CHRISTMAS GIFT TO MYSELF!

CHRISTMAS GIFT TO MYSELF! - 12/23/11 11:28 PM

Not really!....just coincided with the Christmas season! I finally scraped up enough money to have my Edelbrock RPM's ported..and milled for a compression increase of 1 point..10:1 to 11:1. Might just get me into the 10's next season! I'd like to publicly thank Jeff at Modern, for the cnc work, and cutting them not only once...but twice(my over-sight)for the correct chamber volumes! Thank You for your patience,Jeff! He also milled the intake manifold to match the head cut. As is the norm for Jeff's work...impeccable craftsmanship! I hope you all have a GREAT holiday season...and healthy,prosperous New Year! Randy B.

Thanks,everybody! ...Dougie,you're right!..I'll be busy with motor "stuff"! I have to re-ring the Diamond's...too much oil residue on the valves and piston tops! I'm also sending some engine pieces to QC for some powder coating,and headers will be ceramic-coated. Dom..flow sheet reads(@28")221cfm-I..159cfm-E @ .300 lift. 316cfm-I..220-E @ .600 lift...and 322/223 @ .650 lift. Lindsay,I got them back in 2 weeks! Eddie,look forward to that! Yeah,Ron...2012 SHOULD be my "breakout" year...as 2011 was for the Lions! Randy..next event: wine bottling party,next wednesday night in New Baltimore..then a Diamond "re-ringing party" soon enough! Thanks,Kenny..Rick!...Gus..."strokin'" will definately be in the future...if this 440 ever decides to let go! Raff..I can picture a Dana in my future! Thanks for all the kind words!...but,Jeff deserves the credit for these jewels!

Those look very nice,Randy! I hope you meet your goal!

Re: CHRISTMAS GIFT TO MYSELF! - 12/24/11 04:34 PM

Thanks,Dom!...Teddy,I'm thinkin'.... when I get the tune dialed in for the added air flow,and increase in compression...10's should be VERY attainable!
Posted By: Thumperdart

Re: CHRISTMAS GIFT TO MYSELF! - 12/24/11 04:42 PM

Yep, then it`s 10.50`s then 20`s then 9.99............ah yes, the fun never stops just the money does.
Posted By: Labratt

Re: CHRISTMAS GIFT TO MYSELF! - 12/24/11 04:51 PM

Dom...I'd say my budget stops at 10.999!...with a fresh paint job and replacing/refurbishing ALL the stainless trim that comes on the GTX's!!...NOT CHEAP! Trust me..10.90's and a NEW GTX...I will be a HAPPY CAMPER!

Re: CHRISTMAS GIFT TO MYSELF! - 12/24/11 04:54 PM

As you should be............. That`s why I wont paint my ugly heap because that money could make me faster which to me is cool especially when some people think my car is an 11-second ride.

Ultimate "Sleeper"!!!
Posted By: Thumperdart

Re: CHRISTMAS GIFT TO MYSELF! - 12/24/11 07:36 PM

It`s a sleeper till I start it............then the 275-280 duration @ .050 kicks in and it`s over.

Re: CHRISTMAS GIFT TO MYSELF! - 12/24/11 07:47 PM

Thus justifying the name "ThumperDart"!!!

You wont be dissapointed Randy, the swap from mild port big valve 346 heads and a torker manifold, to Jeff's RPM'S cut.050 and a victor manifold dropped my car over .6 and picked up 6mph.
Merry xmas to everyone on here from robin hood country.
