So you used stock pistons on a .030 over block?
Dig, cobra
Roll fox
the bike is gone monday. movers are coming to get it. and you are trapping the same in the 1/8th... you havent seen it run the 1/4I'll run you on the lowest boost setting against your fox, and I told you that I would race you on your tiller with me at 26psi once I get my meth installed but you said you didn't want to get your bike ready just to race me. I was trapping only 3mph slower then you in the 1/8th last year with a lot less hp then this year .
stock compression and material. they are .030 pistons, and the block was align bored and torque plate honed.So you used stock pistons on a .030 over block?
its runs just fine :beer:^^ yea no wonder it doesnt run good.......
and as stated above, they are just simple hypertueticsI'm pretty sure he used oversized pistons but just stock compression.
its built correctly, i have faith in my builder...he stated it is a stock short block(ie rotating assembly)
if it was built correctly that combo would work the Cobra
we'll find out, as soon as the weather clearsI completely agree you with you on that one.

stock rods and crank and all that good stuff.

lets do both.
hopefully my parts will be here...
i broke my tensioner yesterday, cause im so manly

the motor is out of a 93 SSP. And i dont know the miles, or usage, so why keep it?What was wrong with the old block? (sorry if it was mentioned earlier) And why would you (unless you have a 93) downgrade to hypertuetics from forged?
this isnt my first engine, or my first car. I know what works, what doesnt, and i know parts limits. if i was making big plans for this engine, i wouldnt have kept the stock block.It's not like a mild H/C fox would in anyway shape or form hurt those pistons.. but if you got big plans for the motor it isn't that good of an idea.
4.56's and DR's on a modular is gonna be damn near impossible to catch with a mild H/C vert on a 3.73 and non drag radials. From a roll the modular is gonna still be breathing hard once the aero's/weight of the vert come into play on the big end.

BTW I'm gonna be devils advocate here, and say unless the fox is tuned, its gonna lose both roll and dig.

oh and RACE ALREADY GODDAMNIT! :beer:
The motor that was in his car was a 93 motor, so he didn't have a choice, I believe almost all the parts for the car he had from an older motor, he was trying to keep it a low budjet project. The race should almost definately go down either friday night or saturday afternoon if the weather channel is right.

i bet the weight is a lot closer than you think.
i dont intend to run a 302...I wasn't trying to bag your setup, don't get me wrong. But what is wrong with the stock 302 block?
main girdle, and the most important thing.. VALLEY GIRDLE, and you could push near 600+ out of it.
:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
All they're gonna do is keep the parts in a neat mess when the block splits....the WILL NOT stop the block from splitting.
i dont intend to run a 302...
the plan for the car is a 408.
and i absolutely hate being at somethings limits. If a block can handle 600, i wouldnt feel good being anywhere over 500. i just dont like that feeling at all.
150+ more rwhp than a non girdled motor. :idea:
na with spray for fun:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
