I guess this is the most usable power running around the street on street tires. They said with a little more timing they could get it to 700 and some headers would put it overTNVIPER said:very good numbers!!:rock:
Pushrods yesProf said:How about the push rods, did they upgrade those?
So you are still running stock exhaust manifold? I think that your next step would be JetHot coated headers...she will breath a lot better but most importantly you will lower the engine compartment temperature 70 or 80 degrees...hence intake will have cooler air to gulp down.
Did they coat the pistons?
Sounds like a strong street machine...I hope you enjoy it this spring (assuming that we get a spring!)
Nice job Steve...
No mains. I had a long conversation with Tator on this. He said thats one on of the best features about these engines , cross bolted mains. He said they are good to 1500 hp and that there was no need to spend money needlessly. All these people have been doing for the past 18 years is work on these engines.Yellow venom said:Great #'s and build! ,No billet mains?
He mentioned it would benefit from headers. Is the flow characteristics of the shorties equivalent to the long tube? I dont really want to carve up a 3500 exhaust system set up for stocke exhaust manifoldsProf said:Thanks for the responses Steve...Tator seems to have a strong reputation...so their ideas are relevant.
JetHot stock exhaust manifolds...very interesting!
My only comment about the mains...the Gen IV main bearings were changed due to the move to 650 hp...that was what motivated me to use the Gen IV mains...
You seem to have a very logical and rational build...I would not expect anything else from you!
Once again, NICE JOB!
