Great work Jorge. Your engine compartment looks awesome. I am really looking forward to seeing what kind of hp the Roe can make with the vacuum problem solved. :rock:
I liked the spinning back kick for show (even though it did not connect solidly), but the rib shots and knee to the head were awesome. That guy was pretty tough to not fall down after the knee to the head. The ref made the right call to stop it. You could have really hurt him in the next few...
No more vacuum on the filter side of the TB now. Looks like you are on the way to being the first build to unleash the Roe to achieve its greatest potential HP. Sean should be underwriting your R&D. :D
Dropped the compression to 8.6:1, fully built engine, heads flow 330, planning on 15 lbs of boost. Its all in Justin's capable hands now. I will do whatever he recommends. Should be interesting.
Yes we were measuring 2" of vacuum on the filter side of the TB. I never knew of a formula to convert that to lost hp. If 1" equals loss of 1 psi of boost, then I guess thats about right.
It will be very interesting to see your results. I always thought the Roe had the potential to make 800 hp and it looks like your build will be the one to prove it. yes, I know about plan B's (and plan C's). That is what makes this so fun. ;)
Based on my results with trying to get as much as possible out of the Roe, I agree that the TB is preventing it from achieving its full potential. It would be great to see a Roe blower produce 800 hp. Hope to see you get there, or close to it.
After several set backs, my truck has finally arrived at JMB for the F1C Procharger and some of Justin's other goodies. :elefant: :elefant: :elefant: :elefant: :elefant: :elefant: :elefant: :elefant: :elefant: :elefant: :elefant:
Testing the new Slave Cylinder
Drove the truck all weekend with the "Good" modified slave in stop and go traffic. Shifts great. May be my imagination, but I seem to be able to hit third much easier than ever before. :elefant: Can't wait for Justin to install the blower now.
IMHO anyone using a stout twin disk racing clutch with the upgraded Viper slave should consider modifying the Viper slave to get rid of the plastic collar. It is a problem just waiting to manifest itself. When it goes it really does a lot of damage, I am lucky that I was able to salvage the...
I do not know. He did this on a lathe as an R&D project and as a favor to me, but it was very time consuming. He likes doing R&D on Viper stuff (including Viper trucks). This would need to be done on a CNC machine to be economical. He also built my motor and did some trick stuff, including some...
