You've had several guys try to explain it, including an ex Pro Stock Truck and long time Comp Eliminator owner/driver. Believe me, he knows what he's talking about with more experience (particularly SBC) than any other two members combined. You can learn from folks that have been there and done that if you're willing to pay attention. There are numerous combinations that don't fit the TPSA rules and the one you're fixated on is one of them. Sorry if your bullet doesn't fit, but the rules have been the same for going on 7 years now, so it's a safe bet you didn't build it for TPSA competition. -- DH, 04/25/07 9:34pm [ Post a Reply to This Message ] [Edit] [> D.

But here's his post.... "I took another look at the rules and it looks like 2250# would be minimum weight for a competitive 18 degree, sheetmetal tunnelram w/ 2 carbs. 23 degree head would save 100# but I don't think it would be a good trade off. Now find you a GOOOOD head porter. If the heads won't kick ass you're fixin' to waste a bunch of $$$. Put this thing together using all the latest technology (dry sump, big cam, slot lifters, light rods,light pistons, etc.)and get ready to turn it 10,000 rpm. Put it in a GOOOOD car on a short tire with a steep (5.71+) gear and hang on. It ought to be competitive, it might even win, but it's gonna love valve springs and its probably going to want rods, pistons, and rings every 100 runs (we changed every 50 or so in Pro Truck). By the way this ain't no cheap motor in case you ain't figured that out yet. Good luck and see you at the races." There you have it..DH -- "It ought to be competitive, it might even win"......., 04/25/07 10:26pm [ Post a Reply to This Message ] [Edit] [> I guess this means there's no way my 12*'s are gettin in?? -- busting DH's chops, 04/25/07 10:29pm [ Post a Reply to This Message ] [Edit] [> this subject is getting old THE RULES ARE THE RULES -- Dreamweaver, 04/26/07 8:03am [ Post a Reply to This Message ] [Edit] [> [> Thank you !! -- I think that's what they've been saying, only being PC, 04/26/07 10:49am [ Post a Reply to This Message ] [Edit]
