I don't think he ever lost the fire to raise hell with a stick car but it was more of just getting fed up with the politics of racing. I think having a few buddies to race with at events helps.

Actually it's had an 8.50 legal 8 point cage for two years now lol. With all that was going on with my wife's health I had no spare money or ambition to go racing but fortunately that has changed. I just don't want to throw it together again and instead actually get it the way I want it this...

Kind of, but not for long lol, even if my car isn't at renegade I will be there. I guess worse case scenario you and I will have to wait until woodburn for our first mopar event and we all get to race our stuff. Tim told me he will have his car with mine in the stick class, it should be a hell...

You guys are really making it hard for me lol. I have to build an engine and do a bunch of work to the car so I was shooting for the mopar nats in August to be the first event but dam I would really like to have the car for renegade.

If all else fails race it at renegade without the body panels and call it the "dart kart", I'm sure roadkill would approve!

I agree, just looks tougher like a street brawler lol. The kind of car that shows up at the local hang out and you wonder how fast is that thing?

I have used quite a few, feel free to pm me if you want to talk about them.

So is this thing going to be ready for renegade in June?, if it isn't then technically you forfeit the race and Bill can make you wear a dress!:lol:

I get it, I am actually pretty conservative and like to do more with less myself as my budget has made it necessary. I guess that is why I am so eager to test things that otherwise would not be tested, who is going to spend the money to buy parts and pay for dyno time all in the name of...

In the next 90 days is the plan. The engine will be a typical 408 with a moderate solid flat tappet cam, 10.5 compression and several intakes as well including a victor, trickflow, rpm, and an m1.

I knew you would like that lol. He does have a flowbench and a dyno so there must be a reason he is using the 50 degree stuff now. It could be in limited applications but I don't know his reasoning, I hope to test this and many other things on the dyno. The first test coming up is trickflow vs...

So using the the current comp 314R-10 and the head flow in post #100 I came up with 733hp. Just to add I use desktop dyno (the basic comp cams version) quite a bit for fun to predict what power it will make on the dyno and so far if I am conservative with the inputs the hp/tq peaks are pretty...

Fwiw here are some flow numbers for a set of Brett Miller w5's that were sold on here and now happen to be sitting in my garage.

So a guy building small block mopar engines at the highest level decides he wants to do his own version of a w5 head and guys on here think they can make more power with a ported stock/edelbrock/speedmaster lol. Have at it boys!, when you guys have engines that make power with non offset rocker...

That's what I call a squishy toy lol, I had a maine coon named Lilly and she was fluffy like that.

In my experience If a bench doesn't look like that then the person isn't getting enough work done lol

I just went through this Bill with the recent weather lol. I spent last Saturday jammed in my trailer taking out the block plugs to drain the coolant, definitely a game of twister!. If possible do what what has been said and pull the block plugs (leave the system empty) then replace with...

That is going to be awesome, my dyno partner Tim has a couple 3.79 cranks and at some point he is going to build one. We are always discussing builds to dyno test with and really wanted to find a way to do one with a 3.79 crank. We think the hp would peak at a higher rpm than a 4" and make more...

I could with a lenco but I'm pretty sure at some point I would wreck :lol:

And one more just to show how exciting a stick car can be lol

Watch this video then lol :thumbsup:

Yeah but now do the same thing with a stick:lol:

Well the stick class is on and as far as racing automatics that's like sitting in a lazy boy while flipping channels with the remote lol.

Oh and if you don't already know mopar nats at Woodburn is moved out until August 4th this year so a bit more time for you. The thing that sucks for a few of us is so far they don't show a stick class so hopefully they will have one. Of course as you know you really need to have your car...

Not yet, my car is hibernating in its trailer waiting for me to clean the garage. Not much left to do but I am sure I will add to the list with all of my infinite wisdom and make it a push lol. I need to get to it since race season will be here tomorrow, let me know if we need to have a work...

Time to go racing!

Nobody's arguing the market size but even a blind man could see there are more performance parts than ever for the small block mopar. Bottom line is there are some companies that are willing/making big investments in an engine that you keep claiming is all but dead. I would think you would be...

I guess when Ritter doesn't sell anymore blocks and trickflow discontinues their small mopar lineup you can be the first to say I told you so.

My take on this: Ritter is selling mopar race small blocks so it makes sense based on those sales he has an idea of the potential for head sales. As mentioned he already cast a head (it was ported by a well known guy) and then checked over to redo the core box before getting delayed. Callies...

You say that like it is a bad thing lol
