I wonder if that is why Summit (and now Jegs?) is pulling Speedmaster products. Before they could turn a blind eye, but Speedmaster crossed a line.

I think places in the US that sell copycat parts that violate patents should be able to be sued as if they stole the patents themselves. Can’t sue someone in another country, but doesn’t mean the parts should be able to be sold somewhere that they violate the patent.

If things go too far, I think they will be out of business before all the hand porters die. Your port might be better but I bet it will never be the cheap option. And based on Speedmaster's success, seems people care more about cheap. :D To be clear, I'm not a fan of the option, just...

With the advent of 3D scanners, it is even easier to copy parts. Who needs to spend the time and money to build their own CNC port tooling when you can buy a single head and us a 3D scanner to duplicate the port. Brent and @pittsburghracer become unnecessary at that point. That might be...

If we didn't have copying and improving products we would still be stuck with Model A's. The whole reason cars have gotten better is because someone said to themselves "I could do that better" and thus pushed the envelope. It's why we have different motors, transmissions, brakes, etc. But...

A buddy and I used to go to Bremerton for a Mopar race and a Mopar show/swap the following day. Could have sworn Bremerton was a 1/4 mile back then, but it has been years. Good memories.

I like the flat hood. Sounds like it is time to go EFI so you can use a forward facing TB like the LS guys seem to like. You could pick up a Holley top and build your own SBM intake that fits it. :rofl:

I would be very interested, if I had money. :rofl:

Here are the numbers I got from having a 2000 Ram 5.9 cam run through the Cam Doctor at Bullet Cams: Duration @ 0.050: I/E 189*/194* Lobe separation angle: 111* Lift @ cam: I/E 0.273"/0.278" Valve lift w/ 1.6 rockers: I/E 0.437”/0.445”

Sorry about the delay. Here is an overlay of the curves with the bigger cam and the above flow numbers. The curve with the dots is the "A" numbers. Here is a chart of the numbers with the "A" port flow values: And a chart of the numbers with the "B" flow values:

That I can do. I just meant that I wasn’t sure what the simulator did when the lift exceeded the data points. I would assume it just continues the curve, which could be wrong if the port didn’t gain any cfm or even lost cfm at the data point that wasn’t entered.

Sorry, I didn’t get to sit down with my laptop and mess with the flow numbers like requested. Might be tomorrow before I do. On the topic of port flow numbers and my version of Desktop Dyno 2000, I know it does some extrapolation of things like cam info, so I suspect it does the same with the...

I can plug those in later today and see what they do. I assume that is just intake, do you want me to use the exhaust numbers from the OP as they are?

I got it on a disk back when Windows 95 was a thing. :D There was one update to it at some point that I downloaded and have never had a problem with it running since them. No idea if you can still get it. Sounds like someone found it someplace, but I haven’t looked for it myself. What I...

If for no other reason than there are lefts, rights and multiple stops on any drive I take, a road course build feels to me to be a better fit for a muscle car that you can drive. Certainly there are limits and it can still be more race car than street car, but a narrow focus drag car slows...

That was cool. Wonder where someone could get more info on it.

I am running Dyno2000 version 3.10 on Windows 10. Fired right up.

I have a copy and it works fine for me.

Ah, sorry. Yes, it was a Super Stock.

Are you trying to reduce your fleet? Could have swore I saw a 1320 similar to yours on the block. Duster is wicked cool. Hope your runs in Vegas exceed your expectations.

Keep me in mind and let me know when so I can meet you there. :thumbsup:

Can you take a closer picture of how the '73 hood interfaces with the earlier grill? Looks like it kind of works from a distance. But maybe it is just the angle? Make sure you come over to Spokane and race at Qlispe this summer. https://www.qrpracing.com/

I'm hoping my 5.7 with shorty headers, 6.4 intake and 6.4 cam get's close to that 450 number. But not shooting for any certain number, and I expect to be more than happy with whatever I get for a good long time. But fun to dream, and I sure like the look of the HC blower.

Sounds like a video from member @CurtDawg510 on here Yikes! I have daydreamed about stepping up to an HC in my '73 Duster after I have grown tired of the cammed 5.7 I am going to put in it. Not ready to give up on that but something to keep in mind. He wasn't running 15" BFG's on it was he...

A Rose by any other name....?

I know the OEM 6.4 BGE blocks have been built to 1000+ hp, SC of course. The BGE blocks are the truck 6.4 and all 6.4's after 2017 (I think) and have BGE cast into the rear of the block. Not sure on the pre-BGE 6.4 block, but I kind of doubt someone could find the limit of the block without...

Thanks. Sounds like your car does well. You forgot the AWD advantage as well. Not knocking either car, just wondered if the gap didn't have some additional background, like inexperience. Pretty sure he had the regen braking on based on the display on his phone. It would go negative leading...

Wasn't implying that the Tesla was something special, nor was I thinking they are typically slow. Based on the AWD display, betting it is a 450+ HP model, too. I just wondered if there were other factors, like the OP's Barracuda not being driven as hard, not as set up for the track as the...

So why was he significantly faster than you? More aggressive driving, AWD, he's set up for a road course and you were there just for fun, etc? Glad he pointed out why the display to the right started to show red, I was trying to figure that out about the time he told the passenger the battery...

To be clear, I wasn't saying that the difference in stroke between a 318/5.2 and a 360/5.9 wasn't worth anything, only that it probably didn't make a significant difference in regards to the stress to pistons/rods/crank due to high piston speeds, nor how fast it rev'ed.
