You have a good clutch, I've used them before. But having to pull the engine is no fun. I've always had a few words the neighbors laugh at when I worked on a Vette. Like the time I put one up on the lift and the whole windshield popped out and slid down the hood. Try explaining that one...
Does the strip have any kind of electronic timing? Let me know the figures when you get them back. ----- Original Message ----- From: Larry Stansifer To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2008 7:18 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Corvette update Well guys... She is finally cocked, locked and ready to rock. As is said in a previous post I had a vibration and had to pull the motor back out. The culprit turned out to be a bad pressure plate, Hayes over-nighted me another new one using the dynamic balance specs I sent them and they finally got it right. The motor is absolutely incredible. I knew when it fired for the first time it would be a winner. It is one of those motors that you don't hear as much as feel. It is almost like it creates so much exhaust over pressure that it disrupts your heart rhythm. I have experienced this feeling with top fuel motors but never with a gasser. I can't wait until this weekend to dyno run the car and find out how mean it really is. Carol has been practicing with the staging and hole-shot software on her computer and we will take it out to the local airport drag-strip and put a watch on it once it comes off of the dyno and stays together. Gentlemen, this thing is absolutely "bad to the bone." I will post Dyno results once I have them and they are verified.
