I think the blown alcohol motors are spun up to and over11,500 RPM I do know a former PSCA 10.5 outlaw racer that replaced the rods and pistons every 30 runs or so, I'm thinking he would never tell me the truth about where he shifted that BAE billet hemi motor The engine builder did slip once when I said something about shifting one of those motors near 10,000 RPM, he indicated that they shifted that motor over that, probably nearer 11,500 RPM

Brand new B-Body resonators - made in the USA. The ones pictured are 2.5" ID in/out, with 2.5" internal flowpath (also available in 2.25" version). These are built just like OE with aluminized construction & spun-locked heads. They are 4" round body diameter & 16" L bodies. As you can see, these are straight-through & non restrictive. They are Helmholtz tuner type resonators that knock-out some high frequencies. $75.00/ea. plus shipping.
Here's a pair of these with shorty Bazooka tips connected to them:
So Dart 500 how does this reply vindicate the H6? You are saying there are ZERO issues with the Hurricane 6? The Stellantis techs- who nick named it the Shi#@ Storm and are making videos about how bad it is- they are not being truthful? And you and I will agree- when an item is desirable and provides great value to a consumer that item enjoys robust healthy sales. Why then are the H6 Rams and another one of your admired cars- the Electric Charger rotting on dealer Lots?
It went on a drag and drive getting beaten on all week running 10's in stock form
I restored this car some time agao. Was a local car for years. All numbers match, build sheet and fender tag. Auto with factory A/C. Car had very little sheet metal repairs. Restored back to factory colors and could barly get $27,000 for it when I sold it. It blows my mind as everything was so nice when I was done. I think the color kinda held it back on value. Wish I had kept it.
I just don't understand why so many " Mopar guys" .. don't like factory yellow or green Chrysler/Plymouth/ Dodge vehicles?? Mopar had some great color choices for green and yellow and for that matter, bronze or brown, back then IMO. Yeah I know, " those colors are too girly or too ugly"... especially about yellow cars. But not everyone likes Go Mango, or In Violet.
I'd rather have the '92 B van I posted earlier this week. It runs well, has a magnum 360, with a bunch of new parts already installed.... Working A/C, and brand new tires to boot, and oh yeah... only $1,800 OBO.
I guess there is nobody here, on this website, that appreciates good rock music... especially from someone, like John Sykes, who was regarded in his industry, as a truly great musician.
I mentioned him on Jan 22, right after announcement of his death.

My apologies to you sir, I didn't see your post apparently.
Cavitation is very unlikely to occur in the pressurized side (downstream) of pump, and “excess” flow encountering restrictions would further increase the pressure, which would make cavitation even less likely…..
Based on what exactly? Boats experience cavitation all the time with say 8' of head (11 psi?) and at low speeds. Not sure that is a fair comparison, but it is one. The main point I am making, we don't precisely know I suspect.
Where does it occur? On the front of the propeller is most likely. Inside the cooling system of an engine, the inlet portion of the impeller is the most likely part to experience cavitation.
I agree, and I suspect a lot of testing takes place to determine if a cavitation problem exists and how to reduce it. But restating my point, does that same effort get applied internally of a head for example, even if it's a less likely source?
I'm looking to see if the roller , because of its faster ramp, needs a different spec? I guess I'm looking to find out if the roller will make more power with a similar cam profile.
What specs are you referring too? Adv duration, 0.050 duration, 0.200 duration and max lift?
If all those Specs are the same between the two cams, the lobes will not be faster, and the power will be the same.
The narrower lobes wouldn't concern me too much, a flat tappet only runs on a small area of the lobe. But I'd still speak to my cam grinder obviously, they're the experts.
I noticed in the latest Summit catalog that several lifter brands are advertised as made in USA, but the prices are far too cheap making that claim pretty suspect. I mean China would not be making engine camshafts and lifters for themselves for no good reason so you'd have to be crazy not to think some of this isn't making it's way over here and being reboxed. There are even Chinese counterfeits of Japanese brand bicycle chains out there now that is how far this has come to.
I just unplugged the connector under the seats on my 74 Challenger to disable the interlock. That has worked since the car was new. That was one of the first mods I did to it.
You're welcome; I'm happy to help, that's why most of us are here, right ? My '69 is an original, very-low-mileage car, stock except ignition & engine internals, and known history since new, so it's a great reference if you need more info.
