Project 200

if ive got to run 30 lbs of boost to do what im trying to do its time for a bigger motor with less boost.i know some motors are very limited to how big they can grow but theres still plenty of room left in a big kz after 1075,especially in a dragbike that only goes 1/4 mile at a time.there are plenty of 1197 turbos that run low-mid 5s in the 1/8 around here using stock blocks

yes plummen in a perfect world every body would have big blocks but some guy's dance to there own beat he just want's to see how quick he can get a small motor to go and by the way 30 psi is awesome it sounds so wild when he passes you at the topend of the track hopefully after the stripe of course.

im not talking bigblocks im talking 1197 with a stock block,30 lbs of boost has got to be playing hell on the bottem end of that little 1075

30lbs of boost would play hell on anything...I'd think.

just got a call from brian at extreme.my frame is raked 3 degrees! he said stock on the 74 is 26 degrees so now im sitting at 29 degrees,i do believe this is progress guys!:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

i wanted to go down today and get some progress pics but but got stuck on one of my boiler jobs from hell that i just got home from,maybe tomorrow ill sneak out of town.

Wish I could...gotta get back to 'the grind' tomorrow. I might be there next weekend. It's doubtful, but a definate "maybe". Did you get to check out the Blind Tiger, or North Star? Good eatin' ... I promise.

let me know when youre gonna be in town and ill make sure i get down there,then you can show me where it is! ive got a couple calls allready for tomorrow im trying to see how to put them off another day so i can sneak down there and hug my z1 frame.:woohoo:

Ha-haaaa!:laugh:
Will do!
It's very unlikely that I can get over there; but if it does come through I'll make sure to give you all the heads-up I can. It'd be good to kick-back at the 'Tiger for a bit and just relax...the semester is off to a stressful start as our brilliant governor has burried the state in two years of budgetary-deficit-spending as she can't run for another term, she's burning the bridge as she runs across it. So, the university has monster money problems b/c of this; that and our state supreme court...*ugh!*...sorry, I'd better not get started!

Catch up with you if I can!

PS> Last time I talked to Brian he was pretty excited about your bike.

i talked to him earlier tonight he was really excited!B)i dont know what the big deal is .its your typical 1385 street turbo with nitrous,ok maybe that is exciting!:woohoo: :laugh:

i think we got a lot accomplished on the frame today considering how slow i tend to move!(see pond water!:laugh: )got most of the steering head gussets cut out and tacked in place.need to run bracing from steering head to downtubes on each side,maybe get more done this saturday if i dont get pulled over again!:S :laugh: pictures tomorrow!
