Racing an FI car.

Re: Racing an FI car.

It is Chris Wickersham. He is quietly working out of his old Pasadena store. I will PM his address and email Jerry.
He modified my air meter on my old 64 silver / red roadster (Tom Cotter owns the car today and will be in your class). We got close to 750 CFM out of the old Rochester unit. That along with the 'big nozzels', an little work with the axel link, and interior clean up on the phlenum all help. Transistor ignition, and a MSD 6-AL box (hide it under the dash) provides great spark that gave me almost 2 sec. a lap better time.

Remember these days were 1989-94 when 1:51's were average, 1:47 was fast, and 1:45 put you on the pole. Today, 1:39-1:41 is not uncommon. So just remember it is 10 laps of "FUN". ENJOY the complete experience and other events as time permitts.

I will be at the event this year with my old Corvette race buddy Joe Freitas (SCCA CAL CLUB A/P Champ 1962 with his 61 Corvette he bought from Dave MacDonald). Joe will be racing his 69 'MO CARTER' Trans Am Camaro from Canada in group 7A on Saturday. Joe says this is his last race and he wants to sell the car after this great weekend.

Thanks Jim. I have contacted Chris and he and are are trying to find enough "doner' parts to put otgether a funtioning unit to start modifying. I can't see sacrficing an NCRS concures unit to be machined and massaged.

John,
can you recap what we would use if not the K&N, and if possible provide a part number(s). I would like to do this to my '65 if it will be better than the stock foam element.

Re: Racing an FI car.

chevy tell their dealers when a duramax comes in for waranty work to look for a "polished" turbo impeller because that is a sign of the use of a K&N filter because the fine stuff that get thru the K&N did the polishing !

F**d does the same thing. I was at a dealer one day when the SM told the vehicle owner he would have to pay for the turbo replacement, $3,600, due to the dusting. I had to leave before it became a "blood letting". I hate the sight of blood anymore, especially if it mine
