420.4 cubic inches of pure sillyness
 

Just a heads-up, in less than 24 hours you'll all be seeing pictures of my engine finished. I've been waiting 5 weeks, and living in NH, this is about the most exciting thing next to Wal-mart and NASCAR weekends. I'll have all the specs and pics tomorrow :thumbsup:

Good to hear my man...look forward to some pictures. Getting it dynoed??

Dyno time comes at the end of next week, I held off while shopping for a new daily driver, got one now though :thumbsup: are you still using AIM? I haven't seen you on lately... :question:

What are the specs on the motor?

I am on Spring Break, if I go on AIM it consumers my life...I try to stay away from it, and get work done. Being on here is bad enough lol. Once I get back at school I'll give you a buzz on there.

Can't wait to see the pics :)

Kick down with the specs :unibrow:

haha, I'll post the specs as soon as I get the pictures up tomorrow guys, I promise. As for right now, I'm looking at 600-625 hp normally, and max of 950 hp on nitrous, i'll have all sorts of dyno sheets and videos if Scott would like to post by the end of next week :D

Of course! :yes:

Hmmm... how do I put this...


mega dissapointment this afternoon, not only was my engine NOT complete, some of the things I asked him to put on the engine (such as the comp cams 3-piece timing cover instead of a cheapo 30 dollar steel one) weren't adressed :( Chad's a great guy though, he said he'll toss the timing cover in for free since everythings been such hell, which is incredibly nice of him. The other thing was that my heads didn't flow as much as I had thought they would, I was expecting in the 280-290 cfm range, maybe kissing 300 if I were lucky, but all they could muster was a paltry 260 cfm :( so my estimates on power are now 550~ and 575~.

Oh well though, the dyno time is set for tuesday or wednesday night, I'm bringing a 12 pack for the event, and if I see anything above 575 horsepower, I'll pretty much crap myself. BUT, this should only be temporary, and I'm shopping right now for a set of bare CNC'd 220 AFR's :)
