What's New with BadShoe

Between earthquakes and Hurricanes I’m even further behind the “8” ball than I was before but I hope to start my new FMX video project by the end of November (better make it end of the year). Next year I have plans to do a Drag Race C4 buildup because of email feedback asking for it. I’m working on a build it yourself transbrake valve body if the prototype works out. I’d like to know if you guys are interested in that project. I might throw in a 9” end bearing racing 8.8” companion video as well. I hope to do a 4R70W but that’s a ways off. When the hurricane hit, I was in the middle of a short companion video on installing a Nitrous system to my 5.0L TBird project. It‘s now on youtube as a free 40 minute film or you can watch it here. I’ve also put the straight cut racing gear installation from the Powerglide bonus DVD as well as parts 11 to 13 from the 5.0L engine swap vol.1 (lots of camshaft info) on youtube now for free. See both of them below. I have raced the TBird used in the engine swap series for a few weeks this fall with some surprising results. After finishing swap volume two (two years ago), I ran the car turning a 14.57 at 97 mph. Since then I’ve raised the timing and shift points resulting in a 13.97 at 100 mph. Adding only a 75 shot of nitrous coming in a 2K rpm netted a 12.86 at 108 mph. Today the track was 1/8 mile only and I ran the nitrous with no rpm delay which lowered the 1/8 ET by .23 sec. so ¼ miles times might had been about 12.50 or so. All this with a heavy street car and stock torque converter. I now have some of my customers on facebook and plan doing some test for group video chats. I can use skype or facebook for one on one video chats but see that Google+ offers groups of ten (so far for free). Let me know if there’s an interest in one on one or group chats or even seminars on a subject. My digital downloads are slowly catching on. I’m working with Open Film http://www.openfilm.com/user/badshoe as my download partner and have all of my titles on there. You can click on a title channel which takes you to short clip from that title. The downloads are in one hour or less sections. The C6 repair DVD for example has 3 download sections. I'm offering single titles for $29.95 ($35.95 for the Powerglide title) paid to openfilm directly on their site. Therefore, the total is about the same or a little lower than the DVD version but of course there’s no shipping or waiting for the DVD’s to arrive. After the sale, please send me your email address so I can send you any password that might be attached and to send the PDF info file that’s included with each DVD title. The downloads may be in either the iPhone or a higher resolution MP4 format. Because this highly compressed format is used, download size’s are 350 to 700MB each so load times are manageable. I found that the iPhone version looks nearly the same as the higher resolution version when watched on a standard desktop or laptop screen. When playing on a computer, a Quick Time or compatible viewer is needed. Here’s a download link www.gofree.com for their free VLC player. If your interested in a digital download of any of my titles, send me an email, thanks...Ken. If you have questions about this project or other subjects related to my dvd titles, just send them to me badshoe@comcast.net.
