Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
Use your 454 block and build a 427, or go 60 over on the 396, either way your buying pistons. Or like I mentioned before, make a trip up to Canada and buy my 396
  . Why don't you want to build the 454?

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
I agree Doug, build the 454. Build yourself a 496. I have a new fuel cell sitting here (well at Brians) as well if you need. I am sure Brian can donate some items. Infact he is not using his new motor yet. Let's put that in your truck. lol
Is the 454 a 4 bolt? Last edited by bskylerj; 10-13-2006 at 01:23 AM. |

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
Doug I also would build the 454! I love my 468! But I wish I would have bought a set of aluminum heads though!
I dropped my best 1/8 mile Et with my exhaust swap! I went 6.44 on the motor but I have put the nos convertor back in so I'm ready to spray it and see some 5.'s

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
Just finished the last race of the year...I ended up in second place in the points championship in pro. I also runnered up in the king of the track race. Got a cool hat..lol.
In yesterdays race(I was 30 points out of first) I won the first round and when I shut down it popped and caught fire :O... I got it running but it wasn't right. I staged(thats all I could do) and the guy went red!! The next round I got the bye run..lol The fourth round I tried to run but it popped and caught on fire again. I thought I broke the engine good. Turns out the rotor came unscrewed and fell off.(MSD) It was a new distributor and I never checked the screws. It was an easy fix and the engine is still perfect. all in all a good season...so close to being a real good season..

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
Jim I'm glad you had a great season sorry you had the rotor problems. I'd put lock tite on those screws! I had to Dj all weekend. I have got to get some more high octane fuel so I can try mine on the spray again! I'm gonna try to get it on some 4 corner scales asap!

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
I've been running 11.10 at 118 off of the transbrake, but since I changed camshafts(middle of the season...doh) it reacts much quicker. I couldn't figure out the tree so I started foot breaking this last weekend. It went 11.30 at 116 off of the foot brake. I was lucky too that my reputation of "killing the tree" made some guys go red.
BTW I've sold my engine locally for 3500.00 complete. He got a screamin deal.

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
Alright here is a question for you. What % of power do you lose on the dyno through a turbo 400 with a 3000 stall? I thought I was told about 32% on the dyno. Any thoughts?

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
Well gentlmen and I use that term loosely, it has been a sad, sad day. I had to put a new tranny in the truck and we got that finished up on Monday. We putit on the dyno today to finish tuning it up before I took the truck down to Phoenix to the Goodguys show. We put it on the dyno and made the first run to find out where the settings were at. It was rich down low and lean on the top end. Made a good pull for the first pull and knowing we needed to tune it better it pulled 526 horse and 493 foot pounds of torque at 5800 rpm's to the rear wheels. We were pleased but new there was more in there. I am running a turbo 400 and a 3000 stall. One of the problems is I have 10 to 1 compression and 8lbs of boost.
After shutting it down to tweak on it we started it back up to make a run and there was a god awfull noise. We started tearing into the top but found nothing. I pulled the pan and we looked further into the motor and found theat cylinder #8 has a seized wrist pin. It has caused some cylinder damage and I must tear the motor down. Iwill now go a 8 to 1 compession motor with about 15lbs of boost and should produce around 750 to 800 horse at the crank. It feels like I just got this thing together, oh yea i did....

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
Tuff break, you've had your share of trouble. What octane fuel are you running? Sounds like detonation killed your pin.

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
OUCH!!! I feel your pain, that's how I ended last season, a wounded motor.
 On the bright side if there is one, stroke that baby!!!
