gundogC3 Posted May 16, 2005 Report Posted May 16, 2005 (edited) I, just had a question,,,,,,,,,whats the spring pressure allowed on a 350-305.....the reason I ask is if the 350(witch has more tourqe-cubic inches-bigger valves-and cost less money to buy than a 305 ) JON DENHAM'S Win should stand- Edited May 16, 2005 by GUNDOG33 Quote
ups88john Posted May 16, 2005 Report Posted May 16, 2005 gunnar, a rule is a rule, i think i know about as good as anyone after ccms last year in the big lm race. it sucks, but that is just the way it goes. better luck next time john. big john Quote
jont66 Posted May 16, 2005 Report Posted May 16, 2005 The spring pressure on the Crate 350 engine, is far less that the 305. That's what basically equalizes them, because they can't turn as many rpms. Also the rule reads - for the 305's (That the springs must measure a certain pressure at a certain height, not neccessarily the same as what they are installed at on the engine. Thanks Jon Garrett Quote
racerx Posted May 16, 2005 Report Posted May 16, 2005 Jon T...what is the spec?...missed seeing the 66 in the lead pack...it was already interesting, you would have just added to it... 305 = 350 = Quote
ProTree Posted May 16, 2005 Report Posted May 16, 2005 looking at the rule book-section 3.9 Heads- Rule 3.9-10 states -115 lbs at 1.700 inches when measured off the engine on an ARTS approved tester Quote
Bar2248 Posted May 16, 2005 Report Posted May 16, 2005 Everything checked out legal. Congrats on your win Jon. Quote
Crazyhorse Posted May 16, 2005 Report Posted May 16, 2005 way to go jon- you drove a hell of race.... -shawn paul Quote
racerx Posted May 17, 2005 Report Posted May 17, 2005 Good for Jon D, glad it turned out that way. He has always seemed like one of the good guys to me. Besides, Bill H hasn't won one yet and it would have sucked to win and not to get to celebrate it on the track. Quote
ups88john Posted May 17, 2005 Report Posted May 17, 2005 there ya go jon, what did i tell you earlier, wait and see. congrats on the win, and dang you got those springs set up tight. ha ha. big john Quote
Definitive Posted May 17, 2005 Report Posted May 17, 2005 The back of that truck was doing alot of fishing lol.He hung on against alot of pressure.Congrats Jon and good race once again in the truck series. Quote
jont66 Posted May 17, 2005 Report Posted May 17, 2005 Tommy answered the 305 question, the 350's are much lighter springs, not sure on the lb rating, but they are supposed to only use the springs that come on those engines. That's easy to check, since they all come with the same springs and part numbers. Trust me, they are way less than 115 at 1.7 Quote
22crew/ Posted May 18, 2005 Report Posted May 18, 2005 Besides, Bill H hasn't won one yet and it would have sucked to win and not to get to celebrate it on the track. I have to agree with you you here LL. I think Bill would much rather have out raced someone for that first win, dont you. Congrats. to Jon D.! I'll have another beer waiting in Houston for ya! Quote
