If you believe that. YOU you are dumber than we thought.Sorry, but those are the facts.
Oh brother, don't tell me that you don't know what it cost to do a stock rebuild? A pure stock drag racing engine is strictly a factory engine. The only extra cost is the extra machine work that they may want to do. What I said could be done is right from the rule book. I'm not going to explain it again go see for yourself.If you believe that. YOU you are dumber than we thought.

Perhaps, but you're talking about someone having to have years of nitrous tuning experience. The average car guy does not.I bet you could squeeze a 250hp wet shot out of it if the rings were gapped correctly, tune was right, and you used a progressive controller. IMO the trick with keeping a motor alive with nitrous is to ramp it in rather than hit it all at once.
That's the best way. Good pistons really aren't that expensive. What is it they say? Buy once, cry once?There have been thousands of good engines ruined from playing around with NOS on cast piston engines.
Unless you can afford the trouble and expense of rebuilding it I would forget the idea.
If you want to play with NOS get some good pistons, connecting rods with extra heavy wrist pins, and an extra fuel line to keep it from leaning out.

Engines for pure stock drag racing are Engines that are blueprinted and highly tuned. As I've said several times before they are totally stock.keep clicking those ruby slippers together danny.
*a race motor is factory*
*all it takes is more machine work*
*nobody deviates from the rule book*
anyway, no need to explain anything because you clearly don't know jack **** about race motors of any kind, sort or type.
okay buddy, that sounds pretty knowledgeable. you've done the research and seem to know what you're talking about. i'll take your word for it.Engines for pure stock drag racing are Engines that are blueprinted and highly tuned. As I've said several times before they are totally stock.
He is married to a gal named Alexa and has Google. He knows all.okay buddy, that sounds pretty knowledgeable. you've done the research and seem to know what you're talking about. i'll take your word for it.

Or, you can just hit ignore like I did.If people would just not engage him, that would do it. I think he needs another vacation. @toolmanmike ?
Nitrous will destroy a well built, forged piston, forged crank, forged rod engine just as fast as it will a junkyard engine. It’s ALL in the tune up.There have been thousands of good engines ruined from playing around with NOS on cast piston engines.

He will still PM you asking for opinions and to post to his threads until you block that too.Or, you can just hit ignore like I did.
