Holy christ!!!!!!! You better give me the tennis ball.

[nos2go]

hope they tighten the blower belt before they start it, LOL, Can you say CAR CRUISE!!!

[bohn]

WOW !!!! somebody has to much damn money. And really big Cohonies !!!!!

[pinkbunny]

There is a yellow one for sale like that on Ebay right now. I bet you can guess who's.

[snowseeker]

Has it been on fire before?

[WICKED]

On aluminum intakes/ blower setups, I believe that the blower belts are pretty loose at first until everything heats up. My buddy's truck ( pics below ) has that setup. After the BDS blower gets nice and warm ( runs a steady 210 degrees) the belt is tighter then a ... well you get the picture..

that's a big truck

[WICKED]

Yep it is.. dynoed at 750+ horsepower on 8 psi. He is running SVT bottom end on the 460, with 13:1 compression Majorly worked Cobrajet heads and a nice bumpy camshaft..

This thing has a FLAT torque curve.. You would not beleive it..AND it spins right up to 7500 RPM like RIGHT NOW.

Idles at 1400 RPM.. VERY choppy.. Its really cool.. Now I woudl love to see that in my Mustang LOL

thats a real nice truck

[OUTPLAYN]

I know of a BLAZER that will be ready to play come spring!!!

[Mijal]

Isnt that awfully high compression for a blower motor??
Maybe not.

[WICKED]

Thats the FIRST thing I asked him. Apparantly its doing just fine now that he switched over to copper head gaskets.

Plus running 8 lbs of boost is not exactly alot of PSI.. the drag guys use 20+ lbs don't they?

[Mijal]

Yeah............I didnt see the 8psi thing. I should pay more attention.

He probably runs it on methonal or maybe 116 or 118 race gas. Its gotta be expensive as hell to run that thing.

[WICKED]

Runs it on 110.. on a 20 gallon fuel cell it literally takes only 30 minutes of romping on it to drain the fuel cell!!

[1SLO5.0]

If he is running 110 he must not care to much for that motor. 110 is barely adequate for a 13:1 naturally aspirated engine.

[WICKED]

i know it seems ok.. not liek you can here deatonation with open headers!!

[1SLO5.0]

Nope, you probably won't hear it. I'll be running 116 in my car next year when I run on horsepower and 118 when I spray it. That is on a 15:1 engine. 13:1 needs more than 110, especially with a power adder.

[WICKED]

he wants to build a all engine natural horsepower engine in the 1000 HP catergory next runnign on methonal.

[1SLO5.0]

I can help him with that. He will definitely need a set of ported A460 heads to reach those levels. I just happen to be a Trick Flow dealer:D:

[WICKED]

He is kind of a prick though.. he will only use these two guys Wayne and Lee who build high dollar Race engines. But I will mention your name and see what comes of it! You need to give me some business cards!!

[DaytonaVNT]

needs a bigger blower ;)

This is the chart I got from my CAM2 dealer. I have no idea if it is correct or relevant to this discussion.

Octane required:

Compression Ratio R+(M/2) method

9 91
9.5 93
10.0 95
10.3 96
10.4 96.5
10.5 97
11.0 98
11.5 100
11.8 101
12.5 104
13.0 107
14.0 109

Isn't 11 to 1 what an s2000 and celica use??? You can only get up to 93 at the pump. Most NA cars run more than an 8.5 to 1.

My moms accord requires 87 and is a 9:1

[Wasted Income]

You've got to remember though that EFI cars can compensate for bad or low octane fuel with feedback from the knock sensor. Sure it'll RUN on cheap gas, but it won't see it's potential.
