Oh OK, I'll sit here and applaude his grubby behaviour.....and won't say "boo"....Yea right....

What, and do a Mods job for them, at my expense? My issue is with allowing members to use Sigs to bad mouth people. Why? Because the only way you can deal with it is to either pollute a thread, or complain to the admin. This is ALL down to letting that Crackhead behave like a...

I guess this gest tp the point - A-Bomb seems to think that losses through accesories to achieve an SAE rating is only around 5% 2Darts and DGC seem to think its closer to 16% ? (Correct me if I'm reading anyone wrong - I'd hate to attract another "stalker" ! LOL!)

Glad you feel safe with a crowd behind you to have a laugh - do you rent them by the hour?

It's your obsession pal, not mine! Proof = Apologies to the other forum members - but Ive attracted a stalker and he seems to think his actions are those of someone with character and integrity - I was happy to play by the rules - but suddenly no-one cared about the rules anymore - so...

I kind of get where DGC is coming from - so I'll ask a question..... Are the "gross to SAE " losses of 16% reasonable?

Must be nice to have a such a high opinion of your own opinion!!

There's enough in Crackhead's signature for a psychiatrists seminar......

Don't worry about it Redfish - he can't help it - its called "Obsessional/delusional" behaviour.

S'OK, I can see how it read that way - I've changed the post so it makes it more clear........

Can't agree with that mate - I had my factory as cast 596s with a 1.88 valve, they flowed to 202 cfm @ .500 @ 28" Porting with a 1.96 took them to 231 @ .550 A 2.02 then took them to 243 @ .550 The porting wasn't a high dollar exercise , basically just paid for X # of hours. - I...

Completely agree with A-Bomb on this one. I know two things for a fact - 1/ - Ford use 18% drivetrain losses for their new cars fitted with factory built modular V8 OHC engines. A Ford production engineeer told me this. 2/ - A well known builder down here uses a rule of thumb of 120 HP...

I saw that too - Good article (pity Mopar Muscle don't do the same) I couldn't believe how strong the AG was even with the big cam against the tested SP intakes.

I'd swear there was a thread on FABO a few weeks back, where a guy posted a pic of a mismatched intake gasket and Eddie air gap intake ports - Just can't remember which thread - it was just before the BJR holocaust.....

errrrr........MD - I meant the part # for the SIlvolite was already posted - thats why I put the quote from my own post up there. wasn't having a dig at the rest of you post, OK? Must be something about American winters!! LOL!!

Does this mean snowballs at 15 paces?:wav:

I alread posted the # for the Silvolite MD (see above) There used to be a Sterling (LC371P) as well with the same Comp height, but its been deleted. As you said - the 1278CP is considered a low comp truck/marine piston. There is a Badger available as well, cast and p# 287.

My old 349 build - Cast 360 crank cut down in the journals. 360 shot peened rods The guy that built mine used hi comp TRW forged slugs cut down 100th. Comp was good, P-V clearance was pretty bad. :( Doing it again on the cheap, Id use the silvolite 1278CP and fly cut them. I ran...

I have 596 casstings - ported , 2.02 nailhead backcut valve, without going crazy - they flow: : 300/170 350/195 400/219 450/231 500/240 .550/243

OK and thanks OU, thats handy to know. The change in ouput due to the open pipes not being the correct length is valuable tech!

Here ya go........ http://chucker54.stores.yahoo.net/timchainten.html

OU812 - Can you (or anyone else) explain why it will make power to 6500 in the car, but not on the engine dyno?

Good thought - you DO know something !! ;)

OU812 - Can you explain why it will make power to 6500 in the car, but not on the engine dyno?

Try this for a THOUGHT........:thebirdm: Hahahaha!!! ;) But seriously - work with me on this and tell me where Im wrong...... As a GENERALISATION (lets assume factory builds to keep this simple) , .......a 360 will generate greater rotational force though the crank than a 318, simply...

You guys have Boobs over there? geeez....thats progressive........

Just a suggestion - its a pretty radical one but it MAY be a good short term fix... If you blow compressed air through your carb line back toward the fuel tank, AND if the problem is the fuel sock - it will blow the sock off the end of the sender if its blocked, I only suggest this...

Thats was going to be my next question - seems there's a few votes in favour...... R/Charger - RE gear drives - any issues with harmonics effecting valve spring life?

Well...going on the D2000 data - it seems to think a 1000cfm carb and an extra 10 cfm flow at .600 lift would make close to 550 HP, so maybe thats the first "next step" ? Food for thought!!

Brian - perhaps my Australian sense of humour gets a bit "lost" intranslation - but I suspect its not lost on Dodgetkboy - I think our little "difference of opinion" has been worked through. My sharks are rotting on his doorstep, and his bear has taken a dump on my path - so we're even...
