Default Any F/I Running over 300-400hp w/7.5's!

If this Q was asked before, please don't beat me down to bad.

I'm trying to find the power cut off to how much the weak 7.5 will take.
I'm looking to see who is running and who is breaking at 300-400hp

Thanks,
Denny

If you mean hp, and not rwhp, then I am. I am running a bit more than 325hp with the 7.5
I know that scrming and droptop6 are running the 7.5 with about 340rwhp, and rygen and buckman both ran the 7.5 with close to 400rwhp

well i beleive droptop just blew his 7.5", rygen is now running an 8.8", i think buckman is too (not sure though i apologize if im wrong buckman)...did scrming ever switch over? If you can afford to go 8.8" go for it, it won't be that much more than building up the 7.5 and it will be stronger.

Droptop blew his 7.5 a couple of weeks back - there is a whole thread on it.

I'm still on the 7.5... no plan at this time to go to the 8.8. Interesting thing about droptop is he lost his pinion bearings... which happen to be the same bearing in the 8.8... hmmm...

I did mess my 7.5 up... but like droptop it was in the pinion (thing the crush sleeve got messed)... this was do to the 100/125 shot on the DRs... we switched from a crush sleeve to a solid spacer and things have been good... LOL

[sm=dontgetit.gif]Ok, I keep reading posts about "F/I". Not to sound totally stupid here, but doesn't that mean Fuel Injection??? Or did I completely miss something? If this is refering ot Fuel Injection, don't we all have that???
Sorry to sound like a idiot bimbo, but just not sure, sinceI have read post asking "who has F/I".
