Morning,
Just had engine spun up. Hopefully footage works. Excitable fella is the tuner as we had money on the horsepower figure.
Not working… I’ll email to you Gary. Hopefully you have more luck.

Not going through Gary. Have you changed your Cadgile email address lately? Here’s the dyno sheet anyhow. Can’t seem to upload even with bucket

October 16, 2015 at 7:14 am #10156Thanks Kroozer. I’ve got a few things to sort out, but will start a build thread when I’m done.

Posts: 535Sounds good indeed, but only 50psi oil pressure at 7500rpm?
October 18, 2015 at 6:47 am #10218It’s been an on-going project over the past few years Gary. I do most things, didn’t touch the motor this time round though. I went up to 13.4:1 comp and had lifter sleeves bronze bushed. A few oiling mods in there too,
Immortality, I’m using a standard (but modified) oil pump. The high volume pump chewed the gear on oil drive. I’ll try this for a bit. Still getting near 30 Psi at idle, hot after cruising. I still have a modified high vol pump, but oil pressure is good enough at the moment.
GMH 304, it’s a 396 Stroker.
October 18, 2015 at 8:59 am #10222Oil FLOW is more important then pressure. If it’s done right it will be fine.
Good stuff. I can’t open the photos. What power and torque did it make?

</del>
667.7 hp At 7300rpm
its still 667.6 at 7500rpm
nice stuff man, so that’s on e85 is it ?

October 18, 2015 at 9:32 am #10228Cheers Pete
Good power got any more specs?
October 18, 2015 at 10:02 am #10230Yeah, it’s on E85. Engine is pretty much the same as it was. Changed ring pack and bearings, went for a Crane 88341 with Ultra Pro lifters, and upped compression. Had a few oiling mods done. A full length windage tray fitted also. Other than that, it’s the same engine. I’ve had breathing issues that gummed valves and took away 150ish hp and the Comp Cam and lifters were shit. Had a couple of other issues, but don’t want to air them as it might upset some big companies.
I was happy with the numbers, but that’s all they are really, numbers on a screen. I’ll see what it does on the 1/4. I’m hoping to get to Calder Friday night to see what it can do. Cars are getting pretty insane now. Just look at the times those two Fords are running in True Street.
Anyway, talking shit now. Spewing you got rid of your NA combo (and car actually) Cava. It got knocked off recently yeah?
October 18, 2015 at 10:19 am #10232Yeah man I sold it to a bloke in Sydney. And it got punched off him within a month. I’ve got the new VR on the go atm
what were the other issues? Major

October 18, 2015 at 11:13 am #10234Not really major issues mate, just expensive. Had to get manifold runners built up on one side and removed on the other. I will put some pictures up soon. You’ll see the gasket has been cut to match exact head port size, you’ll see the work that went into aligning it. But, awesome manifold when aligned.
I was using dirty old Try Y’s inch and 3/4 primaries. Got a set of 4 into 1’s, lost 30hp and 13lbft. Yeap, totally understand loosing a bit of torque but 30hp? Claimed 12 to 15 REAR wheel kW gain…. Also peak power made lower in rev range than the Try Y’s. Anyway, left the Try Y’s on.
Just a pity manufacturer wanted zero to do with it. Sounded ALOT better with the 4 into 1’s though. My engine just didn’t like them for some reason. Sold them yesterday. Lost a few hundred.

October 18, 2015 at 11:28 am #10237<p style=”text-align: left;”>Bigger isn’t always better. To many people get caught up in that hype.</p>
October 18, 2015 at 11:50 am #10239pipes can have big affects on engines and where there torque is and so on
maybe the lengths of primary’s on 4 into 1 where completely wrong for where your power is in rpm range and the try Y just have a much better scavenge affect at the rpm for you
where they both 1 3/4 ?
I was quite worried when building myn that they wouldn’t perform well but despite all odds I picked up 200rwnm down at 2600rpm where myn should have very little torque and making same power but with 7 degrees less timing and 5psi less boost (same cfm of air flow though)
