*****120HP Increase*****

Story goes like this....

My tow vehicle, Yukon Denali 6.0 motor, needs an oil change. I'm changing the oil at home and a friend recommends this additive that he SWEARS by. I never use anything but good oil... Anyway I add this thing into the oil, against better judgement....

Guess what happened? The vids will explain..

I need a few pressure sensors (0-100 psi and 0-200psi)

Anyone have a place to get these on a deal?

Thanks!

just gotta spam you guys again, im excited about this nitro gig

This vid is a day we took the car to our local industrial yard to fire up and run in two new engines and two clutch packs ready for racing next week , although we will have 5 or more runs so ill have many clutches to fit on the day
Im the guy with the grey baseball cap on the left pulling out the bellhousing and clutch , then im standing around on the rear wheel waiting for those engine guys to fit me a new engine so i can slap in a new clutch combo ,
it was a top way to spend my new years eve smelling nitro .

http://youtu.be/s_nfCYr6elc?hd=1

Ill be getting back into the rota rebuild soon as well, so ill have real updates soon

we got a new PB on the weekend, its not bad for a team that works out of the bosses back shed at his house literally .
new best of 5.11 @ 302 mph , got 5 runs in and two of me clutches cooked solid , and the other three were fine, all runs were in the low 5 sec zone except one when the blower blew of the top of the motor

Hi , sold all my 13b gear, bought everything in need for a 20b now, just need the 20b, buying a house real soon so its gonna take a while to get it pegged together .
Meanwhile im still doing nitro clutch work, but now im also doing ProMod/Doorslammer clutches , did my first effort today with a new team (different clutch to nitro) and in testing we scored a 6.0@ 235 , so far so good, got our nationals this weekend, so i see how we go .
Hope all you guys are still ripping up rota skids an ill give you a rota skid vid soon no doubt .
this is our camaro im working on at the Mo

anyway im spamming again, this is the last time our nitro unit came out to play, it was a old chassis and now we have a new monte carlo body and chassis lined up in the shed ,

http://youtu.be/nbEHRQkLycQ?hd=1

This is at the party we had after the season finished, got the missus to sit in the nitro dragster and funny car , she still thinks the rota is better, ahhh good girl haha




then i tried, i didnt fit too well haha, the dragster is for sale, i keep suggesting to fit a 20b in it for ***** an giggles, there is three rota heads on the team, we all agree that rota skids in a nitro dragster would be good haha
