It also has the new style race rear mount and short shifter. ( We stole shifter housing for a customer. SEND BACK CORES!) \u00a0The deleted balance shafts, 2.0 L short stroke and the super light new flywheel make it rev change perfect and quick. The lower inertia of the small clutch disks and gears really show. \u00a0On the street it was sick! Dropping effortlessly into gear at any speed. \u00a0Steve agreed, \ud83d\ude09 \u00a0big smiles on everyone. The old e85 made it even better with the popping and fireballs. So decided to make the Dragstrip. Going without a trailer. \u00a0Threw the tires \/ tools in the truck. 10 gal of fresh E85 to add at the track and drove there ~30min. Car is civil in rush hour traffic. Bit more pedal pressure than a B235R but ok. Open down pipe is a bit much is all. \u00a0Very fast even just cracking the throttle. \u00a0We get there and the tracks packed. Big boys and the shootout cars. \u00a0Stand behind a few in the starting line. Close, Back like 4 ft. :). Ok. Thanks for dragging me up there! \u00a0 My sponsor Dyno \u00a0billboard is sick but not up yet. Ok. We decide to head home. Steve drives this time I get the truck, \u00a0just leaving we stop at the light next to a chick in an Acura. Ear to ear grins around. Steve just barely gets on it. Sounds great. Good fireball on the one two shift. Can&#8217;t even hear the turbo yet. Then sparks and a fluid trail. What! I know right! WTF. Found on road hot: one b204 rod cap, one rod bearing flat, 4qts gtx, one driveshaft bracket a tow truck and you get the rest&#8230; Reason for everything. \u00a0Right Ed? \u00a0Would have been in the doghouse for oiling the track on a big night.<\/div>\n<div id=\"_mcePaste\">The 9mm stock rob bolts are pretty sturdy but accumulated stress caught up with us or we did more damage last year when the last Spec setup exploded. \u00a0Either way at least the clutch and gearbox troubles are going away. \u00a0Now time to build a B205 based motor with some technology.<\/div>\n<div id=\"_mcePaste\">Supercharged viper tuning on the dyno in HD http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CJMu5TiAaCI and twin turbo lsx nova with the headers glowing after that.. \u00a0Some sweet video of the drag car :<\/div>\n<div>Video:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=D74mgrhTkBg\">Drag Car<\/a><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: normal; font-size: 10px; color: #ffffff;\"><\/p>\n<table class=\"vatable\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"5\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"100%\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"vathumbs\" style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\">\n<div class=\"vafloat2\" style=\"float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; width: 153px; height: 153px;\">\n<div class=\"g-photo\" style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; width: 100px; height: 150px;\"><a style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration: underline; color: #ff0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/genuinesaab.com\/gallery\/Problems\/IMG_9746\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"thumbnail_1\" style=\"border: initial none initial;\" title=\"IMG_9746\" src=\"http:\/\/genuinesaab.com\/gallery\/albums\/Problems\/IMG_9746.thumb.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_9746\" width=\"100\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"vafloat\" style=\"float: none; width: 153px;\"><span class=\"dim fineprint\" style=\"font-size: 10px;\"><a style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration: none; color: #cccccc;\" href=\"http:\/\/genuinesaab.com\/gallery\/Problems\/IMG_9746\">[427&#215;640]<\/a> <a style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration: none; color: #cccccc;\" href=\"http:\/\/genuinesaab.com\/gallery\/Problems\/IMG_9746?full=1\">[800&#215;1200]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"modcaption\" style=\"font-size: 10px;\">\n<div>Somethings Missing<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"vathumbs\" style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\">\n<div class=\"vafloat2\" style=\"float: none; padding-top: 25px; padding-bottom: 25px; width: 153px; height: 103px;\">\n<div class=\"g-photo\" style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; width: 150px; height: 100px;\"><a style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration: none; color: #cccccc;\" href=\"http:\/\/genuinesaab.com\/gallery\/Problems\/IMG_9759\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"thumbnail_2\" style=\"border: initial none initial;\" title=\"IMG_9759\" src=\"http:\/\/genuinesaab.com\/gallery\/albums\/Problems\/IMG_9759.thumb.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_9759\" width=\"150\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"vafloat\" style=\"float: none; width: 153px;\"><span class=\"dim fineprint\" style=\"font-size: 10px;\"><a style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration: none; color: #cccccc;\" href=\"http:\/\/genuinesaab.com\/gallery\/Problems\/IMG_9759\">[640&#215;427]<\/a> <a style=\"font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration: none; color: #cccccc;\" href=\"http:\/\/genuinesaab.com\/gallery\/Problems\/IMG_9759?full=1\">[1200&#215;800]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"modcaption\" style=\"font-size: 10px;\">\n<div>Oh there it is in the oil pan&#8230;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finding a few spare minutes out of the week we were able to get the drag car back on the road with the new twin disk 7.5&#8243; clutch and four speed f25.
