    On the subject of Cotton, I'll give a tip of the day. The factory Caprice cars typically had a 7.5 ring gear rearend like an S10, and police cars had a variant of the 8.5 ring gear rearend. I don't know if the wagons had the 8.5 because of the car weight, but that's not the subject of what I foresee as the next move.
    Cotton probably still has a 2.56 to 3.08 standard diff. That's easy. The trouble is that GM made a pinion gear that receives a pinion speed wheel, and a PSS that feeds the ABS.
    If the pinion speed sensor doesn't match a potential gear ratio change to possible 2.73 to 3.42, and the tone ring on the pinion isn't matched, and the ABS isn't disabled, the car will be a brake pedal applied scary ride thru a red light with no brakes because of ABS signal.
    On a similar subject, the diff carriers and gear sets are the same used ons10's or 8.5 full size rears if you eliminate the pinion speed sensor and disable the ABS by pulling it's fuse.
    I learned this the hard way by someone else's F'up, and it wasn't my car too. The car was a 93 Impala SS. To keep ABS, the ring and pinion set used to be available thru a GM dealer, and the exceptional folks at that time would have learned about the pinion tone ring to gear set match because the tone ring wasn't a part in the gearset that allowed for it to be installed. A GM or aftermarket gear set is not machined to allow for this quirk in standards.
    To sum it up, disable the ABS and put an aftermarket 31 or 35 spline 9 inch in it with whatever posi or locker that's desired. The money spent will override the money and headache to find someone in knowledge to find the parts for the specific gears that aren't covered in aftermarket. I can tell stories.

    That problem is old. Every honda that runs on the 8 and 7 suffers from the same problem. The parachute will lift up the rear end , making it really light.
    Solution.... a deployable 4 or 6 inches rear lip at the rear spoiler with a electric piston.
    Once you deploy the parachute, that lip will go straight up, giving enough down force to keep them on the ground .
    Porsche has a system called PAA.
    Same thing.

    • @user-hb3ix5wl6n
      @user-hb3ix5wl6n 28 днів тому +6

      We run special land speed chutes not drag chutes for these runs. The only reason the back end got upset was because the rear wing ripped off the car just after the 3/4 mark. It was fine at a similar speed in October but it just wasn't happy this time. That's the way it goes. We have already talked to the manufacturer and are working on a better design that will hold up to the speed and the downforce.

    I think the cnc bandsaw comment was from me. The context was yourbfirst video on cnc blocks where you were commenting about the recycling value of chips. The thought was if you order a larger block of aluminum you could increase the useful scrap vy sawing the material between the deck surface and corner and between the pan-rail and the edge of the block. Cnc bandsaw are relatively cheap but a horizontal mill and a slitting saw may be more precise. But I wouldn't change anything until you're 10 or more blocks into you're initial process.

    @thebarkingmouse 28 днів тому +5

    I know the loss of a wing was a big factor, but I think that the hard opening of the parachute is also an issue. I've seen it in many other drag cars.
    I used to skydive. I don't do it anymore, but something that occurs to me when I watched these drag shoots come out is that some sliders that would delay the opening of the parachute just slightly might be a really good idea. Right up with the parachute the kind that I used the purpose of the slider is just to slow the opening and delay the opening of the parachute just a little bit so that it can open in a more organized way and the opening is less violent because if you're going from 120 miles an hour to 20 miles an hour in under a second it gets violen
    That loss of control is almost certainly because the parachute opened hard and it lifted the rear of the vehicle causing, you know, you didn't have loss of control back there. And now you're hauling on the back of the car with a fair amount of force and it's just wagging the back end around. A slider would slow that down so that it's not such a violent event.

      If you re-watch it, it isn't locked. The drivers door is open. The problem is the keys are in the ignition and the back latch is closed. They need the key to manually open the back glass. Or, they can jump the battery to use the electronic hatch release.

    He has the rear hatch up in that SUV while sanding the wagon, lol. That Black SUV has to have 1/4 inch of dust inside of it by now.

    Steve, I watch a lot of milling videos and I see that too many machinists play it safe when it comes to IPM (Inches Per Minute) milling speeds etc., especially the
    older machinists! However, machinists in general are unwilling to increase machine speeds because they were told there are certain rules to follow. Todays new CNC machines and end mill tools can easily mill 1/4"+ of aluminum with each pass by increasing speeds of 500 IPM+. They could probably mill that excess material off those billet block decks of yours in a matter of minutes. They say that Harvi and KOR end mill tools are beasts for cutting anything. Your finished billet blocks are super nice! Any of your customers ever ask for anodized blocks and heads? Those would be cool!
