J-Madd Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 I still run gas domes in my alky 421, have alky domes for my yet to be assembled 10 mil Cub. Quote
lowbuckracing Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 Kev at hjr has a nice cut for them...Whats u need ? Quote
dajogejr Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 I have Dan Wade @ Patriot cut my domes....for alky. I just bought 5 sets for my bike and a couple buddies bikes/builds. Quote
bansee fever Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 OK it might be a dumb question! whats the difference? different compression , sqishband,? just wondering I am running alky with the same domes i ran gas with and my builder " a very reputable one" says they are fine! do you notice a big power gain with them?......thanks Quote
dajogejr Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 You can tailor power characteristics to a certain extent with dome shape and size, generally speaking. Methanol and gas have two different explosion characteristics, they also burn at different rates and temps. Quote
sheefreak Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 A good example of what Dave is explaining is an extremely talented builder will cut a dome different for a 300ft setup compared to a 1/8 mile setup and it will make a big difference. The gas dome will work, and motor may run well, but not as well as it could.... Quote
