Whew . . .
Okay, let’s conclude the Dynothon.
We came up short of our goal, which would have been a minimum of 93 hp, at which point we landracing.com would have been able to collect on all pledges made by the friendly folks here. Thanks to all for your participation. We enjoyed the push, and the push will continue, because there is more to be had from this combination.
At the end of the day, and running into a noise ordinance curfew imposed on T&T in the municipality of Gurnee, Illinois, our best pull clocked in at 88.2. Given more time – which I will coordinate with Tom, Mark, Don and T&T, I am certain we will be able to best that.
But for the purposes of the Dynothon – your multiplier is 88.2.
We have reams of data to comb through – 15 complete and incomplete pulls, tuning notes and recollections that Mark and I need to coordinate, but we all agree that we left horsepower on the table – and we’re going back to get it. In fact, I didn’t even bring the engine home – it’s on a dyno cart, waiting for our return
I’ll have a complete breakdown on the day over on the Milwaukee Midget build diary at some time that I can bend my mind around it. But once we got a working carb on this thing, we were making jet changes and ignition changes at a break-neck pace. It was 7 hours of maddening tedium followed by a geyser of useful data.
The fun has just begun.
Again, THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED!
Slim – expect some checks in the mail!
Everybody else - PONY UP!
Sincerely,
Chris Conrad
