Team Peterson Update!

2009-09-04T14:07:00.002-06:00

We received the following message from Team Peterson member Chris Andrews. Congrats Chris!!!

Saturday we headed to Attica Raceway Park where we headed into the final night of the points series trailing Byron Reed by 25 points for the Championship. We won the heat race in amazing style passing Chad Kemenah with a wicked slide job on the last corner.
For the A-Main I started 10th and Byron sarted 9th. With a little luck on my side I would have needed to finish 7 spots ahead of Reed to take the Championship. On lap 7 of the A-Main, Reed tangled with a competitor which engaged him in a multi car wreck which sent him the the tail (20th position). At the time I was running 6th and and was then able to bring a 4th place finish home to win the Championship by 11 points!!

Chalk up a Championship for Team Peterson!!

R4 Update!

2009-08-26T07:48:00.003-06:00

The second round of track testing has gone fantastic and even exceeded our expectations.

Congratulations to Vic Hill for winning the first race with the R4 pump on Aug 15th at Tazewell Speedway. Vic has also been doing dyno testing for us and has reported a 22hp gain over our old pump and the competition. In addition, it has posted better vacuum numbers and less fall off at sustained RPM.

Team Peterson member Billy Moyer won the MSRA event at Beebe Speedway and the MLRA event at Lucas Oil Speedway while running the new R4 pump. Oil pressure at both races was reported to be a rock steady 80 psi during the race and 40 psi at idle after the race with 240º oil temps!

Soon we will begin testing the drag version of the R4 and will have a full report.

R4 Update!

2009-08-13T07:44:00.003-06:00

Our initial testing on the new R4 pump has been completed and all I can say is wow! It has exceeded our initial goals in both pressure stability and vacuum numbers. We have begun some real world testing at tracks across the country and also had great results. Some minor tweaking is taking place and our third round of testing should be starting any day. Stay tuned for more development news.

Stay tuned for updates on our new evolutionary oil pumps that will debut at the 2009 PRI show. We will be releasing new photos, stats, and information in the coming weeks along with some other exciting announcements.

Congratulations to Jimmy Owens

Tech Tip # 1 - How tight do I need my pump drive belt?

2009-03-25T09:14:00.001-06:00

Unlike v-belts or serpentine style belts, toothed belts like HTD and Gilmer do not need to be overly tight. The teeth on the belt are doing the work instead of friction. A good rule of thumb is that you should be able to turn the belt 90º and see the teeth on the belt in the center of the belt between pulleys. Do not be alarmed if it appears that belt seems to be bouncing or flapping while the engine is running. If you over tighten these style belts they can walk off the pulley or cause premature wear to your pulleys.

Congratulations
