Blownyel93 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Posted January 15, 2014 Someone was fast cause I pm'd 15 minutes after posted and it was sold already. Dang $200 I would have definitely bought it. Quote
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Posted January 15, 2014 O-rings blown, studs pulled out and helicoiled Yep Trinity Detonation as usual. $200 is pretty steep to pay for aluminum scrap metal. Quote
Blownyel93 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Posted January 15, 2014 Well anyone with some other cylinders like this let me know. Stripped holes or heli coils. Quote
thats1banshee Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Posted January 15, 2014 Even at 200 you getting a hell of a deal. Head domes pistons are all good. Arp studs are brand new. Quote
n2otoofast4u Posted January 15, 2014 Report Posted January 15, 2014 Whoa..... Who the fuck buys this kind of junk? Quote
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Posted January 15, 2014 It's a 4 mill cheetah........it was junk when new. That's why it blew itself to hell and gone. LOL Now somebody got all mad scientist machinist on the thing trying to put humpty dumpty back together again. Quote
SOUTHTHIRTY Posted January 15, 2014 Report Posted January 15, 2014 Weld up and retap ..good as new ...any machine shop can do it Quote
thats1banshee Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Posted January 15, 2014 So are all cheetahs supposedly "garbage" or just the 4mil? Quote
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Posted January 15, 2014 4 mills are junk new. Trinity sells them and they are set up to destroy themselves. 465 cub makes more power than a 485 cheetah with same torque for WAY LESS money. Some people have strong running 10 mill (535) cheetahs. But from what I have seen the HP/CC ratios are still lower than cubs. ANY cheetah kit requires serious mods from a knowledgeable builder to be worth a shit. Quote
SOUTHTHIRTY Posted January 15, 2014 Report Posted January 15, 2014 We got a PPS 10 mill cheetah here in st.louis ..that runs in the 3.80,s .(300') all the time...and its just in a light,end stock frame...200lb jockey /own.. ... Could go faster in a chassis... Quote
thats1banshee Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Posted January 15, 2014 Im building a 10mil 72 bore right now. Quote
banshee760 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Posted January 15, 2014 Man that was a good dea wish i could have made go it.... one mans junk can be gold for others specially if you can make em work Quote
SOUTHTHIRTY Posted January 15, 2014 Report Posted January 15, 2014 Send em to PPS ..ask for Arty Gordan or Joe Hamm ..if u want to go fast ... 1 Quote
