What ever is closest to 1:1. 4th is for manual vehicles.

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Looking good. Where you drawing you vac line for the pump? Valley?

 

Whats that black thing in the oil hole on drivers side cover?

Its looking mint.

Nice. Will be interesting setup. That’s for sure.

Wilwoods are rubbish.

 

You should buy my brakes. So you can fund my wilwoods….

Polish those rails and do a -8 cross over. Will make them look magic.

So u can paint you say……..

You in good hands with Matt Smoores.

 

Why dont u want to cut it? Just the inner wheel arches. That’s all.

That’s plan B. I persist with these a bit longer. I’ll get them in eventually lol

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Dunno tbh is like to say early next year. There isn’t a lot to do but there is. If you get the drift.

Finding the time is hard. It’s not like the first VR where I could stay in the garage from 4-12 after work.

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Normally 4th. Gives a more accurate reading as its 1:1

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Why was the power run done in 2nd?

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

They are known to split down the bores between cyclinders.

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Its very much each to own I suppose.

I simply like the ease of A2A, once cooler is on that’s it is done. Meth you have to constantly mix a solution, make sure it’s topped up etc. always have it on hand for big drive etc etc.

It’s more a track orientated thing IMO. Which lets be honest is the only place your going to care about MAX effort HP.

Ive looked into water/meth but I’ll wait to see how my IAT’s are before I jump on board with it.

Change the rack ends before u change the rack.

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

4.8 and 5.3 are different to the 5.7. Biggest change the block material obviously. The ring gap would of made a massive difference

LSX are rated to 2000hp depending on the cubic inch. 454 the walls are getting thinner. Generally the big power boosted vehicles are around 408cube.

 

its one thing to make the power. Another thing to keep it together.

You don’t have to cut the bay to run a cooler…

 

Id personally go e85 and cooler over meth.

Bananas biggest flaw with boost is head soak. i wouldnt go anything less then a cooler.

Wouldnt running meth injection cure some of the heat soak issue?

 

It won’t cure heat soak but will help with IAT.

Cooler is your best bet.

Drive with hand brake up. LOL

Extrude honing is pretty pricey from memory about $900ish for bananas.

Stock banana’s will make 6-700hp boosted.

Az was running 9’s in his VL 355/T banana manifold.

Marzella on this forum should be on target for the same power.
