The Official Hot Rod Thread - Part 2: No Replacement For Displacement

[femurphy77]

So I couldn’t answer this until this morning. It’s not any louder but the sound is completely different. Like.... I got slightly aroused at how ****ing awesome it sounds. I mean this thing is gutless. It can’t make 150hp at the flywheel. But it sounds like it’s going to eat everything in sight. It’s probably not as bad as your biscuit because the passenger compartment doesn’t stretch out over it. That extra air space conducts a lot of sound.

Flowmasters?

I've always run a 3" system, X-piped with Flowmaster's turned down in front of the rear axle.

Pure.

Sex.

Nothing like a little bit of last minute thrashing hacking up the trans tunnel to get rid of some driveline vibration. Head out in a few hours. Meet up with my co pilot in Indy tonight and head to Kentucky in the morning!

Yeah I thought about that after I asked the question.

So Sunday is our state fairgrounds event. Anyone in the area should stop by. Truck should have 3 drivers so there’s a good chance it’ll be on course all day.

[bobzilla]

Should have let me know y’all were down. I’d have swung over to mug and bun in the truck!

Are they charging admission into the fairgrounds for this?

If there’s anything else going on, then yes. If it’s just us or you’re there early enough no.

I live 10 minutes from the Mug and Bun and I could not get over there when Rusty text he had made it. I had a sad.

I woulda went just for a rootbeer float...ok and a tenderloin. Checking out his ride would have been a bonus

 

[ChristianPatriot]

I too could not make it. All around fail.

Crazy thing........the 11 year old and I were out yesterday doing the food shopping. We stopped at the famouse tomato just east of the Mug for fresh fruit. When we rolled west we saw the Mug and the truck just pulled in by itself...
A super, fries and a Mug of R-beer for me. That was just a few hours earlier than Rusty text me to say he was there. Life had me doing medical things for the spouse so I had to pass.

I enjoy an occasional trip Mug &Bun, I'd go a little more often but I have to drive across the city to get it. The wife doesn't like to sit outside and eat (she freaks out over bees) and she doesn't like to eat in the car. So it can be a challenge to convince her to go. But its always a good excuse to spend a little time with my brother as its one of his favorite places

All this talk about the Mug and Bun makes me think that we may have our lunch destination after swinging by the fair grounds to scope out the auto x.

Actually made some forward movement on the racecar today so life is good.

Had a little convo with the mouse the other day. Block will get clearanced by the machine shop and the pistons will get pushed onto the rods. Once that’s done we can knock it into a long block pretty quick.

So you still think all this is done with a hammer........
