HardcoreB- slippery slope! Then we have to pick out a tunnel ram.


Prosport- I know it seems kind of weird being a heavy street car but I wanted to build a higher rpm engine and run short gearing. I think it's a lot of fun. That's why I kept the 3.75 crank.

I had an idea of how I wanted to get there but I was using performance trends engine analyzer as well.

It was calculating peak hp at 7000-7500 and I thought maybe it wouldn't quite get there with an air cleaner and full exhaust but it did, making peak power at 7200-7500.

So it could probably use a higher shift point than 7750 but I don't think I want to push my luck with steel valves . (though I did pay a lot of attention to weight on the valve side in terms of valve weight, small diameter valve springs and Ti locks/retainers)

BigFish69- Thanks!
