What do you think is the shelf life for Novus 2 ? How about DD4H oil ? Also, I read about polishing area's of contact (inner wheel hubs , inner wheel rim on DFW ) is this done with Novus , Legend , or both ...

Will do, Thanks .

Street Stock . I will be my first entry for the NPWDRL .

Ok guys I'm getting ready to put the tungsten cubes in . I assume I want to get weight as evenly distributed as possible on the rear wheels . I have one scale . If I place one wheel on the scale and the other on a block of wood and go back and forth will this get me close or do I need another...

This dude is cracked . I have tried just about every axle and wheel out there over the last 5 Years only to find out you got to know what to do with it . And then there's that other thing --tuning -- probably most important . Two years ago I inspected our District race and seen what I thought...

Thanks again, Time to head to the basement and play.

OK Thanks , I would assume the one for the DFW should be attached to the body to prevent any chance that it could rotate with the wheel ?

Ok guys, I started buy loading up on supplies last year then life got in the way . I'm currently working on some SS body's for my first attempt to run with the Big Dogs . My question is, is it necessary to run the Teflon washer's on the rear of the car since the wheels are riding out on the axle...

I have ordered some from DD4H . I will also try the drill press . Sometimes it fun to screw around and do things myself . It usually ends in disaster, but it's still fun . Thanks for the info guys.

What is the best way to cut a relief in the axle . I have put the axle in a dremel and used a file. I have had the file jump the groove and gouge the axle were the wheel rides resulting in a wrecked axle. It seems there were really hard spots in the axle that I could not cut through. This has...

I have not done much league racing as I spend a lot of time doing Scout workshops. I do this because after buying a Block a couple years ago I seen the tremendous speed gains to my sons cars and what a time saver it is. I also spend a lot of time trying to get the smaller Packs and those less...

I never would have thought about tuning my track ! Now I got another reason to hang out in the basement today . Great info Thanks.

Yea that makes sense as I have got better times out of certain cars by staging them different . So many variables, so little time. Thanks for the reply.

I have a 22ft Best Track set up for tuning. It's all I have room for. I have not raced that much and have a lot to learn about tuning. My fastest times for street stock is around the 2.11's which equates to 2.95's on a 42ft Best Track. Every once in a while in the middle tuning I hit a 2.92 and...
