25 psi and minus intake temps Finally have the car running for last month will be racing in two weeks for some fun, the car isnt set up for seroius drag work at this power level.
Running a dry ice intercooler system we are seeing -32 deg cel intake temps
At present I am only running 25 psi the plan is to boost to 35 psi in May after some racing commitments. We will then dismantle motor for inspection to see if we have solved some block issues or need to change to a after market block.
This motor is based on a 6 litre cast iron block but using a std stroke forged crank, oliver rods and cp pistons comps around 8.3/1 cams solid roller in 270 range with .720 lift.
Having to use my spare stock cast heads as the Darts I had lasted all of 1 minute they had a crack from the water jacket into the number 1 head stud hole.
Looking forward to some 1/4 action dont think we will get a super time but the mph should be interesting.
