32378, New Block going in tommorrow
Posted by Nitrous_RS1997, Oct-08-02 04:43 AM
Well, got the engine out of the car last night, and will be putting in the new 10.5:1 compression block sometime tommorrow. Went with Wiseco Pistons and Eagle Rods. shooting for 12psi daily, and 15-17 psi at the track. we will see what happens... :-) may not stay with the motor, but we wanted to see what we could do with it, and what times we could get outta it. ill be keeping my current block also(sorry guys!), just in case we grenade this one or decide to switch back.

Cool man. I'm just getting around to fortifying my first block right now :) . I was looking at the wiseco pistons before, too. I've used alot of them in different 4 wheelers and dirtbikes over the years. They make some good stuff.

Keep us updated on that high compression and boost setup. It'll be interesting to see how ti turns out.

Ahhh shit.....can you run slicks yet on that thing? Cuz if you can, I smell 11's in your near future :) Good luck with the new block Anthony, and take your time tuning it!

Thanks Strauss. i do believe slicks are in the near future... :-) looks like you need em too. the engine is just about ready. we havent been able to work on it as much today as we wanted, but its coming along nicely.

since your doing the route i considered doing, i might suggest you get a msd dis-2 programmable with the boost retard to help with the tuning with the higer compression.. :-)
