Im sure Im missing stuff... This is a start though.

 

i'm gonig to make a new catch can for my car, i bought enough material for two i think. if you want one, it's no trouble for me to whip one up and have it powdercoated. i'll do it on the cheap for you too

 

Sounds good dude. Thats awesome. Thank you!

 

New job, so the money is finally back.

Made good progress yesterday, and will be back out there today.

If i can get parts ordered today. and have them by next weekend. I should be able to fire it up then.

 

woohoo great news man!

 

That's great Trevor, if you get her goin for M&G, you'll have to run it by my place for the after party! Good luck getting if fired up!

 

thanks brent. yea. im hoping to have her driving around in the next few weeks. so yea, after party sounds good.

 

Great! Posted a link on "mi"...check it out.

 

Brent, ill be there. sounds like a good time.


Anyways, last night I spent ~1000 at summit on my fuel system plumbing and some other little stuff...

Bought my joe gibbs break in oil.

and spent ~900 at byunspeed on ATI dampner, MSD starter, FAST 85# injectors.

 

Sounds good!

What fuel system did you get? And why the 85#'s? Seems like a lot of injector.

 

injectors are way too big.
have a look at this to work out how to get your sizing right for what injector you need.

I pieced together my own. -8 feed, -6 return...



I think the injectors will be perfect.

650WHP / .8 = ~812FWHP

812 * .5 BFSC = 406

406 / 8 = 51

51 / 85% Duty Cycle = 60#/hr

60 * 130% (E85) = 78#/hr

 

Yeah a few questions for you what heads(ported/shaved), valves, camshaft duration/lift, compression what does the engine builder think the engine will make.



EDIT: just saw your going to be running E85.....opps.
Your HP figures will probably be close.
looking forward to seeing how it goes, tell me about the heads etc in my above question and engine builder what he thinks.

 

No way! Its a secret!... j/k

right now... stock ls7 heads, 244/256 ~.660 lift, aimed for ~11.1 (hoping for 600WHP)

in the next few months, im going to rebuild the top end, with some aftermarket LS7 heads, ~14:1 compression, jesel rockers, a marcella or something, and ill run E98. (Looking for closer to 700WHP)



BTW, i just placed an order for a Go Pro, so ill be posting 1080p videos of the start-up and stuff.

 

Lol, better plan on a LOOOOOOOOOONG lead time for that one.

 

why not port the stock ls7 heads you have and shave them to increase comp a little.

mine are shaved 20thou making it about 11:6.1

 

how long is your wait?

because i dont want 11.6, if im gonna waste my time redoing the topend... I want to go big...

 

go the new dr heads then or the mozez.

 

Thats exactly what i was thinking.
