Ed Hess at Atco..

Re: Ed Hess at Atco..

My point being......That one intercooler has each side getting 20+ psi thrown at it and meeting in the middle, then exiting the same spot...... If each had its own intercooler then there should be less pressure drop and cooler air when it exits. If you look at the article, picture that intercooler split into two and instead of one exit coming out the top, picture two. Then gradually close the gap and splice the two together right before the TB. Thats how I would picture it being done.

Hm, air or gas or fumes does not behave as liquid so the comparasy does not work quit well but i get what u point at. Teorie and reality is 2 different things..

But trial and errors is the way to know

Re: Ed Hess at Atco..

I can see air conflicting with each other inside the intercooler :rotf: I guess I was thinking more along the lines of 2 exits instead of cramming all that boost (from 2 turbos) out of one hole :dunno:

Re: Ed Hess at Atco..

...I have to disagree with you on this, there are plenty of people pushing the limits but they either been run off from ehre by the ingorance or just never bothered by the bs. I think that is being shown since there are so many "fast" truck coming out of the woodwork nowadays.

Now a little friendly competition is always a good thing, but we can't let it get to the point where the rest of the community has to suffer because someone doesn't want to share information because of the attitude that person gets from someone or the board in general.

I have sent Ed many a PM asking little questions here and there and he has always been very quick to respond with whatever he knows. Maybe that is because I show him the same respect I am given..... I dont know.

But to say you have to give to get is right on.... but that goes with attitude as well.

ditto for me. This subject has been broached many times, and I for one dont know why I even pop my head in here anymore...friendly competition is good. Drama is not. I dont have the time anymore. Say what you will, there have been many very seasoned SyTy'ers run off this board for this, and other equally offensive postings/statements. Keep it up..the list keeps growing.

Re: Ed Hess at Atco..

give 'em hell Ed, make that 8 sec pass

Yes I wounder whats happends to Ed and his new combo?

I´ll guess the whether is closing down even over there, here is barely over 5`celsius and heavy rain, they say snow is to bee seen in the end of next week (hope not I´ve got no winter tires with minispikes on yet)

Anny one close to Ed thats know if he did some good results this weekend or not?

He told mee " soon Anders Soon" so I guess he tryes to win our lithle bet about the 8 this year..and take the wopping $5 bucks..

Nuff with the jokes now..


Im still serius with the chearing on Ed to finaly take his 8 and be first on US soil with it..
Whats happened and how´s it going for Mr Hess? Progress or disaster, everything is of intresst..

Regards

ATCO, the track he races at, races until middle of December.

Yes but the wether gets colder (good for power) and the track the same, colder. and thats not good for tracktion.

I think the time is up for the record runs for this year, BUT maybee IF the sun gets a whole weekend shining the whole time the temp in the track is gona raise to acceptable nr´s so the tracktions returnes and he might have a shot at it..

the year -06 is soon ended..

dgoodhue, have U heard any of Ed? progress or not?

Yeah I have expereinced the track being too cold decreases traction.

Anders, I probably know less than you do about Ed Hess's progress. I am not in that loop of updates.

Neither am I, thats why I´m askin..

Yes a cold track has lousy tracktion,

here in sweden it happened before (when I was more active as a driver in the -80ties early -90) when the rain came every body in lower classes was asked and ordered to go out and run the cars up and down the track to try to dry it up, so the competition could be held. :O

I can realy tell U about BAAAAD tracktion was´nt race , was slippin and a sliding..

U could toss dices about the wictory just to ceep us safe..

but rules was, U had to run the 1/4 mile to have a winner.

Re: Ed Hess at Atco..

Ok, soon its crismas Ed.

We have´nt heard from U for a while, how things going with the "Beast" and the soon to come 8 run..?

Over here Robert and I are drinkin to much strong coffe, and are pretty sure Robert (after some tuning in the chassie, he already have the power) is going to park his Sy somwhere in the 8,7X - 8,6X et

After analysis of the runs and computer simulations we discovered that Robert is spinning his tires for the first 60 - 80 feet thats killing the good 8 sec runs all the time, thats why we do only minor changes on the car, for next year..

Anders -

Bear in mind that the tires slipping in the first 60 feet or so may well be the only thing keeping some of your drivetrain from breaking. It's a great idea to stop the spinning, but be ready for some breakage for sure. Good luck!

Re: Ed Hess at Atco..

Oh yes we are awhare of that and still wants a 2-3% slipage on tires but not wild spinn about the lenght we do now..
But drivetrain is farely bulletprof as is right now..
