i got too much power from my most recent chip and i snapped a pushrod in half

time to buy the hardened ones tomorrow.

hey robbie pm me or something we gotta talk.

 

u can get some hardened ones from summit a set for 30 dollars there coated or somthing for use with guide plates

 

thanks i found some from compcams that sell at my local kragens im gonna pick up tomorrow.

i guess thats what happens when you burn through first second and spin the tires into third.

 

good luck with the chip burning and have fun adjusting the rockers again

 

thanks

do you run an aftermarket chip?

 

yaa but it was for my other motor with the l98 heads stock stall smaller throttle body and a difrent cam i need to have it redone but im still waiting

 

who does your work?

 

on the motor myself the nos did myself heads cam rockers u name it if i dont now ill learn it to many idiots talk like they now what there doin and dont no a hole in there *** hmm trail and error i know the tpis in and out i use to just mess with carbs but when it comes to a chevy small block easy and for the chip i had a fast chip done but need to send it in have it redone for my stall and stuff but waiting cause i might get the blower and have it set up for the blower

 

hey travis look at the racing forum u see that ta cuttin like 1.4 60 ft on a ten bolt 10.2 1/4 mile that ****s bad *** he has a p600 charger with a 125 shot but im shocked with the 60 ft 10 bolt still alive

 

i have plenty of faith in the 10 bolt and t-5's

they are more sturdy then people think.

 

i dont i killed a t5 and well 10 bolt i dunno i been keepin an eye on it but 1.4 60 ft i put mine to a 1.7 and i had a bearing spin on the pinion gear so i had to redo it and well stepped up to 3.42 but i guess im guna find out how far a 10 bolt can go

 

same here, 10 bolt disc 3.42 swapped into my car for the junk 9 bolt it previously had with 2.77 gears

 

last week there was a guy out there with rs camaro with a ls1 t56 swap but still needed to be dialed in it just ran low 14.s

 

No kidding? Any pics?

I would think that combo even in stock tune would go at least 13s...

 

theyre supposed too.
if they are running stock ecm from the donor car their would be no tuning issues besides being factory tune and that is enough for 13's

 

no tires some skinny 15.s but i was suprised myself bone stock lookin rs till he popped the hood ls1

 

well it wasnt i seen 14.3 14.2 he said it whould run high 13.z but i seen him race twice and it wasnt no 13 second passes he wasnt launchin hard i think it was all in reaction and the crappy tires he had some 15 inch z28 rims with skinny tires im talkin the looked like 225 60 or smaller all around

 

ouch and you know how those guys with 6 speeds run down the track, 14.2's n all..

 

I wish you would have snapped a pic, I would have liked to see how it looked!!!!!!!!!!

 

i think he said it was his first time in i dunno how many years u guna have ure car together grudge night saturday im guna try to make it out there with a couple of friends one has a mustang ran 12.7 on the motor and i dunno if he finished hookin up the nos 100 shot and i have another friend he has a auto volvo turboed with 50 shot of nos he runs 13.3 its funny as hell watchin him at the street races spankin the gt mustangs and all

 

i have a video clip of 2 weeks ago when i ran 12.3 and.12.4 i wish they whould of got the 12.2 pass but that weds night it sucked track clock was messin up and then someones care broke spilled on the track that night i only got 3 runs

 

its those sa rocker arms with guide plates, or your valve springs alls i can say is


I TOLD YOU SO

 

its not the self aligning rockers sorry buddy, and i dont recall anything about the springs??

you lose.

 

only thing that looses is poor poor pink fairy

 

at least when my car breaks i can have it running on the road again with a weekend.

 

I was waiting for this thread. Stop beating on her travis, or she's gonna blow a rod through the side of the block, punch a hole in your front quarter panel and hit someone walking on the street, bust their leg in half and come to a rest next to them as they die a bloody death..

okay well maybe a little melodramatic, but the point remains..

 

that would be sweet, as long as i got to keep the rod

i dont care if it breaks too badly as long as my heads stay ok

 

i wasn't aware you could use sa rockers with guide plates.
i thought it was one or the other.

what's in your setup again travis?
didnt you get all new springs/rockers etc?
and what part # pushrods did you buy, did you need a special length?

 

you cant, and its redundant....


self aligning rocker arms have .60 in play, nsa have .20in play, the guideplates do most of the work its possible to work but it will end up like travizzz rod, broken.

 

haha you think thats the reason if so why only one? ya exactly stfu

 

you think having more power will break it??? no,,

the pushrod will have the same geometry and pressure as it does with 100hp, or 400hp, the valvetrain goes unchanged when you change a computer chip.....


owned

 

explain the one then.

 

FIGHT!!!! HIT HIM!!!!

 

Is she fixed yet Travis, how does it run, any new chips burned lately?

 

10/29 grudge night people sac raceway5 to 10. $6 dollars for spectators $35 for car and driver

 

play has nothing to do with it the reason it's not recommended is, most of the time people use stock push rods and they are not hard enough so the push rods would rub against the guide plates and would wear down and will brake over time.

as for the play if NSA has .20 of play, you would basically never really rely on the SA

 

Just the weakest one,first to go.

 

Travis, despite the problem you had with the pushrod you have to be encouraged about what kind of gains you got with just a new chip.

Am I right?
