"REPEAT OFFENDER" - Swoles back at it!

[Big Swole]

I never raced him but he said it was like 500-550 I think.. Is that right?

I never saw a whole pass with it.... I do however remember seeing his burnout.. It looked like only the right tire was spinning... I could be wrong though..long way away..

Back to the main subject here, Plasti Dip! My black plastic trim on my bumpers is gray now, will this stuff stick to plastic as well as the chrome? I really kinda want to do my bumpers and bars. Did the wheels and tint last year.

Well the main subject is the transformation of my truck and performance stuff, but yes I'd say the Plasti Dip would work very well on the plastic parts.
Just scrub the crap out of it and make sure it completely clean.
If it doesn't, I'll just peel right off.. No harm no foul...

I painted the black plastic on my front and rear bumpers this weekend just to try it out. So far it seems sturdy but Ill give it another day or two before I step on it. It definitely looks better than the faded grey it was getting.

No I doubt it's going to stand up to a lot of standing on it...The shoes / boots being twisted any will most definately pull it up in areas I would think...

But I'm interested to find out if it will...

Swole I'm thinking that maybe you should try to keep most of your future vehicle modifications to this forum here, http://www.competitiondiesel.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=44 . It would be cheaper in the long run and easier too, that and I like your style!

Thanks man!

Going to Reynolds GA (Silver Dollar Raceway) tmrw. night to run "Repeat Offender" down the 1/4... Rick will be there with Garmon's 6.7. Rich (Cumminalong) and Tom might be there too.

Anyone wants to join us, feel free!!

 

[Big Swole]

Went to Phenix City instead.. 1/8 mile.


Few vids to post...

Here's Rick in Garmons's 6.7.
Still trying to figure things out on it.
It's probably going to need to be back half'd to get any traction.

He spun the whole 1/8 mile.. You can here it.. lol
And the slicks are brand new..

Best was a 7.4x @ 96.xx Spinning!!

Left lane was slick and i spun and bounced badly.
Still ran a 7.75@90 with NO LOCK switch yet...
But my best tonight was a 7.67@90.

Few pics also... From the track tonight.

I really liking the Black & Khaki look I choose..

 

[loganp]

Dang, I haven't been on here in a while, nice ride!

 

[Big Swole]

Thank you Sir!!

Yeah, the Interceptor was put back stock (mostly) and then that just depressed me so i traded it in on my 2012... I parted out all the rest of the good stuff that came off.

This deal just fell in my lap... It's not quite as fast yet but fun, and seems to be holding up to me driving it... LOL

 

[Big Swole]

Here's the vid Rich from DogHouse shot of Rick and I racing ( the 2nd pass in the vid ).

This is the race I shot from inside the cab with my phone...

Racing looks kinda fun. Wish I could do that.

Why can't ya??

You can bracket race anything. Doesn't have to be fast.

 

[Headcase98002]

Oh, I'm sure it's pretty quick. Takes money and a track.

Found more power


I went out tonight and tried the clamping the boost hose on my secondary.
Took a pair of vice grips and clamped it all the way off.

It confirms my spring is too weak in the wastegate.

I went from making 62-63 total psi of boost with the primary making almost 40, to making 75 psi total boost and the primary only having to make 30 ish..

I had the same issue on my 95, went from 57psi to 66psi, and the boost on the atmosphere dropped a lot. It was only part of the story though, as drive pressure went from 72 to 99! I actually didn't pick up any power. So, leaving it wastegated might actually be a good thing.

My last 4 runs down the track only cost a little over $1000 each so I just need to pick up a side job. Maybe brain surgery or politician.(polar opposites).
