    stock pistons and such? as i thought the flat tappet 351's had cast pistons and the 351 roller motors had hyper pistons, maybe you or someone can tell me?

    thanx

    a hyper is still technically a cast piston. i really couldn't tell you what they are. i aint scared either way! last setup made 535 wheel with cast pistons...

    in my opinion its all in the tune...

    It runs as of tonight! Need to bolt the front end back on and figure out why the alternator isn't charging...but after that I will be ready for some tuning!

    Congrats on the fire up.

    As for the charging .. check simple things first. Connections, grounds, pinched wire.

    Been playing with the car and was able to make one shakedown pass last weekend. It went 11.44@126 launching on no boost. Max boost was 18psi and timing was 15 deg at peak torque. It was about 90 deg outside.

    Overall I'm very happy with the perfomance for a first pass considering this thing has E7 heads and a stock flat tappet truck cam.

    A couple of burnout vids from a small town in Iowa! I forgot to shut down by the end of the last pair of cones. :cheers:

    I hope to get back to the track in the next few weeks. Its been in the mid to high 90's here...which is to hot for this guy.

    Cool!!

    Looks like the stock 351 is holding up good so far, how much boost have you thrown at it so far?
