After another racer hit our combo the first round of class. I was pissed off and took 100 lbs out for the next round of class and ran 1.264 under, thinking that the next trigger was 1.30 under. As many know we have run our car between 7-8 tenths under for the last 4 years to keep the average down. Only at Indy last year or open races have we held it all the way down. What really sucks for me personally is losing the record that I set a few weeks earlier at Atco because of someone wanted to go to the pole in qualifying.

That's the beauty about stk and ss. You can leg it out when you want to. I hope Kenny and Mike do it again. Change cams and do it again. Add fuel injection and do it again. This whole gentleman's is BS. Kenny has been running this combo for years. If he wants the pole at one of his favorite races than so be it. He's spent the hard earned money over the years and deserves it!

Rod nice run! Is there any chance you can get that guy with the orange car to do the same thing at Norwalk next week.

I just have to speak to Jim on the best way to have a lobster pond in the backyard. Did you see the size of that thing on Facebook. I just wonder how many bags of Purina Lobster Chow it took to make it that large. Will I have to build a cement pond too.

That's a quadrajet with just a 4bbl air cleaner base dipped to look like carbon fiber

It has a drop down air cleaner base like many of the cars that run a carburetor.

What you are referring to is the factory inlet portion of the assembly that connects to the remainder of the fuel injection air cleaner assembly.

The fuel injection inlet is not connected to the carburetor, therefore, it does not act like a ram air system. I doubt it has any effect on the performance of the engine since it's not connected directly in any way or form to the carburetor. It's removal will not effect the performance of the car.

I am not the smartest guy out there thats for sure
but if its on that car it is worth something
And since its a carb car I assume that should not be on the car
I guess that may show an issue with no tech at national events

You are correct in your description, however there is a performance increase with that inlet vs no inlet. It directs cooler frontal air towards the carb. I think the car needs to be a Z to utilize that piece.

That's the secret 1.20 inlet system, the fast guys have them. must be in West Coast rule book.
