Trainman is considering converting to E85, has any one had any dyno results on an NA engine, no power adders.? I will then use C85 at the strip.
[QUOJust give it a little shot of giggle gas....
Just so all of you know I haven't forgotten about my Viper buddies. The truck is in the shop, leaking power steering line, plus the CTSV engine build, restoring a 73 SD-455 Formula, 1 of 43, very rare, also finishing up a 2000 SLP Firehawk 430 inch LS1 with Mast 295 heads, and a Harrop Hurricaine intake, plus I'm looking for a 69 Road Runner to relive my early years...oh and I have a 64 GTO to restore......along with my 1st hobby of collecting toy trains (thus Trainman) since I got out of the Navy in 1968....over 1500 pieces and growing...so pretty busy in my retirement. Plus helping my daughter to learn how to race her 2019 Hellcat 6-speed Challenger I surprised her with on her birthday in August 2019, she was 45......and her first pass in her life she went 11.98!
Is that all you have, LOL! Sounds like a full time hobby. And from one sailor to another, thank you for your service. 81 - 85, HS-7 Dusty Dogs.Just so all of you know I haven't forgotten about my Viper buddies.

Good to hear from you, I was on the USS Ranger CVA-61, carrier. 1966-1968, Radarman 3rd class, Navy reserve. HO trains not quite as collectable as Lionel and America Flyer toy trains. A lot of mine are from the 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's and 60's. If you have Brass engines they can be expensive. all are enjoyable, Most HO is more realistic than the toy trains, but I enjoy them all.Is that all you have, LOL! Sounds like a full time hobby.

I also have an HO train collection, some as old as 1965, just not as much as you. Is there a collector's value to these? Last engine I bought was probably mid 1970's. Still have all the track, buildings, cars, power packs etc. Just no place to set it up these days.
My squadron was attached to the JFK, CV67, and I was an AMS3 when I got out. Kinda wish I'd have done 20, but hindsight is 20/20. As for the trains, you've got some money sitting there.Good to hear from you, I was on the USS Ranger CVA-61, carrier. 1966-1968, Radarman 3rd class, Navy reserve.

EnjoyWhen it comes to the shifting - you are the MAN!!!
