Manshoon11 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 It makes sense now. I read the post After I woke up from my after-work-pre-night class nap. I had to read it a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBEARDEN Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I think you have too much time on your hands...the Murphy's must not be flying much these days. Too much ground time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcarguy Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 Hey, Mike. Murphy's flying me plenty; just not much else to do in Eldo if you don't hunt or fish. . However, baseball season is kicking off, so I'll be knee-deep in the middle of that with my son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBEARDEN Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 El Dorado would be a wonderful place if hunting and fishing were all you wanted to do. Otherwise .... Next time you are in Little Rock call me...we can meet for lunch 501-978-2307 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xcarguy Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 After reviewing some on-track video of #85 (and having some discussion with other Stalker owners on the Stalker forum), extreme hood venting (for lack of a better term) was taking place once well into the triple digits. Air being forced into the front of the scoop at high speed was building under-hood pressure faster than the air could evacuate (of course, this is all theory and will have to proven on the track ). My resolve for the issue is a mixture of one old NACA duct (modified and reversed), one set of fender louvers originally designed for a 1987 Buick GNX (you guys remember those, right?) and a small piece of 8x8 spec aluminum wire mesh from McMaster-Carr (not yet installed): http://www471.pair.com/stalkerv/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=26697 . . . . . :smash: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xcarguy Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Dressing up the brick. :smash: A few more mods (sans a good test hop) for the Storker Suave Special. A couple more hood mods; closed up the hood scoop and added a dual NACA duct: http://www471.pair.com/stalkerv/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=27279 http://www471.pair.com/stalkerv/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=27279 Gurney Flaps . . . . we'll see: http://www471.pair.com/stalkerv/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=27347 And finally, something that is actually from the UK for my NAPA nurtured Neanderthal, an aero screen: http://www471.pair.com/stalkerv/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=27375 . . . . . :deadhorse: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowss7 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Hey Shane, how about adding a few real bricks to get the center of gravity lower. A couple dozen should do the trick. :seeya::smilielol5::jester: Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
