GINGERBREADMAN Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 dry sump legal ?...cubic inch limit ? motor height spec ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STAGGER77 Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 dry sump legal ?...cubic inch limit ? motor height spec ? The way I read it is anything goes that pertains to the engine as long as you run a 390 carb. But the motor must be in the same location as the other alternatives. I don't know if it will work, you can already spin the tires off the corner with a ct400. Add 200hp and take away corner speed, it will be interesting to see if it works.3/8 mile not sure but a track like san Antonio hell ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRfan Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 good move hmp, stagger i guess you never saw the super late models in the romco and usra days run at houston. i think most of the the pro lates at houston are former super late models with a crate motor. but the open motors can still put down the power with the 10" tires. the option seems to work pretty well with the pro mods in houston and kyle.

Actually JRfan, Jason's got a point. Romco was 2600lbs and 58% left side weight. That extra 200hp can make up the 160lb difference in weight, but it won't help the decrease in left side weight which translates to slower corner speed. If you come off the corner slower than the crates, you have to accellerate faster. HP will help, but only if you can get it to the ground. The point Jason was making is that he can already spin the tires coming off the turn with 400hp. Go back and look at Romco times. They're not that much faster than the crates and they will now be 160lbs heavier and 1% less left side weight. I say it's going to be interesting to see which works best, but I sure wouldn't sell my crate just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolliepollie Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 In the months of Feb, March, and maybe April the open motors will rule, but after that, it's on!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STAGGER77 Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Does anyone know what the fast lap times @ HMP were for Romco/USRA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierDaddy Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 If I remember right Romco was 2800 lbs., not 2600. Correct me if I am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
looneedude Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 i thought the romco cars where 2800 too. i think eddy wallace has the track record at a 13.81 greg davidson had it at 13.86 if memory serves correct but hoosier tires make a big difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txtom Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 i think eddy wallace has the track record at a 13.81 greg davidson had it at 13.86 if memory serves correct We reset the record to that around 2003 or so, but that was not the end record. I know it was the new car. I don't know off hand what the actual record is, but I do know that Brandon Bendele went 13.739 on May 22, 2004.

hray Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 ............hoosier tires make a big difference They're worth 3 tenths minimum. I've still got our Romco motor-pickled and ready to go-but I'm not selling the crate just yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
