ha! when this is over i am through playing with
my engine. i really hope this is a one time deal.




it would be more interesting to watch paint dry, i might
be the slowest DIY'er alive.

 

Just cut out large portions of video and speed the rest up 50x.

 

I know that feeling. I would be willing to wager that within a month of completing this project you will be examining head porting, cam profiles, and springs that allow more valve lift. What do you want to put on it?

 

He should be the same or more. A built engine can withstand a little more timing than a stocker.

 

just a gentleman's bet, cause seriouly i don't
plan on going for big power anytime soon. i might
put a 12psi pulley on this summer, but that will be it for
awhile.

 

go big or go home!

seriously tho, why would you put a built motor in with low compression and not run 15+ psi?

 

you do make a good point Stkjock. we'll
see, maybe the power bug will wear me
down sooner than i think.

 

Quit reading my mind Stk

 

Maybe for insurance against catastrophic failure. Plenty of build motors have blown while pushing the edge.

 

yes I know, but a built motor up to 17-18 psi on pump, if built properly is a non-issue IMHO. If you're running 12 might as well stay on the stock block, heck and some race fuel and kick up your timing for the track and your deep 11s easy. my .02

If I keep my car and do a built build 18psi on pump 24/7/365 and 20+ on race!
