Re: Knuckles 4V F2M Race car

ok so i took the tiny MT/ET Fronts of the whip looks better with some 26s i had the shit radials. Im picking up some 26 ET fronts next week, unfortunately no pics today. I am however starting 25.5 spec caging my car in two weeks which is a biaaatch but whatever i guess i always wanted to ride in a fucking funny car cage around my ass. Ill be cert to 7.50 which is good.

Man that looks sweet

so i guess i keep forgetting i own this car cause i dont update shit. car is gonna be sent out this week to get the cage work done, i genuinely have no clue how long its gonna take so ill try and get pics as shes getting put together. Id really like to get her running but Steve wants to put a roll bar mounted switch box and the wiring needs to go threw the cage so f it. Other than that not a whole lot going on with the whip =/

Love
Knuckles

cars junk, whos doing the cage and when they did Ronnies DR car they cut the roof off at Tim Matherly's place, did the cage, and welded that sucker back on like woah

knuckles- can I ask why you chose the F2M? I always heard it was hard to spin. I would love to have a F2M- it's so huge!

Musturd · Aug 14, 2011

Cus it's big and bad ass I've only ever seen one on a 572

Knuckles@Empire · Aug 14, 2011

oh i know its junk you want it? you can have two black piles =D
as for why the f2m originally i was going turbo i had a hellion 76mm kit i was going to run, but blownstang01 hooked me up hardcore with his setup and yeh it does take a few more hp to spin the f2 for sure but the hp potential is higher and to be honest i didnt build the car to have 7-800 hp. It should make 1k+ and a low 8 possibly into some 7s action on test and tune nights were i run the bottle.

encasedmetal · Aug 14, 2011

sweet-what's the base n/a hp required to turn it? I did not see any specs on procharger's website. I think you'll make 1000 easily

encasedmetal · Aug 14, 2011

if I thought I could use that blower and make 1k rwhp on pump I would use it, but wouldn't happen so I guess I'll stick with the F1a

Knuckles@Empire · Aug 15, 2011

yeh my car will never see pump gas c16 nothing less for it. to be completely honest i dont remeber i did some research on ti a while back and although somewhat substantial the loss doesnt outweigh the gain by any means. the engine i have is a stout n/a motor if i were to use it as is with almost 11.1 comp its gapped a litle wide for foced induction. as for hp im less concerned with that number than im concerned about my e.t thats all that matters to me. were prolly going to run the 33 psi pulleys on it and then wastegate it and electronically control boost since i want to run some local classes that have e.t limits. if i decide to run a drag radial psca has some nice classes.

Knuckles@Empire · Aug 31, 2011

SOOOO i should have the car back early next week along with pics of the caging process which should be sexy, after that wiring time!!!!

if that diffy is empty right now, i suggest taking out the drain plug and putting thread sealer on it... my FRPP girdle has leaked since day #1. (BNIB when i bought it) had to just gob silicone over it until it was time for the fluid change...

also, is that weldon pump one of those 100% metal pumps? Heard they are good to 2500 HP, plus you can run any gas you want through it without it ever having a problem. if it is, let me know how that goes... i'd like to see one on my ride one day... ;-)

also.... at least stick a sock in that intake tube, would ya? lol.

Knuckles@Empire · Sep 3, 2011

The diff is getting pulled apart one more time to swap my gears out so ill keep that in mind thanks. As for the pump ill definetely be posting how it goes although i wont be anywere near maxing mine out i should be in good shape. also what do you mean by a sock in my intake? if you mean so nothing gets in there like dirt or w.e it gets covered every time im done taking any pics of it. So for an update on the cage i have to go get fitted for it which is kinda neat. Pics inc this week stay tuned!

MustangChris · Sep 3, 2011

yea, that pump should be good for quite a while. lol.

and im glad i could lend a hand on your build... thread seal FTW. (i avoid using tephlon tape, myself)

and, yes. i meant your intake pipe. if you seal it, thats all i wanted.

Knuckles@Empire · Sep 25, 2011

got my car back tonight from getting the cage installed and it looks amazing, it was night when i got it in so i wasnt able to take any good pics. Ill be posting some tomm. Till then a teaser.
