1/4 the rpms are way higher
1/8 the rpms are way less

 

Thanks, Kurtis. I'm building a Teksid block but the rpm capability is the problem I'm trying to figure out. Everything else is straight forward but the cam followers are the potential problem I can't figure out what to do. Are you stock or sumptin else?

 

I use GT supercar lifters and followers. I turn over 9k at times. Get with Jordan at Modular Head Shop. Tell him I sent you.

 

Will do . . . many THANKS.

 

Picked up another win this weekend. The track usually isnt all that great so I will leave soft and hammer it about 1.7-1.9 into the run and still ran a personal best 1/8, 1/4, and mph. I'm never really happy with this shit box but it actually impressed me this week lol. She has the potential to be stupid fast. Huge shout out to all my friends and family that have my back.

Last Saturday I went to South Georgia Motorsports Park for Speed Addicts race. We were going to double enter into the street classes but I didn't have enough help to turn the car over between rounds. The classes were back to back and we normally get hot lapped in most cases. We entered Street X which was damn near run what you brung with a DOT tire. We came home with another WIN! I was hoping because we were at SGMP we would be able to send it and get some crazy numbers but the track wasn't there. Put in my old faithful super soft tune up and got the job done. I can't thank everyone envolved enough.

This Friday we are headed to PBIR in West Palm for another Quick 16 street car shoot out and Saturday on the opposite side of the state in Clearwater for a no prep race. Shadyside in North Carolina at the end of the month is up in the air. I'm exhuasted! lol Either way the motor is coming out for a freshen up some time this month.

Congrats Kurtis, nice to see you getting some work done!

 

Kurtis, do you use 130, 150 or 175 front springs? I'm getting ready to swap some out for a friend from his 200 lb 12" springs that don't give at all. All out drag tyrbo 4V similar to yours, just a milder build.

 

I run 12” 175lb. I’m 3400lb though.

 

Ok. I have some 175s laying in the shelf, he's getting a GT45 80R turbo swapped in so I think the extra spring will help.

 

Ya I almost swapped to a 200lb to calm the front end down some more.

 

Where do you gap your first and 2nd piston rings to?

 

Just read this whole post.... your car is amazing! Very impressed with your resilience and fab skills. It is truly impressive. Just wanted to say congrats and glad that all the hard work is paying off. Congratulations again!

 

I see that you're using a cobra short runner lower intake with a huge spacer and a holley hi-ram upper plenum. How is the air distribution from cylinder to cylinder ? I have a 10" short runner with stock upper and my plug reading is all over the place.

 

double post

 

Hey Kurtis, hope all is well man... saw you in Bradenton. Got any pics of the carnage?

 

Oh no....

 

I did not watch now that they are charging to stream .......

 

I seen some pics, he said he thought something happened to a sleeve took out the piston,head,rod it's not pretty I'm sure he will post.

 

Yup, piston went and oil got under the rear tire. Car isn’t too bad but engine is done. He’s selling the 4.6 stuff.
