• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Just curious if Any buddy has tried the summit racing PowerPlus lubricants fuel additives that have different fragrances??

Curious how they work and our modern-day four stroke With fuel injection?? image.jpg
 
Primarily used in drag race applications in engines running alcohol.
It works good as a top end lubricant to keep the valve guides from sticking during times of storage during the off season in Alcohol cars. It can also be run with race gas and will do the same thing with the same benefits.

My neighbor across the street runs it in both his Alcohol and his race gas powered Big Block Chevys. I run it myself in my 70' Challenger powered by a race gas fueled 572" Aluminum IndyMaxx Hemi, It runs in the mid 8s at 166mph.

The people on our street love it because when they open the doors to see why their windows are shaking it wafts into their houses from quite a ways away. I mean hundreds of ft. away. We use the "Jolly Rancher Candy" scented stuff in various flavors. It doesn't take much.
 
Here you go jimjim. Heres a few pics of it fresh out of paint before it was even letteredScan0003.jpgScan0005.jpgScan0006.jpg This was the car making it's first few passes to get my NHRA competition license and a pic with the 572" IndyMaxx Hemi Engine on the Dyno. 4.5 bore X 4.5 stroke, Dart heads, Small flange single plane intake with an adaptor and single 1250 Dominator=843 hp. 782 ftlbs torque. at 7000 rpm with a fairly mild .740"lift roller cam. 2 fours on an Indy tunnel ram and it picks up nearly 100 hp.
 
W O W !! Thanks for pics. What kind of ET's for it. So not to hijack, any fragrance in the fuel at the track?
 
Fragrance in it all the time. Car has ran as fast as 8.41 at 168+mph. at 2900 ft. elevation. The 60 ft. times are in the 1.16 to 1.19 range wide open. We run Super Comp here at a 9.16 index, corrected for altitude, at sea level conditions that class will run at an 8.90 index.

The car weighs 2640 lbs.wet, has fiberglass doors, hood, front fenders, front and rear valances, trunklid and bumpers, aluminum floors, Mild steel cage and chassis with Lexan windows. 488 gear ratio.

So the car has to be slowed down and run with a CO2 operated throttle stop with a delay box and digital controller to keep it from breaking out. Torqueflite transmission is CO2 shifted also.

Incremental times are like high 5.50s to low 5.60's in the first 660 ft. (1/8th mile) at 126 to 130 mph.

Should go 8.20s at sea level wide open, with no throttle stop. It is a necessary evil within the category though so it stays on the car.
 
The fragrance is for top end and valve guide lubrication for the most part. That's what it's really good for, it just happens to smell good too. I usually get the Jolly Rancher apple or grape stix scented ones.

I haven't bought any in years because I used to go in on a case of 12 bottles with my neighbor when he would get it.

Troy, I got other vehicles to put miles on, this one just "gets it" a Quarter mile at a time.
