Tim,



Nice video of the record run.



Also enjoyed the video on the pressurized rockers. My rockers are not pressurized but the overflow tube is restricted so I guess I'm somewhere in the middle. Next time around I may try the pressurize route. Since I have Dove rollers (expensive) I think the pressure system might be better.



Keep up the excellent work.

I've run my rockers pressurized for years with no problems. Put a restricter in the bottom of the rocker pedstal, blocked off the ends tubes, and the oil pressure seems to be better for it as well. Now I do it to all my y-blocks.

Reed P, I think that was a misspell and it should have been "Turbos"...

You know what they say...the only thing better than a turbo engine is a TWIN TURBO engine

Speed Dreamin,

First, welcome to the site.  There are lots of interesting discussions going on here and I am sure you will be entertained and enlightened.

Thanks for the comment.  One thing I have noticed is that the firing order of the Y-Block sure makes a different (and in my opinion, better) sound than just about any other engine I hear out there.

Yes/No, The BNI only gives a trophy to the last record set in each class at the end of the week.  We set the record on Tuesday and had to leave for Columbus, OH for the Y-Block Nationals and Shoot Out.  The previous record holder was there and wasn't able to keep our pace until later in the week when he took the record back (hence, the trophy went to him).

Yes, they did recognize our record and sent us a nice plaque.  So, we're still in the hunt to be the last one standing in August.  It is one of those "just wait till next year" deals.

By the way, the entry name for that other record holder is also "Speed Dreamin", is this really you Roy???
