harland sharp roller rockers will be here this week along with my new pistons. ended up going with forged probes that should be about 12.2:1...gonna do e85 with an 850 race carb
We had a very good time as well, sadly we couldn't stay for the finish, as our daughter had a rash that was only seeming to get worse with the heat. Big thanks to the sponsors, cr members, and Hadocy for making it happen.
also it doesn't take near the beating it would during a drag race.. if you watch his shifter hand running down the straight he doesn't power shift, as there's no need to.
clay there are a couple tsb's about noise for these vans..
first off the overflow bottle has a screen in it that get clogged drain fluid and clean it)
and second the return hose running the ps cooler is too small and needs upsized one bigger(7/16" from 3/8" maybe..i forget)
