    Oversize motor for boat

    I bought a 12 ft aluminum boat and put a 20 horsepower outboard motor on it, although the boat states that the maximum size of the motor should be 15 horsepower, is a ranger or whoever going to hassle me for that? The boat handles great with the 20 horsepower, I actually wish I had bought the 25...

    Driving tips- ls1/s4

    I went to Glamis for a few days, and transitioning across the edge of a dune running very parallel at the top and at speed, works really really well. I was going over at not enough angle because my experience with a side-by-side was kind of Tippy trying to go over the edge parallel to the top...

    Driving tips- ls1/s4

    Thank you everybody , I'm excited to try cresting the top with less angle and more speed. I really appreciate the advice, your advice is actually the same as I've been riding a motorcycle all these years but I assumed that a big rail would need to be ridden differently. Also- It seems like...

    Driving tips- ls1/s4

    The S4 is freshly rebuilt but I didn't ask for any changes so I assume it has the old shift mechanism. It's good to know that there probably is not something broken in there however

    Driving tips- ls1/s4

    I look forward to trying this, and yeah I am hitting the top at about a 45° angle and it will be fun to try it more parallel to the top. Thank you very much for the input

    Driving tips- ls1/s4

    First off, thank you so much for all the help this forum has already given me. A little background, I have been riding in the dunes on a bike with a paddle tire for the last 5 decades, got hurt pretty bad, and so I switched to something with a roll cage. The car is a 06 Tatum that I shortened...

    Paddle tire size

    The Whipple is a 4.0L 245 ax, 14lbs of boost, 901 rw hp. At 6200 rpm. That was the best pull on cbm's dyno

    Paddle tire size

    I should know what size Whipple that is, but I don't. And I am not at home where the file is, I am in Glamis. The motor dynoed at 800 horsepower and it is an LS1 stroked to a 383. I really like the car, it took me a couple years to put it together. I cut two feet out of the chassis and...

    Paddle tire size

    okay, so I'm planning to get 36 inch sandblasters that you've recommended and put them on a 17 inch diameter rim. the specs on the tire says they can be put on a 12-in wide or 14-in wide rim. I would like the widest profile as possible. Do you know anyone that sells a 14-in wide Douglas rim...
