How to build a 383 stroker motor in 3 special steps. Or ooops i spun a rod.

[lozer]

Update time.


`


It`s been quite some time. Sorry for the lag. The motor is up and running I have 8 races on it now and 4 wins (I keep screwing with the suspension geometry). At any rate I hope to be slapping up some vids here of races this year.


`


I got a wideband o2 sensor to check on the pcm4less tune and it`s spot on all the way through the power band.

lozer- Hey, good to see you posting again!` What`s working/not for you on the suspension?

[David Fermani]

I`m in for the videos!!

Accumulator,`


`


Well thats a bit of a story. So after i got the motor reassembled i had a BMH rear spring on the car (499lbs) newish shocks and my alignment was spot on. I went on to win 4 out of the last 5 races last year. `So i figured I could get more out of it with a slightly softer rear spring and some weight removal. `Well that went poorly as i lost the first race of the year by .1. So i swapped everything back to my "winning" setup and the next race i only lost by .02.


`


But i finally noticed that i`ve had a blown rear left shock and after thinking back and reviewing my vids iv`e had it out for the last 3 races due to some serious hop when in hard right turns or trail braking into a left. `QA1 rebuilt the shock for free (great company and great service) shock was out of warranty by a year. `but they hooked me up.


`


So i expect to do better this Saturday assuming the weather doesn`t go to crap.


`


`


David- I will slap a whole ```` load of vids up just as soon as i figure out how.

lozer- Ah glad QA1 stood behind their product.` And yeah, sometimes you do find the right combo and "making it better" just doesn`t work out.` Heh heh, 0.02 is one of those "could`ve gone either way" things, huh?

[lozer]

Yea man .02 is me needing to put a couple more coats of wax on the bumper.

Heres an old vid from my datsun scarab days.

lozer- Hey, thanks for sharing those (couldn`t get the 240SX one to play on this computer..)!` That last course looked like it had a few areas that were just a little tight for a car the `vette`s size.

[lozer]

The last course was an ass pain with that finish bar. also the course didn`t seem to flow. Of` course I wasn`t in a Miata.
