700hp 493 build specs thoughts
Thats too bad because he gave up quite a bit believing pump gas CR doesnt matter and the chart that shows a 1-2% gain from raising the CR from say 10:1 to 11:1 which isn’t true.
You can make good hp at low CR though, go big is one way, as an example>
An engine my other mate bought for his street/strip RR
589ci, 10:1,
CP between 185>190psi, 365CNC -13's, small s/roller, 260/
[email protected], .625/.625" on 110
440-2, 950HPDP. 695hp@5500-5900.
But I will say that if it was 12.5:1 with a healthy 750+"
[email protected] roller
it would be around the 800hp mark, wouldn't work for street though too good.
And of course AndyF's 10.5:1 470 but that did have some expensive trick parts and wouldn't be too street able either pump or not.
And that is the scenario we have with this build, keeping it relatively street friendly which is why he should've gone for more stroke.
