  1. Took my secondary alternator off last week, winter is apraching, so I'm running the stock belt with a single Mechman 270. The belt is only about six months old, and the tensioner is only one month old but the it is at the end of it's stroke and the belt tension isnt good.

    I'm guessing that the belt has stretched abnormally and the small size alternator pulley makes tension worse but if it hasen't then what can I do? Smaller belt?

    I know there's lots of guys with this engine and Mechman alternator, wondering if they've had this problem.

  2. I went to the casino and had 2 drunken dragons at the 9 dragons chinese restaurant..

    Now I am drinking Raging bitch from Flying dog

    I need to go to the US and get some beer...just the name of that sounds pretty intense.

    Its a Belgian IPA

    I've never seen if around here, even though we have lots of import.

  3. At topspeed the bugatti engine uses more air in 1 minute, than we breathe in 5days

    Top Fuel. Also fucka bugatti ;)

    * One dragster's 500-inch Hemi makes more horsepower then the first 8 rows at Daytona.

    * Under full throttle, a dragster engine consumes 1 1/2 gallons of nitro per second, the same rate of fuel consumption as a fully loaded 747 but with 4 times the energy volume.

    * The supercharger takes more power to drive than a stock hemi makes.

    * Even with nearly 3000 CFM of air being rammed in by the supercharger on overdrive, the fuel mixture is compressed into nearly-solid form before ignition. Cylinders run on the verge of hydraulic lock.

    * Dual magnetos apply 44 amps to each spark plug. This is the output of an arc welder in each cylinder.

    * At stoichiometric (exact) 1.7:1 air/fuel mixture (for nitro), the flame front of nitromethane measures 7050 degrees F.

    * Nitromethane burns yellow. The spectacular white flame seen above the stacks at night is raw burning hydrogen, dissociated from atmospheric water vapor by the searing exhaust gases.

    I think Top Fuel's are some of the most amazing machines on the planet. They also fucking shake the planet when they launch. So yeah, eat that Bugatti.
