    Indy does it again?

    Meh, just do B-1's from Koffel. More power, less nonsense. S/F....Ken M

    Dana 60 strength?

    Turbos work better when they have a lower gearset to "load" the turbo. S/F....Ken M

    Big Block power with better heads???

    For something like this, keeping costs down got BTFO long ago. Yeah, there's a bunch, a whole bunch of racers shoe stringing some pretty fast crap down the strip, but that's not what any manufacturer designs and builds parts for. If you're trying to save money and go fast, buy used Fuel or...

    Big Block power with better heads???

    What's the purpose? I'm assuming this is for fairly unlimited 275, 10.5 etc 'street' type classes? If NA, design something to make use of the Hemi 99 prostock heads, something that can take big inches on a 4.900 bore spacing. For boosted motors, the Gen 2 hemis are already the best thing...

    Do you agree with this Hot Rod magazine online article quote?

    I work in a machine shop, we sleeve blocks all the time. Sometimes all holes. The sleeve material is stronger than the block material, harder too. Nitrous and boosted motors keep race engine shops in business, lol. Aluminum blocks, iron blocks, CGI blocks; there's a lot of work dumped into...

    Build me a 800hp NA 512 b block using pump gas

    B1 Originals, EFI w/crank trigger and meth/water injection and you may be able to get away with pump fuel. Unless you plan on doing a lot of driving, I wouldn't bother and just build something to use 110oct leaded or 100oct unleaded and not worry about marginal batches of gas at the pump. I...

    8 1/4 vs. 8 3/4

    I think you'd be correct. If you're serious on radials, just go fab'd 9", and skip all the wasted money and blown up stuff. For street use, I'd just drive what you have and try not to hoon too much while I saved for the 9". S/F....Ken M

    12.5 to 1 What octane do you run!!!

    100LL is good stuff; if you need more detonation resistance, add a little MMT, watch plugs carefully, it goes brick red when you have too much. Torco Accelerator is a good source of MMT; read the MSDS, a little goes a long way. The Amsoil octane boost has MMT also, not sure how much, again...

    MILODON OR BARTON PUMP On The Street

    Lots of oil getting bypassed with that much pump. It gets hot. Unless you have internal clearances that let small animals in...lol. S/F....Ken M

    Race-gas

    That's cool, I was just guessing based on past engines. I usually look for vacuum reading at WOT to see if it wants more carb; on a street driven vehicle, sounds like you're doing good. The concept for the fuel for the road makes a lot of sense. S/F....Ken M

    Race-gas

    Try 100 L/L av gas, if that still isn't enough, add a little MMT with Lucas, Amsoil octane boosters or Torco Accelerator and read plugs closely, they'll get brick red if you add too much. 500 cubes with an 825cfm carb seems awful small. S/F....Ken M
