Looks like I found a new home!

Hope there is room for another gear-head around here...

Sure there will be. If they ignore you just jump over to the 'Australian Forum'..

Hey Randy,
The more gear heads the merrier. Is that your yellow Cobra on the ASPerformance website? Looks great. I just hope it doesn't clash with my yellow Cobra.

Thanks fellas...

Seems like I may have worn out my welcome elsewhere..

Here is a picture of my FFR Spec Racer "Hoss" - AKA Captain America

Hi Dave,

Things are going pretty well between having the equivalent of 2 full time jobs - I am finally getting ahead of the bill collectors.

Projects:
* Minor upgrades and repairs on my FFR Spec Racer.
* Working on putting on a new convertible top on my 87 VW Cabriolet (I've never done a soft top before - this should be interesting) so I can sell it in the spring.
* Finished building the new engine for my 69 Camaro SS - just need to find another tranny so I can put the "Number's Matching" engine and tranny away in the corner to preserve the value of the car.
* I've got another customer Cobra to work on - building a 450hp 351w stroker, installing fuel cell and new dash - It's an FFR.
* Repairing body and light frame damage to Ken's FFR Spec Racer.

Oops - I can't forget about all the household stuff - new Bathroom floor, new tub and surround - walls - etc.. Of course lots of mirrors to make the missus happy you know..

How about you?

Now that Cobra looks great. We have one over here that runs a flag across the bonnet/hood.

Sure would look good on the track there.

Randy,

Set email to your web site addy, and also one here...wanted to talk about carbs. Are you at the number on your web site??

Jack

Thanks Bernie!

Jack - my updated email address is not on the website yet (gotta get that updated one of these days)..
New email address is ASPerformance @ mn.rr.com (take the spaces out on either side of the "@"...

The phone number is not current either. That's what happens when you move and change ISP's...

Sorry to see you go form the 'other' forum, but I'm glad to see you decided to stop by over here.

Big-Foot · #11 (**permalink**) 11-05-2004, 07:10 AM

Thanks Mike... This looks like a nice place to hang out. I think I'll be here a while!

Hotfingrs / Jack - I did get your email. I will try to get to it before I leave town tonight - otherwis it will be Sunday or Monday. Meanwhile do NOT run your engine above 1450* EGT absolute MAX or you will cause major damage to your pistons, rings and cylinders... I prefer to limit EGT to 1300-1350 unless it's in a drag car where we can hit 1400 for just a couple of seconds.

If you get a moment..

What are the specs on the 351w stroker you are building - 450HP.

Fits my profile - just curious..

...then I put the NOS on..

Bernie

Hi Bernie,

Current plan is;

392 - 10.3:1 compression, AFR205 CNC heads, Edelbrock RPM Airgap, Holley 800 DP, Comp Cams custom roller cam .570ish 112ish CL. We could get into the 500hp range with a bigger cam and more head, but would sacrifice streetability which I don't want to do..

Hey Randy, Sorry to hear about you leaving the other forum. I posted a Pic for you there before I knew.

Alan

Big-Foot · #15 (**permalink**) 11-08-2004, 06:22 AM

Hi Alan,

This forum works pretty good! A lot of different areas so it seems like the range of topics is good, but since the forums are more specialized, staying "On-Topic" might be a bit of a challenge for folks like me..

I'm doing my best however!

Post your pic over here if you will - I'm not going back to the other place any time soon. It's just not going to work out there...

Thanks Alan - I hope things are going well for you!

Alan DD · #16 (**permalink**) 11-08-2004, 03:26 PM

Randy, I"ll post it when I figure out how.
