Sloppy Mechanics

Dyno day!

So i got a call from timmy on friday he said he would have a racecar on the dyno sunday, an AMC Javelin i think it was, im not too familiar with these cars, not to mention it was tube chassis and totally fiberglassed etc. Very neat car and nice people, i believe it was running a 430 some cube motor with 14:1 compression, running on alcohol. they made some pulls taking the car out of a sub 10.0 AFR into the 12s, and they were around 36 degrees of timing and on one pass the motor let go. Sorry to see the car go like that, i was excited as im sure they were excited to see it make a few nitrous passes. i dont know if the gear ratio's were huge or what but the motor seemed to really not want to rev, they were going to inspect the damage and see if the engine builder was to blame, Im sorry to admit that i didnt get the damage on film, it was pretty crazy though, shot hot pieces of rod and pan out the bottom and then smoked so bad i thought there was a fire.

Also at the dyno timmy was installing his master powers blower on the lightning, 60lb injectors, SCT 2400, and dual 255lph intank pumps. Lots of work, i couldent stick around to help or snap pics but i did get one of the new blower. He should be dynoing it sometime soon, maybe i can get video of it. Here are the pics and video.
