    Dimmer switch repair

    Pulled on the dimmer to go from high to low beams and something broke. The lever moves just fin but obviouly it's not connected to anything. And I stuck with high beams only. What do you think broke and how doI fix it? Thanks!

    Syclone 1567

    This is a trial balloon, just gauging if there is even any interest. Medical reasons will, probably, soon force me to sell my Syclone. Many mods. Many spares. Kick in rear to drive. Runs in the 11s at Sonoma. Won't smog of course.

    11.6 racing at Sonoma late last year.

    I'm at 1:33 and at 5:42. Watch the 5:42 pass you'll see two things. First) I roll in just a bit after the bottom bulb comes on. That's on purpose. Gives me a better reaction time. Second) You'll see his red light come on -after- I leave. That's called True-Start. You don't know who got the red...

    Not a drag race exactly so I'm putting it here.

    Made a short pull against a new Camaro this afternoon. Made a right at an intersection, he was right behind me and pulled into the lane on my left. I heard him get on it so, well you know. We only went about half a block but he did not gain on me nor me on him. It was a white convertible. We...

    Since security has become such an issue is there a plan to switch syty.net over the HTTPS?

    Turbo blanket ?

    Since I have the turbo off, because the heads are off, I'm thinking I'd like to blanket the turbo and wrap the DP. Any recommendations or just pick one off Amazon or Ebay? There some pretty inexpensive ones so I wonder about the quality. Thanks.

    Found this. Don't recall seeing this here. Interesting post on how the ECM works. How GM Electronic Fuel Injection Works If a dup post just delete.

    Pressurized cooling system, Very strange

    OK all you engine gurus. I've got a very strange situation. The engine, when running of course, pressurizes the cooling system. IE it's putting air into the system. Now before you just say blown head gasket I just ran a compression test. ALL cyls are between 150 and 160. (Remember I run 9-1...

    Once again a new best.

    No clue what I did differently other than I was a bit late building boost at the line but the truck decided to hook on my first pass last night. Crazy quick. 1.659 60', 11.491 @ 117. Dropbox - 11.491 slip.pdf I hooked again later in the evening, 1.686 60' but that was an elimination round and...

    New best

    Cool air, no wind at the track Sat AM. First pass is often my best as it was this time. 11.573 This with a 1.764 60'. If I can ever get a better launch I'd break 11.50 which, of course, is roll bar territory. Won't go there but it would be fun to beak 11.50 anyway. 118.78 mph. This thing is a...

    Sacramento

    Finally made it over to Sac. Some folks at Sonoma will tell you that Sac is a bit quicker. Well maybe by a little. Best ET 11.608 My record is a 11.50? run but this was obviously very close. Best speed: 119.17 definitely a record for me. I've -never- broke 119 at Sonoma. And it wasn't a fluke...

    Walbro pumps now made in Japan

    I just heard that Walbro pumps are now made by some outfit named IT Tech (sp?) in Japan. Anyone heard this? Would like to know the truth. I know fakes are big problem so I have my suspicions. Thanks!

    A win by 0.0046

    On this pass I slowed a tad to 110MPH but still posted an 11.885. This was for the win. IE the plastic.. Tight race. Easily my closest win. https://youtu.be/4cMHENZ7BE0 Taken by a friend's GoPro, posted on his YouTube. Earlier in the day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBfzhUb6g_8

    Ran 11.597

    This truck absolutely lives on cold air. Even with meth having a cold intake makes a huge difference with this truck. One 11.99 @ 114 pass, all others in the 12.0 range. Temps in the 60s with a lot of wind. Wind was on the nose to start then slowly switched to from the left. Wind doesn't seem to...
