An n/a cobra cammed engine can make peak tq at 5200. I'm curious as to why the tq didn't peak at at a higher rpm and also why ut dropped off so fast after peak. The boost should keep the tq after pek at a very high level.
Very nice ET. Terrible news on the knock. I'm optimistic for you though, as I have seen pump failure due to gear fragmentation without total crank and cam damage. Stall out is not good though. Good luck man.
you spent $21K and went back together with unported heads and intake, stock k-member and didnt even upgrade to a 3 bolt tensioner and cover?
where did you spend your $$?
Heads are ported mildly, figured I could do the intake and crossmember any time and I went to an 8 rib set up why would I need a 3 bolt tensioner. There is no slip at all right now. Money adds up fast especially when you have to farm out the work. The built trans and converter was $3500, D1 kit $4500 built shortblock $3000. Heads with springs cams and head work $2000. Fuel system $1000. Suspension about $600. GI joe 8 rib kit $600. Probably $2000 for gaskets arp bolts, mafia, trans cooler, misc shit. I am missing a few things not to mention all the labor. When that guy asked I counted everything. It is always a work in progress so It will be coming along as money comes in. My goal was a street comfortable 9 second car and I am almost there.
still a great build and thanks for sharing. I'm building a complete motor and fuel system for my Black 03 right now.
sorry to hear of your engine troubles, now youve convinced me to buy the MMR hurricane pump
fawk man, i hope its ok! :/
Well, I guess it could be alot worse. Keep us updated.
I am glad your getting it back together and are not one of those guys that part their car out after something like this. Can't wait to see more 10 second runs and who's oil pump are you going to run.
Word?.................... Your OEM block and cast crank will be tested to the max here shortly.
.
Glad to hear she's back up and running! I know it wasn't cheap but hopefully it will last this time. :rockon:
Did your oil pump gears fail?
This is good news! Looking forward to some track vids.
Here are pic when my oil pump went out and I feel your pain.
Not to be a douche but how come you didn't put billet oil pump gears in when you built your motor?
Those are one of the most important things, in my opinion.
