ford12 Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 I can pretty much assure you the car woud be faster if you change the cam. You really dont have to of a radical bottom end for that cam and Lalo told me he ran the 620 lift. Bobby ran that 651 for first 2 races last year and then went to the 620 and was a whole lot faster.

HiTech Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 it would be quicker yes .has its advantage ad dis advantage . but aslong as the driver and owner likes it its fine with me .if i ran the gears that randy ran it would be a bullet but its not as bad as you might think .at cc its a scary cam when it comes on you really have to whatch how you use it or you.ll be in the grass with the wieght thats on the car now a smaller cam like yous would really help .that car was scarry quick when it was only 2300 pounds .in kyle that cam pulls harder down the strieghts jack lalo serge and jammie has seen that .but i agree with you it would be quicker .

cRt racing Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 mike remember lalo went to a smaller cam so he could play a little more on the adjustments yea and lalo had a different driver in the car so he wasnt used to the car he didnt fit right lalo is a big man. joey had a hard time reaching the peddals . so the car wasnt running as fast as it should have and if you guys really think you are so hot . go run with the tps for several races the cars there are fast . you have a lot of guys that know what they are doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thumper Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Steven,the Rousch Team ( our pet name for Tims bunch because they have so many Fords like Jack Rousch) doesnt have to proove anything.They race more than their computer.They are very fast and dont fall apart all the time.In 3 years they have 1 championship on asphalt and are leading in points right now on a dirt track with very little experience.They have much respect from their peers and have all the FWDs worried about when they find that tiny bit we cant stay up anymore.A broken motor is only an irritation to them,not the end of the world.If you want to see a really fast and hard charging Ford team,go to STS tonight and watch.I do agree they have a very good chance at winning a Pro Sedan race with the correct tires,slicks are worth at least half a second.Maybe we can work out something where all the thunders can attend a Pro Sedan race together.Im sure you woant make it,broken pistons an all.So dont make challanges to my guys that you cant back up.Im proud of all the Thunder guys and they dont have to proove anything to anybody.I do wish Neil would find a way to include Legacy cars,there not so fast they have a special advantage and would really look cool.Maybe an invited class like some of the others.

cRt racing Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 ok guys your missing my point im not saying that your slow but i have the tapes and so does mike we turned 16.03 on street tires on a regular basis . i ran with the pro sedans and finished in the top three a couple of times running cc rules .im just saying its different when you run tps on a regular basis there are several drivers that are fast and you know youll be chasing them donnie - bill labarge- the dishmans it just takes a different attitude and if i find the right car i will build another mustang and you will see me on the track again i figure youngest son is 13 so if i build a car for next year i get to race it and he can learn and when he is 16 he can start driving so people be ready for the return of crt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiTech Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 16.03 on street tires. i doubt that. maybe 17.03 steven is correct steven you forgot scott broke the record. at 1583 in 1988 on street tires see thease young drivers dont think we really are telling the truth when we say somthing like that in facted if anyone wants to see any videos i and steven have some . and i as a rookie in 1989 with a 2000 eng with just a cam and a 5200 carb raced at 1623s on average and faster .with street tires .

HiTech Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 and before you have something to say over what we said .that track is id say a half or more slower than then so you figure today from then and its perty close .scott came out to the track after the 500 carb was alould.and the first thing he said was thats the fastest time these drivers can run with that carb 1640 . boy what we could of done back then with the eng yah have now . then we could only bore them out and run stock rods and cheap pistons heavy flywheels . and all .5200 carbs . so today the times are close .
