Three questions

[bmxdave]

First off, what revs are safe on a 2.1 pinto? As far as i know the bottom end is standard, and with a short burst ive had 7000rpm, but i dont want to take any chances.

 

Second, can you buy alleycats and 7" rs 4 spokes from anywhere but mdlands wheels? As far as i know its only them who makes them.

 

Oh, and can you buy them in pairs instead of 4?

 

Cheers

Rev it until it blows

 

I think Twinkle has a set of Allycats for sale (unsure of size)

 

And his are a set of 4

[Twinkle]

i do have a set of 7j alleycats but they may be going on my new car if i cant get the lotus steels

I read last night that apparently they're good for 7200 but obviously not constantly

here we reved a pinto till 9000rpm with all std bottom end and never broked for 4 years using it for street use and 1/4 mile too and had a RC1 kent cam and a pair of 40dcoe'c

[boXXer]

9000 on 40's? That's a lot!! It must have been out of puff at 7k wasn't it? What were you doing at 9?

it still had some puf in it m8 cause the timing was retarded so it cold rev better and it normal passes in a 1/4 mile with a street legal body but on 22inch slicks was 12.9sec @ 106mph and 60ft 1.775secs

Very good Burns

 

So Dragaddict was that 9k in the hole then?

 

 

I assume you're talking about the cam being retarded not the ignition? (or the driver )

 

Sounds amazing, but the proofs in the pudding!!

[dragaddict]

we nothing special but the RC1 cam doesn't need big stuf and the 40's work very well with it.

for the retard i'll ask my brother

[bmxdave]

Ah, so ill keep it to about 7k then. It didnt seem to die off at all but better be safe then sorry.

 

Im after 6" alleycats anyway for the fronts.
