been thrashing on car ......

bought a set of h beams to go with the KB hypers ( figuare rods be more forgiving)

should get 10.5 to 1 compression .
I have a viktor intake but could sell and get a tfs mafia if any gain could be had ? Trying to get most out of what i have for now but could sell intake i guess to get another one ..i dont know

heads are out of box eddy 75 cc .... going to get with someone to do a custom solid flat tappet cam to get the most of it.

550-575 hp is my goal

Should have kept the stock rods and bought better pistons. Can yhey last? Yes, so long as it never rattles and the ring gaps follow or exceed kb direction. Seen a handfull of hypers in the pan, because street warriors doing cheap added hose.

No nitrous being used ....fyi

kim October 1st 2015, 6:34 pm

NA combos detonate too... just less dramatically, usually.

5pointslow October 1st 2015, 6:45 pm

I agree ... I think i will be ok at this hp level and if i went with better pistons my luck id have rod failure ....i had the engine this pistons came out of and basicly over hauling it with a light hone . cylinders are near mint an mic up great

Build it, beat it, enjoy it.

Some times we kill ourselves with how can we make it bullet prof, only to spend 1000's and still have something we outgrow, blow up, or just get bored with.

We all sit back and tell you how you could have, should have, etc....... yet, every lap you make, is one you made without our enlightened input.

Build what you have, best of luck, and enjoy.

Looking for 10.00 to 10.50 to index race ....i really dont need a ton ...hell could use a small block if needed

gmsmkr October 1st 2015, 8:25 pm

Do you have the small block parts to make a 10sec build laying around?

No ...point was shouldn't take a ton of power at 2700-2800 lbs to go those times....... the eddy heads I have are cj cnc port openings to use to help the issue

I was getting at you have the parts to do a big block rock on with your plans...... it might just suprise you

Good luck have fun and keep us posted on how she does Cool

5pointslow October 2nd 2015, 2:42 pm

seems the bbf surprises a lot of people with simple combos , i could build a crazier engine but to slow it down for the class ...no need

turning 27 in a couple months and paying for a wedding currently out of pocket for spring .......should call this the WEDDING BUILD lol
so trying to use some things i already have and will spend some but didnt want to build a new engine from scratch .

finished redoing my house i bought last year ....been busier than ever .

could go crazier but local class is 10.50 index thats pretty big class .....should be simple combo to get to work

My thing is a finding a good starting point TIMING for this engine with hyper pistons , will use vp113 even with the compression at 10.7 to 1 ...i have use dto it before and have had good luck with it being consistant .

Thanks I appreciate it

I know of a offy port o sonic for Dommy ..... I have a viktor but thinkin of grabbing it locally for 100 $

Not sure if any gain up to 6500 rpm max vs viktor , will probably grab for money though

5pointslow October 4th 2015, 10:19 pm

Maybe only gain is stock hood with that Intake

Grab that intake now for a $100 dollars even if you don't use it, they are hard to come by and pretty good.

5pointslow October 4th 2015, 10:36 pm

Guy is local next town over ...i can grab this week . if i recall i have seen some have good results with them .
I know the viktor is good , maybe the port o sonic with the 1050 will be better for my rpm range . not sure but im grabbing it
