And...
No one has mentioned that the baby 3.27" stroke crankshaft IS the ticket to higher RPM. Its only problem is its lack of low-end torque! It can STILL make north of 300lbs./ft above 2500 RPM. It just can't make 500+ like many Gen 3 and up do. So, it's best used in a light car with high RPM gearing... I wonder where we can find such a car? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ninja.gif) I don't think the stock crank could take it but if I was building a short stroke (modern) GM V8 I'd be hunting an 8500 redline. Stock crank would be 7500... Car looks KILLER. Got a bit of "Mad Max" going on there! |

agreed but big torque in our little cars ... is bit beyond me. infact i did cam it to move the graph to the right. even at 300 ft lbs 325 hp it's going to be a handful. I have short driving time as of yet but trying to figure out what gear ur in is a little tuff. it just pulls in all

She lives..... long time build. Lately I had a couple of bugs and finally sent to a tunning shop to go through and clean up. Had misses, 02issues among others.
hub dyno'd at 300/280. No stall coming into idle smooth running. next up is a alignment and new tires. Some fool bought tires like 15 years ago thinking he could finish the build quickly!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Went to a little car show and won MOST UNIQUE. go figure A very nice jake raby engined 914 won best Porsche!! Clean sweep. Two 914s present two awards.. More driving and more finding whats falling off due to the very long build!  |
