start off at 150 for a good base to see what the car does, and work your way up from there...

 

I should have stated that I was spraying my stock motor w/150. I am thinking @ starting at 150 and working my way to 300-350 range. Block and crank permitting.

 

Your crank should be fine along with your block... our cranks are good for 700+rwhp I would still start at the 150 even if you have forged internals. It's a good starting point.

 

RUTAN TA what kind of power are you making on that setup? Have you dyno'd it yet?

 

I have not dyno'd it yet,I am waiting on the machine shop to finish a few things and I am working on relocating my battery and building my fuel cell for my stand alone(I want at least a 3 gal. cell). I will post some numbers when its finished,should be sometime next month. I am also looking at a vacuum pump from Charlie from A&A.

 

I wouldn't hesitate to spray 300-350 with that setup, that might just be me though.

 

Thats what I was thinking.I just thought I would get a little input.

 

With the forged rods and pistons along with the good bolts that bottom end will hold up to a lot of power. And you also have a good fuel supply to go with it. Just be sure if you spray a big shot to have a good tune done to avoid detonation, which can and will destroy any motor.

 

very true , fuel is there no doubt but ya should get her tuned first then feed her with juiced as much as ya want man .

peace

 

I dont think you will have any problem spraying in the 300 horspower range on that motor with some race gas but with out stages or a progressive controller you will probly be fighting a losing battle aginst traction.
