    Yeah james your right, not sure if your weird or not, doesn't matter, I'd check my jackshaft also. They can do some weird things also.

    Got a chance to watch a little MotortrendTV.


    I saw a few episodes of RoadKill. They will start with a POS, add forced induction of some sort, and go for a road trip. WOW! Finally an American show that’s entertaining!

    What model/CFM on the Holley? If memory serves me right, years ago there was a group that raced straight six's and used 3-2bbls in their setup...

    Ended up squeezing him to 6.40 a mile. If it dips or I can't get enough hauled to turn the money I need to make for the day then I'll go back to the other place.

    I doubt that would go over very well. I do pretty well for the most part just sometimes things get backed up.

    Not sure on the CFM to be honest, it was a random pic I found. Thought it was interesting....

    Yes, this has been a constant source of frustration for me. Since the shaking began I have put on
    All new Shocks
    All new airbags
    Leveling valve
    U joints
    Small drive shaft
    4 new outside rims
    2 new tires
    New stub, Bearings, races, seals, hardware
    Centramatics all around

    I'm starting to wonder if the hub itself is screwed up or the inside rim is messed up. They are the only two things not replaced on that side. What is odd is it hops at low speed. Like 5mph through a parking lot. Then disappears until about 60ish mph....then it's back in force. When I get home I'm going to put it on jack stands and put it in gear and get out and look at it. So I can see first hand what it's doing.

    Look im not guessing. Try what I'm saying. Get a business card. Try to slide it between the hub tangs and rim. Ill bet some are loose, and some are tight. Rims aint square with hub. Then it will be China casing tires, what you check with runout gauge. If neither of that helps, I'll buy you a 12 pack.

    Its a problem that no one ever had with stud pilot wheels. These shops are jerking you off. I'm going simple 101. I dont know much, I just know alittle.
