Nasty rumors

B Parker · 07-30-2019, 07:45 PM

Bruce by no means was I saying anything wrong about Armstrong and Ficcaci. I may have wrote it wrong. My point was just the opposite. It's more than just spending money on motors and parts to get your car to hit that 1.20 mark. He had two good motors for the car but still could not get it to run to it's potential. My car still has the Ficcaci motor in it. When we put it on the dyno it made real good power. It's not making that much more now.

I wrote this because I hear to often that my car can't go that fast because the combo is not good. I think most combo's are good you just have to work on it or phone a friend BP

Bruce I just read my post again and nowhere did I call out either Armstrong or Ficcaci. Both are premiere engine builders.

When I first read your post, I interpreted it the way you intended. You were saying that even though he was buying some of the best engines, there was still a lot of unused potential in the car.

I wasn't trying to pick on the Guys that I bought the cars from. It's so easy for some to say if you can run 1.20 under you should get HP. What if someone does it in your combo. There are not many combo's that if time money and effort are put into them that can't run 1.20 under. This weekend is Atco. Even this time of year in the heat Atco can be fast. How many that go to Atco this weekend will detune their car so they don't run a second under. My guess would be almost half he field.

Bruce glad to see you are out again. BP
