My engineering drawings for Furyious

[C Body Bob]

I have been working on my new (to me) race car a lot recently. I installed an aluminum manual steering box & cleaned & inspected all the steering linkage. While I had that out I cleaned them up nicely & install super HIPO Red tie Rod boots. My calculations are that the Red boots should be worth a full tenth (.010) in reduction of the quarter mile ET. Getting a lot of push back on that. Some even saying there will be no improvement in ET at all from the Red tie Rod boots. So reluctantly I have decided to share my engineering drawings to prove my claim. If you study these drawings it's quite clear how I came to the full tenth improvement in performance.

It is very clear to me - nice work Bob....

Thanks. You clearly have a high IQ like me.

I found out that the 6" one was good for 10 hp...

Really. Darn because I have an 8 inch

So does that mean I Red Lighted ?

That's 15 hp but doesn't get pass tech inspection...

I will have to agree with you C Body Bob.The newer silicone based boots have a lower wind resistance co-efficiency than natural rubber,thus in theory your findings may be correct.

... you guys are blowin my mind, man ..

Thank you. My findings exactly. I was able to hook up a series of 1100 watt hair driers on a pivoting table to simulate wind resistance. Powered by two 4500 watt generators. My co-efficient drag numbers I'm not gong to publish. I just can't give all my secrets away

Just remember each of those spark plug washers are good for 1HP too. You got a V8, might as well triple em up and get 24HP lol. Add a picnic table wing on the back it adds an incredible full 50hp

I bought a "Go Wing" at a swap meet that I plan to install after initial testing is confirmed on the Super HIPO Red tie Rod boots. I can modify my 1100 watt hair drier stand to flow over the roof onto the deck lid.

thats it only has 69k on it , still has stock exhaust system . but some helper coils from the rear end to the frame . and busted masson jams n lids mixed in to the straw coming out from the trunk area besides the back seat , and in the trunk as well . long story about that car . was looking for a 62 dart at a swapmeet in sacramento california , was just asking everyone that had a mopar at the event . ask this older guy standing next to a beautiful 65 sat commando 383 4spd car red / black interior . what a beauty it was . he said no 62 , but i got the sister car to this 65 . so off we go , to check it out . it turned out to be its sister alright . but it has air too , a 4spd car with air ! his didn't have that . he bought his new red one in arkansas and his bud bought this white one also , got a deal on it , do to it being a salemen sample car . had too many miles on her to sell it as a new car totally . had to wait for the next years models to hit the lot , then they could complete the sale , but it was paid for . so he had his car sitting at the dealership , and talked them into letting him take it to the track . but far from that , he ran shine with it . it was a un-owned , un-reg un-lic , no paper trail to get him with . so that its start in life , shine runner . he retired it off and was going to turn it into a chicken coupe , when the bud here called him and brought it out here to california . still has the stock trunk mat and jack in it . been polished so many times the paints wore off down to the primer . and thanks for permission to build your design , bud .
