Thanks guys.. I only have 1.7 rockers now BUT I'm willing to upgrade. So, you guys are liking the 112 even 110 better? Typically in similar combos we have ran 114 LSA. A 112 would probably generate a pretty descent amount of TQ vs the 114 at 6800-7000 right?? That definitely has me thinking!!!!! I'l...

Good afternoon everyone.. Was wondering if you guys could throw out some cam suggestions please? I talked with aTECH at COmp and they recommended initially this one 11-747-14, but I thought it was too small.. He said he would get back to me in the morning with some suggestion.. I thought in the mean...

I'm thinking we are going to go that route!! I think we may go with the Turbo Start battery. In a boat it's easy enough to swap so it will make things SIMPLE!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the links!!!

cjperformance, thanks for the info!!! Only problem I have is I have to go out and buy a 200+ dollar charger for them.. May have to look into it though!! If it was me and I had a chance to do it over I probably would go with a 16v system but hind sight is 20/20. Thanks for the links!!!!!

Well I have to ask. Do you guys really think it's necessary to provide the MSD with 12.5+ volts? I've known people that have done dyno testing with 12 volts vs 16 and there was no difference. MSD claims that it will operate at 10 and that their is no difference between voltages because it has an int...

Here's a couple places I found them. 100A seems to be the smallest.

Dave I have located the jacobs accuvolt boxes should I be concerned of the amperage drop? Im just running a fuel pump,water pump,ignition,and data recorder with o2's. I know the voltage to the msd box is a potential problem the car runs big speed out of the blue then the rest of the time it seems l...

I used to sell a gadget to my nitrous users from Jacobs Electronics called an Accu-volt that solved your type of problem. Kind of a step up transformer I think. They got bought out by Mr Gasket which got bought out by...... and it seems to have vanished. Might do some googling. I sell more MSD magn...

I would like to know if anyone has tried a V battery voltage regulator or similiar units to boost battery voltage on a 12 volt battery. The application is 500 ci comp engine that we constantly struggle to get more than 12.0 volts to the msd box going down the track with a pc925 battery. I know I sh...

Alright here you go. Even removes cranyon from wallpaper!!

It strictly says this list is from the end user not WD40. The list is actually quite impressive.

I know we like using it when storing blocks, machining aluminum on the mill, lathe, grinding aluminum, etc.. I even use it to help clean my dirt bike chain, the wax I use on my dragboat prop and anything else that involves scotch brite (for the most part). I remember seeing a list of WD40 uses. I'll...

Thanks for the reply. I don't run an alternator and I currently run an accuvolt which produces 14v & 50A's. Anyone run a 16v battery?

Good afternoon everyone. I was wondering if I could get some thoughts on a couple things. 1. What batteries are you guys running? I currently run a MSD 7AL3 with air solenoids, electric water pump, fuel pump and fan. Do you guys think a 12v yellow top optima will handle the load? I currently run one...

This is just a general question. I was wondering if pro stock or any other teams out there remove the rockers after the race? Just curious. Is it just a completely waste of time?

Ditto on what Baprace said. I have a 555 with a 4.560 bore. Piston .015' in the hole and ran a .041" with no witness marks but I know it's really close. My compression height is not helping out the situation, increased piston rock. I'm told by some that .055" is about as far as you want to...
