    Props on the engine build and the car build and the tuning. It take the whole package for strong numbers like that and with the low octane gas it is even more amazing. Did you mention who the tuner...

    Interesting and fun project. Has anyone set this up? I plan to do this soon. AEM makes one I hear. Will do (attempt to at least) and report back soon.
  5. Moe!!! Have you seen the NA power that can be had out of your FI spec camshaft?

    That title is click bait certainly. But I was wide-eye surprised after the 1st pull on the engine dyno.
    A recent engine customer had me build a forced induction LT1-396 (low compression and heavy...

    I saw this video right after I was validating a tune with a customer's car and his cam sensor failed. I was dialing in the MAF and then the VE and I thought I was finished. Then a check engine...

    Mike, have you figured this out yet? Any info you have would be good learning. How is the forced induction tuning coming along?

    Hopefully you found the problem. Seems like, (as mentioned), the guide plate needs to be positioned just slightly so that the pushrod is not tight in that U-groove.
    Pain in the butt if you have to...

    I think that will be fine due to the 6" rods and short stroke. Sounds like a good combo Guillaume. Just know that all of the 1000 hp motors I have torn down have out of round bores. They run fine...

    Guillamue I think 1000 hp with the blower. He had already made that much in the previous combo with AFR heads and JE/SRP pistons.

    Red line: 6500rpm . I told Anders the owner that 6000 rpm would be a good shift point and to keep her under 6500rpm for longevity. Brian, for the 21* ? I don't know. Ai was told the application...

    The SBC nose will break off at some point in the future but when it does then it's not the end of the world. That is when you can convert over to the BBC nose. I guess it really depends on how much...
  16. 580hp 502tq 397ci LT1 on engine dyno (8.5:1)

    The heaviest rotating assembly I have ever put together surprised me on the engine dyno when it pulled solid HP and torque numbers, (580/502).
    Note that I've only had a few motors on the engine...
