    Casper vs Bottle Rocket !

    The most recent UTG video popped up in my YT feed just now--I clicked on it and went to 6:03 where his car is running the 1/8th. Looks like about a 9-10 sec pass-Umm he thinks hes got a chance against a Hemified 400+cube Ford ?!?!?!? The world is a stage I guess. J.Rob

    Will I break this crank?

    With the money saved over a forged crank you could afford a nice ATI if you were really concerned or go cheaper and get a PowerBond Race series--they are actually really nice for the $$. J.Rob

    Will I break this crank?

    The Scat 9000 series isn't even close to the same as the Eagle cast garbage. Just one look at the where and how large the rod journal holes are drilled tells you an awful lot. Even the appearance of the metal itself tells you something isn't right here. I love the 9000 series because they are...

    Will I break this crank?

    Really? I did not know that--It must really boogie on the bottle. J.Rob

    DING DING DING SOUND THE ALARM!...

    Still trying to order some heads and other bits-Parts total= $645 Shipping = $601. I called them and asked if they could use my UPS acct and basically was told that they use Fedex so too bad. I cancelled--I cannot pay almost what the parts were in shipping alone and its just a couple of aluminum...

    Open Chamber Heads vs Closed Chamber Heads....

    Yes actually they do suck in comparison to 781's. Back in 2002 I built 2 454's at the same time. Both engines had similar camshafts (SFT) and same compression (10.5). One 454 had the closed chamber heads and the other had '781's . Game plan was to dyno both engines on the same day and he would...

    Dyno Vs.Drag Strip Testing

    I doubt your car became more aerodynamic without the hood. I suspect your scoop is making the air entering the carbs VERY turbulent. The reason I say this is I have a Bonneville land speed customer with a 439CI 1st Gen Hemi making well over 800HP NA with 2 carbs. He battled scoop issues and...

    Dyno Vs.Drag Strip Testing

    Agreed--I charge $525 CDN for 5 hrs (which is always a full day) or $600 with dual widebands. A day on the dyno WILL accelerate your program (pun intended) by weeks or months or even years--depending on how often you get to the track. A good dyno operator can tell you much more than what is...

    How much power from intake swap?

    What are the rules concerning plenum top height and or carb spacer height? The design you have now will not work very well. You need to get that carb higher and make a much better transition into the runners. As it is now I bet your plenum volume is too small, that combined with the challenge of...
