FE Engine Dyno Results / Re: BP 475 FE For My Mach 1

 Certainly should try it with existing cogs.
I go through traps @7050 with 4.86s and a 29” tire. The engine feels like its tongue is hanging out. So I swapped in some 4.57s but have not been to the track with them yet to see if they make a difference.
My peak hp is @6500.

Wicked pump gas engine.
Might need more gear? How tall are the slicks?
Congrats!

That system is proven and you also should drop a few lbs.with it. It will be more clunky back there.
I notice the whole car rises up at launch. So you are getting some “plant” out back. What front shocks are you running?

Sorry to hear that Ma Nature has thrown a wrench into the operation. Upon seeing the title of your post I hoped we were going to talk about an actual third member gear change🤪
Good luck with sales.
Wish you were closer to me.

FE Technical Forum / Re: Access hole for air gap check with Lakewood
« on: September 21, 2026, 07:33:40 AM »

My double flanged Lakewood has been whittled enough for headers & clutch linkage that it is not likely a candidate for recertification. I’m not concerned about that. A hole at the bottom in the round area would be easiest.
In the thread Brent shared, ( thanks much for that), it was mentioned that air gap could be checked through starter window.
Didn’t think of that.

That will leave plenty of wiggle room for a standard width feeler gauge.
Thanks for tip!

FE Technical Forum / Re: How many header bolts are you using on shock tower cars

Top & bottom only. Bigger issue with my Crites are leaks where the tubes go into the collector. 
Some of the high heat RTV smeared inside the collector before tubes go in helps there.

Anyone done any drilling on a Lakewood to gain access for checking their clutch air gap? I was hoping to get a dimension from a starting point. Looking to get it right the first time.
Thanks.

Nice work Phil.  What was cut off to get into Quick 8 this year?
Was it you who said hello at Lebanon on a Wednesday night a few weeks back? I have the black on black Fairlane.
If so, I apologize for not recognizing you.

Alright, Alright, Alright!
Congrats on getting into 10s
33* total might be all you need with those heads.

FE Technical Forum / Re: Surging at light cruise
« on: September 03, 2026, 11:33:21 AM »
Sounds like a potential transition from off idle to mains being in fully. Surging often indicates lean condition.  You could experiment with mixture screws. Back ‘em out 1/4 turn at a time. Even if this compromises a lean quality idle it could confirm you are lean at cruise.
If confirmed then you could re-set screws and take air away via idle air bleeds, ( if carb is so equipped). Also experiment with taking air away from HSAB,( again, if carb is equipped with them).
I have found that from engine to engine, the time that the HSABs become impactful varies. At the rpm you are having the problem it could be either.

« on: August 25, 2026, 08:18:20 PM »
Joe, it looks like even though it’s a 2015 helmet the cycle starts the following year. So 2016 till the end of 2026 is the 10 year window for that helmet.
I believe Dallas is correct in it being good through this year.
