could conceivably have a lsx block done to match my 4.010 pistons then.....then again....lsx is heavy
Good to know though....

Im not saying this will be easy. im just saying we are not woried about the first 100' after that we will be heavyer and have less hp than the big block SC cars. but were not going out thinking we can win that class we just hope to be close enough to get lucky once in a while. hell if we place 10th and run a full season it will still be fun.

I don't think getting it to 60 will be our issues. its the 170 mph and sub 5 second 1/8's we will need to work on. hell my little brothers 510 rwhp car goes 1.38 60's

pushing water Yeh We Pushed Water To. Then We Heard About Using Yamalube (yamaha Brand Gasket In A Tube) And Appears To Have Solved The Problem With A 250 Shot. This Is With A Cometic .040 Gasket, 6.0 Iron Block With 11.1 Compression

Sounds like your tune up is way off.
I sprayed a 250 all last year with no issues. .045 cometics

IF you free spin a 1400 lb roller and tune it it might like 28* on a 300 shot but put a 3400lb load on the car and it will detonate its @ss off!
A lot of guys are way too agressive tuning their cars, wayyy more aggressive than I am with Shiz and ATVs car anyway, and they dont seem to be going slower than many
Shiz saw lil more than a 300 shot, on pump gas (making power 8.90s-9.10s at 3600#, I see some saying they hit theirs with a 300 shot but it doesnt et or trap what most would think a car would on that kind of shot and we had little of the problem some guys have on 200-250 hits.) Were not doing anything out of the ordinary no 1/2 stud stuff

If jeff would only get off his *** and send his sponsor stuff in guys could get some really cool n20 help!
