sway bar installed from receiver to tongue of trailer, but it definitely hauled good. To he...

Re: Pick the "Collective Brain" of the site :)

Well, originally when I started building this motor/combo I had plenty of money...then with broken axles, rearends, tranny's and drive shafts, that dwindled quickly. As I know you have all been there before. The fella that did the heads/intake has a great reputation of being able to really make head...

Re: Pick the "Collective Brain" of the site :)

Keith, Awesome bro, and I may take you up on that and I'd gladly pay the for the ride back and forth. I currently don't have the car together for a dyno run, so we'll have to see what it makes after I get it back together. I'm also thinking I may get the engine dyno'd as well, as I have made a good ...

Re: Pick the "Collective Brain" of the site :)

Unfortunately I can't stand the guys here in town that have the chassis dyno's and so I wasn't able to get any of those types of numbers. I do agree it would have been nice though. Keith, I know that the car should be way faster, it's what I hear from everyone that asks whats in the motor and what t...
