It’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.

Just a bakers dozen short.

Will say this beast makes me want to call the guys building my engine Monday to go more comp and solid roller instead of hyd roller

Do it mate! Got one proper run in last night.  I’ll post video if I can and details when I get a chance.

And how did it feel/go?

It felt ok Gary.  Because the motor is only a couple of weeks in, I pulled timing back to 28 capped the rpm at 7000 and stupidly forgot to screw up the engine vac pump.  Ran 10.3 at 131 mph.  1.50 for the 60ft.  6.60 to 1/8 mile.  That run was during the day.  Track was very good, had 20psi in rears.

Went out for a second. Ran around 9:30pm, went a bit more aggressive on the set up, had timing set at 31, limited the rpm at 7400, vac pump on this time….. same set up as where peak power was made on the engine dyno.  Should have dropped tyre pressures but didn’t.  Spun tyres in first and second.  Didn’t look at the time slip, but I think it was high 12’s.

So out of two runs, only one decent run.  It was a pretty busy night as Jamboree cars were doing a bit of testing. But engine felt ok.  I think if I got a chance to play with timing, actually change a jet size or 2, I should be in the low 10’s.  Not sure if I will crack the 9’s though.

Will do.  I’ve emailed some footage of the run. (If you can be bothered of course, until I work out why not loading)
