Default C5r heads and FI

could you make an FI setup with the C5r heads (they are around 35cc combustions chambers) and individual TB's...... (and yes i know how much they are so dont comment on that)

i have access to these for a great price and wanted to know if it would work or if i would have to run N/A or juiced.

about how big a dish?

would that weaken the piston if you made them very deep?


what about shorter rods..... is that even possible?

We did a C5R headed motor, with an F1 recently. Just opened the chambers to 48cc, and went with some big dished pistons. End compression was right at 9.7:1.

Honestly I think you are wasting time and money going with c5-r heads for FI. Why not just go with some all-pro or AFR. They may even perform better because you will be able to run lower compression.

I see. If I were you and you don't mind nitrous, I would definatly run high cr and a lot of nitrous. Personally I don't like nitrous so I wouldn't do it.

LOnSLO is that a typo? 4.8 psi and 680 hp. I think that 14.8 psi is a little high forthat hp level also so i am lost.

Yes that's 4.8 psi. This has a custom manifold, good sized solid roller cam, on a big inch motor. C5R heads are no joke.

Who knows what the specs are. good sized solid roller can be anything, as well as big inch motor.

Sorry, can't give out specs. It's a customers car, and when they spend a lot of money, they don't want their combos broadcast. Just know it works
