Lonnies silver notchback had a blow-thru twin turbo setup built and tuned by him that was probaly capable of 10s. I think I remember him saying he...
Yeah I know a little bit about turbos. I built a custom twin kit for my Mustang. I wonder how a 408 would run with a lower compression ratio such...
Its likely because most cars that you see with a blower/turbo COME with fuel injection. Dont get me wrong, tuning a blow thru car in not...
Good info, but I think you got that last part backwards...wet torque specs are always lower than dry in my experience :) Due to the added friction...
The cool thing about ARP studs is that they have allen wrench holes in the tops so you can screw them in and out like bolts. I will likely run...
Another question, are you running a solid roller to spin those RPMs? I had no idea the stock Edelbrock springs were good for those kind of revs!
Well, hypers would have saved me money, but I was actually leaning towards them because I thought they would offer better wear, and a quieter...
I was just going to reuse my stock bolts. Do you think that would be okay just until I can get some better ones? :D Seriously, I am not going to...
I would highly recommend it, but go blow-thru. Tuning them is only hard if you dont know what you are doing, just like EFI. Talk to lonnie...
Bossmav, thanks for the advice. I have decided to build a 408 stroker, using twisted wedge heads, victor jr intake(or maybe an rpm air gap...), a...
Oops, I got mixed up...Comet, you run a 347, not a 351, doh! I was hoping for pics of a 351 with the hookers on it.
Your towers dont look cut in that pic. Is that your 408? I would much prefer building the 351 so even 500-600hp would be possible down the road....
1 3/4 primary headers fit in your stock suspension car? Sweet! I thought I was limited to 1 5/8 headers. Do you have any pics? I do plan on doing...
Where do you shift? How high have you ever spun it? I am leaning towards a cast crank again. I have been doing alot of reading and it seems cast...
A dead alternator/battery?
I think I am just going to go for the forged kit. Ill feel better about it when the block breaks and wipes out the whole (forged)bottom end LOL :D
I want to keep the entire engine build around $4000, and the sportsman block would eat up a large chunk of that. I want a reliable 500hp possible...
Of course this kit is internally balanced which I suppose means a zero balacne flywheel is needed...
Thanks. Check this kit out. Seems pretty nice. 100% feedback too.
Good tip. I think the kit I am looking at is a 28oz imbalance. Are the newer motors 50oz or 28? I cant remember...
