Starting to gather engine parts finally. My new job slowed me down some but i am starting to gather parts slowly. Big thanks goes out to Ed for donating a set of pistons to my build. I ordered Hamilton valve springs sunday afternoon. Already have ARP head studs from Tim Jackson that I bought back in May. The next purchase will be rods and gaskets+ injector tips and machine work.
wow i just now looked at the pics, i am impressed:thumb: nice donation ed
Not so much a donation, but returning the favor for some help of the years.:thumb:
I would say around 720ish to the wheels. I ran 3 times at NTR in may. I went 12.35 with a 1.67 short time. Went 12.15 with a 2.02 short time. Went 11.94 with a 1.86 short time. The trans shifted shitty the first two passes but was picking up alot every pass. The 4.56 gears wouldn't let me trap no more than 113 everytime i ran the past two years. The valves would float really bad going through the traps. I had a 475 turbo with dual pumps and water meth when i hurt it on the 11.94 pass. The truck smoked like crazy at a idle after it cooled down from the last pass. Truck only has 49,000 miles And weights 7,100 pounds.
Nope, Stock cam and heads are going back on. I should have my hamilton valve springs this week. If trent and Camomax can run low 10's and high 9's with stock heads and cam i think i will be fine :thumb: Ported heads don't do much in a force induction app when the stock casting isn't poor like a cummins head and your running stock sized valves. IMHO its a waste of money to port a head and not get bigger valves or cam. Your not opening the valves longer or having a bigger valve to push the air through so its still going to flow as much as the cam and valve will let it.
Just a little update on my engine build if anyone cares:hug: I have recently ordered rods, gaskets, balancer from Henry.
Eric wife said we got mail from you today so she will be at the bank tomorrow. As stated I think he got my check:thumb: Even know ill have to save up alittle for machine work i am that much closer to the truck rolling again lol. Alls i need to do is pay for machine work, injector work and a good engine builder :angel: Thanks to all thats been a part of this build and wish me luck this sunday and looking at a new truck in the garage:spit:
