225 long rod stroker, HELP
65PlumCRZY just cut the deck or mill the head or both, as custom length pushrods don't cost that much and go have fun. Compression is where it is at.
whitepunkonnitro I am just a tinkerer from org. but when you are not working on that Top Fuel team , race a slant 6 event and teach us something.
Wait, that would require you to show us your 17 second or slower slant 6 that is really perked up.
First off. I don't work on any Top Fuel teams. My background with fuel cars is as a builder and tuner. One of the key aspects of that is bottom end geometry..cause and effect.
I wrote a series of articles in SSDI in the middle 90s on basic nitro tuning that formed a big part of the foundation for what became the norm in Nostalgia T/F
I also raced Stock Eliminator cars for a bit, and at one point ran a full half second under the IHRA I/Pure Stock record in completely legal trim.
Don't take my word for any of this..Google is your friend.
My own Slant car? Parked this year while I focus on my new shop. No time slips to show, but there have been vids posted on here that show clearly that she's a bit more potent than a 17 second car.
BTW, my car is on the ground, ready to run, and my total investment in the entire thing is less than zero dollars..I actually turned a profit of around $800 building it.
So, Mr. .org Tinkerer..back to the original topic.
Give me one single example of where any Slant, any where gained ANY performance improvement, ANY drivability or benefitted in ANY tangible way by going with a longer ******* connecting rod.
I'm betting you can't...why? Because it's physically impossible.
Prove me wrong
