I am running at warehouse 3 in Arizona. I guess its considered a medium track but I have only ran at 4 tracks. Probably will end up with about he same ratio as him though.

I'm not sure if this means anything but it has no brakes. Like if you push forward on the trigger it makes a noise like if you are just barley using your brakes, that kind of whining noise. Sorta hard to explain lol

my schuur speed anything under about 32 degrees it gets hot. talked to ron schuur and he said keep the timing at or above 34 degrees. i have seen guys come off at 200 with your motor and they were very fast.trinitys run hot

Tested the car today, cleared everything I needed it too but still very sluggish. Maby I'm just used to running mod.

Did you test against other stock trucks? My cars always seem slow until I run with a few dudes then I usually realize I'm on pace, ran a d3.5 in stock touring car today and the car was wicked fast, temped at 155 and touring car is usually harder on the motors. I've never had one run over 160 and my cars are almost always faster then most (the driver usually sucks tho haha) and others I know have similar results. If people are temping at 200 with this motor then their way off on their gearing.
