Thanks guys, Appreciated!

here is the current mill i posess but i have a question?
I was going to just go out and buy a new mill but seeing as this one has plenty of Tq I'm happy with it overall especially with the Picco carb removed. HaHa....that pos was an on/off switch litterly! garbage!
Anyhow...my Q?: Is there a BIGGER cylinder head that fits right up to this block? If so, who and where can i locate them?

thanks again!

the tires and rims i believe weighed in at 3-4 lb for all x4. As for ballooning issues....not at all! they tear up the track and take pretty much anything i throw at them. They do look good and work, not just for appearance.

Thanks guys for all the comments!

woah! I'm sure they work well but adding 3-4lbs to the overall weight of the truck!

Your roll cage by drummer looks great! Hows it holding up in roll overs etc... plus do you have the weight of the cage? is it heavy?

 

[SwampDawg]

i built this rig for bashing, so weight is no issue for me!
it still stands on one wheel from the Tq but I'm sure speed runs would be effected. lol

U.S. Custom cage weighs approx another 2-3 lb I'm guessing?

As for running it this year.....haven't done so yet!
Between the Divorce I'm going through right now, Taking care of legal matters, Taking my kids, and all other things of life ive been more into racing my 1:1 Skyline so far, but financially I'm really hurtin' right now so this is where the poor Savage comes last. It needs a new piston/sleeve for the Wasp26, Bigger Cyl. head, etc... before i can run it again. So it basically get attention when i can give it and collects dust on all other days i don't. lol

one day.

[Mickey]

nice ride swamp. whats she run in the quarter? or do you roadcourse race it?

 

[SwampDawg]

well...i was going to the last months worth of autocross and that just didnt do anything for me. I was co-piloting in my buddies R32 and still...nothin'

went to the Eagle Motorplex this last weekend and my skyline is running like crap! Boost leak from BOV, and o2 is shot to hell.....
so, i have all new coming to me in the next week:
- Greddy RS BOV with T-section, couplers and clamps
- Emanage piggyback unit

I have just got a new NTK o2 sensor which ill be replacing hopefully tommorow. but my last runs were averaging at 14.4sec @ 97 MPH. I was not impressed at these timeslips at all as i and my buddies all know this car can do atleast low-mid 13's in the Least.

R/T's averaged @ .900sec
60FT @ 2.2sec
1/8 @ 9.6sec
1000 @ 12.4sec
1/4 @ 14.5sec (as mentioned)
