Usually when welding on cast, the weld is more than twice as strong as the base material. I can imagine the ground surface would hold up very well. The cams would probably be more prone to cracking right outside the heat affected zone than ever wearing out. Since there so low-load Im sure it...

With the same WG spring?

I dont think you should worry about money. Go where you will get the best experience. Kick ass experience with no/low pay will be worth way more in the long run. In my first few jobs I suffered for 16 months (at one place) before I left for a 85% raise. If you dont get good experience leave...

Hey this isn't a hijack you will never get this kind of advise anywhere in the real world, IMO this thread should be required reading for a prospective engineering student. Bummer of a story, sounds like your doing what I would recommend. I will add that when I went from Automotive to...

If your the only Engineer in a small company, yea they are going to lean on you heavily to provide all sorts of calcs and applied mathematics. Thats fine if your boss appreciates you. If your a high earner in a small company they have nothing to compare what your worth, you have no peers, and...

This man speaks the truth. I worked for GM for almost 4 years, Lansing Automotive Division, (LAD) Engine packaging (Quad 4 and others), Flint Powertrain, V6 engine design (Supercharged 3.8 liter Series II), (everything but the 4.3 liter, "Truck" owned that cause it didnt go in any cars) and...

You wouldnt believe my plate if I told you. Ask Big Aaron he saw it

2 cause those seats remind me of a baby shit accident, but revised to a 10 cause you made me laugh out loud Oh and dont miss the videos Psycho billy reminded me I had Psychobilly Cadillac video Psychobilly Cadillac video #2

10 cause you know that dude rallys his Sup like he does his truck This is my buddy Shannon Campbell this is one of his first competition single seat rockcrawlers with a Cadillac Northstar in it, he called it the Psychobilly Cadilliac, I know the man in black coined the phrase but I think he...

Yea slam that thing (not all the but like 80-85%), get a 1 way LSD and crank up the rear spring rate, increase the rear sway bar all the way, leave the front sway bar a little better than the middle, same with the springs. Crank in a ton of rear camber and a conservative amount of front like...

My Je Pistons do this too. It really doesn't seem to completely go away when it warms up. Clifton's slaps when its cold too. I just called him and he said his seems to go away when it warms up.

I KNOW that is one of your issues, if you have others I couldn't say. If you search the boards you will see this all over the place. If you think about how fast a WG has to react all the time that could definitely be the cause of that jagged graph. Remember if the WG opens no matter what the...

About as strong as balsa wood. :biggrinbo

No matter what boost controller you have you can only "reliably" double what the wastegate spring is worth. Usually you can get just barely more than double what the spring is worth, IE a 10psi spring would/should only be good for 22 +/- psi. We have experienced this many times. What makes...

Trust me for the money I don't think there is a better one out there.

Dave, if your going to cut and fit aluminum tubing, you need a Band Saw and a Belt Sander. I was surprised that you didn't destroy your coil pack mounts with the Sawsall. There is no substitute for the band saw, I cut all of my plumbing about 1/4"~3/8" long and then sanded it back. After a...

^^^That car looks SO amazing in person^^^ We towed it back from SEMA in 05 and had to open the trailer for the Security dude at the Hover Dam. He was a cool cat until he saw that car, he was pretty shocked, it was kinda funny.

There is a whole website dedicated to those swaps, there are tons of people that have done it. Checkit http://www.supracharged.com/

I dont think the Zonda has a chance to beat the Z if I had the boost at 22+psi Clifton attended a Dyno Day with the exact Zonda I am refering to and I dont recall the exact HP but it was close and Cliftons tune was very off. The Zonda does weigh quite a bit more, I dont think it has a...

My car weighs 2560 lbs with more than a half tank of gas. My friend lent me his Longacre scales that were just back from calibration.
