I saw this with three different SS 750 quickfuels the boosters were drilled wrong.

We've had a problem with every Quickfuel SS series doing this exact same thing. Put a P or Q series on and the problem goes away.

Was just going to say the same thing.

Let me guess customer modification.

Same here with the Champ pans way better and cheaper than the Canton pans in my opinion. Picked up several Hp in a pan swap from canton to champ a few years ago in a dyno test.

What's an average price for .904 SBC set of these

We've used the full torque inserts also have to put them in with a mill to make sure they are straight but they work very well. On the block we fixed you could see the crack pull together as we torqued the insert into place. It is the only insert we use on deck surfaces now.

We use Brad Penn in all of our circle track engines and have only seen improvements over other oils we have used in the past. Just had a 2 bbl engine come back with 68 nights on it 1/4 mile dirt 26 laps a night and could have used the bearings over and the cylinders still had a crosshatch in them wi...

The stuff is almost impossible to get anymore due to being on the national carcinogen list. Worked better in methanol than gas. Saw dragsters drop from 7.52 to 7.38 and 7.40 to 7.31 with 10-12% mix in alcohol. Fairly stable when mixed but evaporates easily. We only mixed what we would use for the day.

Got a ton of valves that look like that from running VP113.

We stopped using them about 3 years ago when they wouldn't last more than 18 nights in a 675 hp engine where the clevite bearing would go 40 nights

We used King bearings in the past on circle track engines to cut rotating weight but as the HP went up so did the problems of flaking the bearings apart. Switched back to Clevite and problems went away. The only thing we use them in now is 10:1 2 BBL engines.

Just had a 489 9.25:1 Hemi on the dyno. Warmed it up set lash and made a pull seemed down on power from what i thought it should be. Remembered i had 112 in the tank, drained it filled with 93 pump gas and picked up 40 HP.

Well customer wanted to go ahead and take them out regardless of my imput so i had him sign a waiver saying no warrenty of any kind on this build. I guess this will be a free test for us regardless of what happens. By the way it is a 1.250 spring .490 lift 6500 rpm 135 on the seat 330 open hydraulic...

Customer wants to take the damper out of a single spring aplication to save weight. That it will but i'm thinking it will let the spring go uncontroled and possible lead to valvetrain damage or instability. Any thoughts or should i just avoid this one?
