Default RE: RBmods IMDRA drag race record Kangaroo engines

Oh no, sorry about that man. I didn't/want to come off that way either.

Since my last reply, I did talk to Ricky and he said that Ivan was using your modded engines and Ivan indeed ran 119 and 115 MPH passes that other people I know saw it run those speeds so yes it is true. They are great guys to deal with and test engines as well as I if you've got some more go fast goodies to test.

What I meant about the Funny Car class that I run in, is that my car is shorter wheelbase(22" MAXIMUM length) than the Top Fuel car that Ivan runs(36" MAXIMUM length). That extra 14" is HUGE, HUGE, HUGE and means he can get ALOT more aggressive with his clutch tuning to get a much, much better 6' time than the shorter cars can. Ivan gets around 2.10 six foot times on a regular whereas I can only get 2.7's since I gotta slip the clutch more to stay hooked up but lock enough to leave the line as well. The Top Fuel cars weigh less as well in the 36 oz. range but I have to weigh in at 42 oz. so those differences make a HUGE amount of ET/MPH in the 132' drag race.

I know you are doing good things out there and commend your hard work and efforts as well. You do have some great ideas that others aren't doing and 119 aint nothing to sneeze at bro and to back it up with a 115 MPH shows that it wasn't a fluke. Lemme know "IF" I can help with any R&D of any engine development. I have the second quickest unofficial ET pass from a Funny car running a 1.55 ET so if you've got a better engine that you think can run quicker, let me know.
