What would be the effect of freezing the air cleaner base with nitrogen (dry ice)? Would that not be trying to lower the incoming air temperature?

Thats the fun of class run offs. seeing what all of the competitors do to their cars to try to squeeze every last HP out of it. Cooling intakes and carbs, Ice water in the radiator, Ultra thin oil in the engine. Heaters in the oil pan to make the oil thinner. All of these things have been a regular part of class eliminations for more years than I would like to count. Good luck to all of the guy's/ gal's that made the show.

Dry Ice is Co2(Carbon Dioxide) not nitrogen

To set the record straight Jim's cam lift was .005 over. He passed teardown with everything else including his carb. The lift for a 396/375 is supposed to be .520 and his was .525. Jim would never cheat intentionally and will have it right for next weekend. I have personally helped him through several record teardowns and can attest for his integrity.

Ed sorry to correct you but SS/BM was won by Caro in the Stratus it was SS/BS. And if you worked on your car as much as you type crap about Lloyds SS/JA car you might have a chance to get within a car length or so of him. I know this is at least the 4th post about that car where you have trashed him or his car. At least I can say that he runs it BALLS out and dont give a crap about the 1.15 rule. If he did he would have lifted on the first pass.

Herb jr I know I don't need to, but I will defend Mr. Wright. He explained to you before in a post that he was just having fun no disrespect in anyway. Ed talks about that car all the time. He says it's the standard in JA. Maybe not anymore since he got beat. He has nothing but respect for the guy. Ed is like me everything on his car isn't the best money can buy. He runs pretty damn well with what he has. I enjoy hanging out with him at the races. He isn't the bad guy you think he is. Sorry Ed I had to. Hope to see you down the road.
