How much you putting through yours? im at 690 on motor and spraying on top of that. Block is 60 over, not filled, studs, stock caps. Havent seen any signs of an issue, around 20 hits so far. mostly stock 727 never been in it, but has valve body and deep pan. stock a body 8 3/4 housing, spool and 30 spline More details PLEASE. That sucker must be flying with 690 PLUS the hit.

Just stop. Both of you. This is not going to end well.
My 25 year old X block with studded 4 bolts caps is unbreakable....I hope.

what do you make at the flywheel? Would like to compare combos 40 years of racing and I never dynoed an engine. I'm guessing a hair over 500 give or take a few. I hope to step up to a roller cam over the winter to pick up a few more.

I heard X blocks were not that good? Are they? I don't know, it was in the car when I got it, and it hasn't broke yet. I'm afraid to hit with as much nitrous as I've sprayed on stock 440 blocks though. Numbers dont lie lets see a et slip that will tell us how much power you are really making
Numbers lie...I can just be like everyone else and claim my car is 400 lbs heavier than it really is!! Everything behind your motor is a time bomb, get rid of the 30 spline asap, I broke that, now I'm tearing up 35 spline spools until 9" money this winter
You're doing it wrong...what 60 foots at what weight? Dead hooking a radial? Ok, keyboard experts: 3095 lbs. on the scale at Norwalk, made this pass at National Trails, don't have DA or weather data. What was I making at the tire? What was I making at the flywheel? When will the block break? When will the 904 break? Where can I find two more tenths?

What's it weigh? MPH?
When you do see signs of an issue, it won't be subtle.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
