.....Anyone know how it ran?
NOT WORTH A CRAP...lol, and I REALLY can't understand why!.....

We got it running nearly an hour before practice ended on Wednesday evening, Garrett, (GT Performance), had built a new chassis around the engine, which he finished on Saturday before leaving for the track, we hand cut the base gasket at the track, and had the head o-rings shipped in, (they got there Tuesday about the same time we did...I actually let the UPS Truck pass me on Jeff's driveway so I could follow him in, then Mark took'em.....lol).
We "dry-fitted" the engine together at the track, (now that I think about it....I never did take a squish reading on that thing....lol).
We got the one pass on Wednesday, (a low 4.2 I think), we got a pass to set the bracket and I think we went 2 rounds on limited day , so that would be 4 passes before we started putting all the NOS stuff onto it for Saturday. The best we got out of it on Thursday was a low 4.1.....and never did get the NOS to put fuel AND spray at the same time in the correct amounts on Saturday....lol
The engine is the right 1/2 of a Caracal twin that I machined the left side away on the cases, (....VERY hard to make myself start machining away that whole side of the case....lol). The cylinder is one of the new Liger cylinders, we used a 97mm bore piston and a 76mm stroke, it has a 144mm rod and uses about the same thickness of spacerplate that we will use on the CR500 Liger setup. We put a "pretty big" .046 jet in the thing on Saturday to see if it would handle it without breaking anything, and if we would have had a bigger fuel pump it "may" have worked past 2nd gear.......BUT, Chris did say it hit hard for the first few feet....lol
Garrett took it back to his shop to finish it and see if we can do a little dyno work before we take it out next month. We do have the 102.5mm pistons in now, and I got the 76mm stroke crank with the big rod on it.....I guess now I need to run another cylinder to go a little bigger.........DARN 4-strokes!!.....3.55!......
