Ahhh didnt think about blow-by... that makes sense. Rings just too loose that causes that? When you say clearence you mean ring clearance?

The dyno tuning was done at Rollins, in Gainesville. Yeah the first pull it smoked like a single wide on fire. I was like " WTF, I've never seen it smoke on the street." I do have a 4an feed line and no restrictor, but it doesn't do that on the street. The blow by would be from the extra piston to wall clearance and ring gap. The Diamond race pistons required a little extra for swell, but they should be happy once I hit about 1000.

The heads are Edelbrock cnc'd and ported by West Coast C.H. 245 runner, with a 2.08 intake valve, I think.

CR is at 8.5 or so.


I did replace some vband clamps last night, fixing some exhaust leaks. Now I start spooling at 27-2800, probably full spool at 33-3500. It's fun now.

Me too. I think it would look even better with another one on the other side. When you getting back on the road?

I love waiting on parts, especially when everything else is ready. Should be some good results out of that beast.

PCV? What's that? Ditched that a long time ago. Yeah, I've never noticed it smoke like that on the street, but who knows. If I see it get that bad on the street I'll restrict the 4an feed line. So far, nothing like that.

Wow, that was all over the road. I guess there should be no difference between street cars, and race cars. I'm happy with the results none the less. I'm sure it could've made more, but why would I want to push it on cheap gas. I did like the statement " at 14-15psi you should be double your na hp". In a perfect world that would be true, but from what I've seen that's not always the case. However, if I had to guess I'm pretty close to double at 14psi. That is guessing I'm probably in the 400hp range na with the low compression.

I also liked the post where he said he drove a whole 15 miles to the dyno. I usually put at least a hundred on a given Sat. night. I guess if you can make it 15 miles before the 5 gallon fuel cell runs out, then its a street car.

Yeah I dont really know who that guy it, but he sure make alot of stout claims when it came to his LSx creations, yet he could never produce anything but a race car to back up his claims.

No word on Jeremy for this week Maybe I should call him tomorrow, lol.

I'll probably give him a call in the next couple of weeks to set something up. I've got to hook up the meth, and get a couple thing straightened out. I'll be ready to turn it up soon. I need more power.
