sound like you guys had fun. Good job Beau on the 60 ft thats amazing. Sorry about your luck Pat I was hoping you car would run ok on time for the track

pretty fun weekend. theres one more TnT this year so my timing map is going to get a little make over so i can get a lagit 10 sec pass i still think even with the so called glitch the car was still in the high 10's

Are you talking about the TnT Sunday October 23rd at pacific raceways? I will try and make it to that. Hopefully we will both run well and problem free. :)

looked like fun down there, wish i would of made it. o well i'll be goin to pacific raceways on the 23 too.

Did you happen to see the differnt chips I burned for Jeff to swap out for different timing? I labeled the 24* race gas chip 'Beau Timing' hahaha

using a combination of couplers on her car, some home depot ones that are away from the heat, and some napa ones directly in the engine bay. Both of them blew off, and both of them are using T-bolt clamps and have welds around the ends of the charge pipes so they dont come off. Beau is pretty much using the same thing, without t-bolts with euro style clamps, but he blew a pipe off as well. I may have to double up on some of the clamps. Neither of us use SC61's, beau has a 60-1 T4, and My turbo is a 62-1 BB T3/T4.

;D damn sounds like a blast.Wish i was not a parent i would have been there.Was doing the mr mom thing.Anyway i am gonna have the turbo truck at pacific raceways on the TNT day just to get the time slip for this year.Dont think im gonna beat beaus time though but ill be gunning for the low 12`s
May wanna try my trick with the screw jeff since the other turbo swap i have blown the other charge pipes but the one rubber hose slipped inside the rubber coupler with just a clamp an a screw under it has held up fine.

Sucks about the car trouble. Congrats on the new world record. Damn I wish I could get to the track. Haven't been to the races this whole season. ???

Re:HMT goes to Woodburn Dragstrip! ::PICS:::
 

Why don't you guys just run straps on the couplings? weld 1 nut to each charge pipe and actually bolt the pipes together over the couplings. On my car I did this and I also cut a 2 inch piece of 2.5 inch pipe lengthwise and put it over the home-depot couplings. This was the rubber can't expand as easily. With doing all this I don't think you should have any problems anymore cause the charge pipes would be bolted together and the rubber couplings would be reinforced. Seriously, a nut and bolt is way stronger than any hose clamp.

Good idea there
