ThrillerI spoke with **** Gumbert on sunday. He was still pretty groggy at the time. He is waiting to hear from his insurance carrier to transfer him to a rehab hospital.

ChuckTThanks for the update, Mike. I was wondering how he was doing. Is he still in AGH, in the room listed on the PRP site?

jeffrey10x2i just bought this cell and it was suppose to be a 5 gal cell.
ended up being an 8 gal rci drag cell.
measures aprox 17x17x8
has what looks like an an8 vent fitting and in the sump it has 1 an8 and 1 an10 fitting.
no foam in the cell.
asking $85 for the cell.

Ed GalandaJeff the car looks real nice

Anyone know with a rotating assembly for blower motor I am building. My current piston is 30g lighter than what was previously used with crank. Rods are near identical weight. Crank was used. Looking at spinning this motor to 7k and making 650-700hp at wheels. Would you want to balance this assembly to complete zero or keep crank slightly over balanced? It's internal balance setup to begin with. Looking for input before taking to shop.

MattCadamoreive been hearing more and more that balancing a motor is not such a big deal anymore. dont get me wrong...i still have my stuff balanced...but i would get a few opinions first...esp being its blown

ChuckTCar looks awesome Jeff.
Ed, just my 2 cents, regardless of the induction type, if you're spinning it that high, I'd get it balanced. Put a post over in Tech and see what you get. Nice new sig btw. Bet Keith is happy to see that.

Balaska347I love the car Jeff!
Ed, I could be wrong but I always thought that over balance (to an extent) is just as good as zero balance. I would never not balance an engine of mine just because of the harmonics. Mine is 0 balance and my dads is not balanced and we cant believe the difference. He didnt realize how much his vibrated until he drove mine. He refered to mine as an electric motor because how smooth it is.
