The "pinion" does look better than Woody's! It has all of its' 17 teeth, axle sprocket is 34 teeth so 2:1 ratio. With the 24.5 rear tires and the engine/trans ratios it works out to just about 200 mph at 10,000 rpm, hope we make it there!

  Can you change the rear sprocket without removing the rear axle?
I have seen sprockets cut in half so they can be changed easily.
Chains draw more HP the smaller the sprocket gets. If you have the clearence, 18 or 19 on the countershaft
 would be good.

Bones,
You are so right about chains, I do have an 18 tooth counter shaft sprocket but no 36 tooth axle sprocket. I did not cut the rear sprocket in two but have seen that done. Our plan it to run pretty much what we have just to get experience with the car and then next year part of the plan it to try to convert to HDP cog belt drive.

It's been a long time but I remember that you can buy them already cut. I had to do that in Industry or tear a machine completely to change speed. Production wanted to speed it up regularly,only to change it back because the product wasn't right.

Getting our SCTA entry ready and thought I would include a pic for the program and since I don't have a picture of the finished car I made a sketch of what we are thinking it will look like. Looks like Sparky's with a small engine! Hope I can make the scoop look that good!

  Summit Racing has several hood scoops  Harwood #3164 or #3153 might be something you could cut and fit and there are others but I didn't look at all 43 pgs.

  We used a Harwood scoop from Summit and just used the front 4 inches. Bought mainly for radius opening.
