Blake's Truck UPDATE

[Blakewilder]

Well, the heads are back from the Machinist for the second time. He reworked both sides. The intake side is flowing 347 (was 320) and the exhaust side is flowing 289 (was 266). The crank is balanced (rods were 100 grams heavier than stock each). The billet main caps had to be modified for some reason, he had to shave em 3 one thousandths or so...Block is honed and ready to go. Dave hopes to have it back in the truck by theweekend. Then, its sealed ram air time and off to the dyno for a look see.....Preliminary guesses are 800 rwhp ish although the machinist is claiming 900....well see. I would be happy with anything over 750 (without boosting the Paxton, and the NOS) with the 10 pound pulley I hope to be well into the 800's.
Will keep u posted.

hmmm what would something like that set up to be NA run for hp?

 

[OCBob]

Damn, sounds like a beast.

 

[VPRPWR]

Can't wait to see some vids down the track:rock:

 

[Nowwhat]

Right on Blake.....let's get a 10 sec QC around here.....

 

[Dave T(BADVENM)]

NICE, I hope everything works out for ya. You've been down a difficult path.

I'm wondering the same thing, I would like that same setup w/o the Paxton.

We should know pretty soon. We'll have very similar setups, only mine will be NA w/ a couple stages of NOS.

yepper. My motor is done and at Boomer's and I know he is tweaking the Strikers too. We will be running the paxton with a number of changes and upgrades...

Me too!!!

You guys are doing some awesome stuff. I envy your patience and can't wait to see the results.

Can someone help me with the head flow issue??? With the assumption that an engine is just an air pump, what goes in needs to come out...what happens to the 58 cfm between intake and exhaust?

Still trying to learn.

 

[mauiSRT/10]

Sounds quite awesome Blake!!

The Stockers flow more intake than exhaust too...I think all heads do....maybe compression of air or something.....I dunno. i just know that I asked Boomer and aDan Cragin......that was all I needed!

Prof..........This is just a guess.....but.....wouldn't the amount of air exiting via exhaust be less as some of the incoming air has been converted to energy...........?

 

[Blakewilder]

It had better = a shitload of HP.....Cuz it definately did = a shitload of MONEY!

 

[Prof]

Yeah...well we all accept the word of the experts...thank heaven there are some experts! Maybe Silverback will chime in here...just being an academic and asking mundane questions...

I am really excited to hear the dyno numbers!!!!

By the way if you ever need a lawyer (and I hope you don't) both my daughter and son-in-law have practices in West Palm! My son-in-law is a saint...he took the highest maintenance daughter in the world...made her his wife and I will love him eternally!

 

[Blakewilder]

What are their names?Unforunately i have needed them in the past...i wasnt always as scared of the law as i am now......hehe. David Roth, and Roy Black are who I have used in the past....

 

[Prof]

I considered that but my brain could'nt get around it very well....I need a teacher bad!

So with your hypothesis...the air that is lost between intake and exhaust becomes burned rubber!!!! I like that reasoning...think I will go check your concept...
