Dynamometer Results & Comparisons - Who will work for parts....

Developing a rev kit for LS1 and other motors. Have every intention of marketing this product. Maybe you have seen my work around here at LS1Tech though I have been out for a little while. Anyway, looking for someone that can provide validated before and after dyno data in exchange for a free set to help me promote this. Only criteria is motor must be able to produce and sustain higher RPM. No Junkers. Must be legit. Prefer someone who is currently suffering HP drop due to valve train limitations. Not really looking to get into a huge debate about rev kits. I do good work and I think I might have a great product. Fit and finish is second to none. Best way if you might be interested is to just email me at jobshop@thelasershop.net. Hoping I can get interest from dyno shop owners who may be interested in sponsoring a candidate or customer of theirs. Will have a final design built very soon. Nor Cal area preferred just so I may be present but open to all interested.

Thanks, RonO

This should be interesting...your work looks REALLY nice.

i know I sound like a retard but what do these nice item accompish?? is it just a matter of beefing up the top end??

please help!
rev kit NEWB here!

No worries Erik , I don't know much about those things either. In fact first I have heard of it.

id be possibly interested... depending on what kind of warranty i have it aint gonna blow my engine up :jest:

I have a dyno shop in the bay area (suisun city), i have a c6 and I am experiencing some valvtrain issues at 6700 i have not spent anytime yet with the problem but will be looking at it soon.

send me a pm and explain what you have going on


edit.... after looking at the parts why dont you just meet with me and we will set something up. I could have the guys pull the heads the end of next week if your parts are ready

plus one on mitchells C6...it would be a great candidate cause if you want high revving he is your guy...his car is always revvved high

Several takers already via this forum and my email. Ill give it a few days to see a few more. Have a idea it might be interesting to do two sets. Have guys interested with very modified setups and others with nearly stock. There are some LS2 motors and I have to verify if there are geometry differences and do have immediate plans are for all LS series and possibly the new Hemi as well, but nothing until it is been proven with numbers. I appreciate the positive response so far. An email with the title “rev kit” comes through fine and doesn’t get trashed by my filter.

um back to my original question...how do these kitas work and what do they strengthen up top??

Thanks

I would be interested. I'm always looking for a way to get more out of my combo. I don't have any issues with my current set up though. But I could tell you what it's worth at the track and the dyno. My last dyno was 452 rwhp and 408 rwtq with a 12 bolt rear with 4.30 gears and a Steel Denny's nitrous ready driveshaft. I make good power already , lets see if your rev kit will make more :devil:

A rev kit controls the inertia of the heavy lifter linear motion at higher RPM's. The linear force of the lifter mass increases as the rpm increases. The faster it moves, the more it weighs. The added spring pressure on the lifter body and not the plunger increases dampening force but adds no stress on the valve train. Primarily for a hydraulic lifter motor, a 4 1/2 ounce lifter with 3/8” of linear travel will produce many pounds of inertia above 6000 RPM’s. All that force would normally be transferred to the lifter plunger via the pushrod. The idea is to have enough spring pressure on the lifter body itself to keep it seated on the cam in any situation and allow the valve springs to do the job of controlling only the valve and pushrod thus the lifter does not have to work so hard. The result is horsepower sustained that would normally be lost due to valve float and valve train failure. Other tests have shown a hundred horsepower increase above 6500 RPM’s and a higher RPM capability.

A rev kit will not cost any horsepower loss because for every cam lobe ramping a spring up there is another ramping down. The materials the cam and lifter are made of are designed to more than withstand the added force and friction. Historically, rev kits have been designed as almost a mere afterthought. There is not a lot to them but in the past many have complained about the fit and the noise of some brands. There is always room for improvement and in this case for a performance concept as old as the small block itself.

Excellent Thanks!

Probably not the best place to post it but I dont see anywhere else. I would like to be a customer when your done testing, selling, or if you have an extra set. Let me know.
