Thats right...
We have just broken RAT history again and have exceeded our expectations on the very first pull from a recently developed 2056 combo using a cam that was developed in 2006 and a set of off the shelf LE 200 heads! This engine was originally going to be equipped with our roller lifters, but due to continued challenges we had to scratch the rollers and apply conventional lifters to the engine. The power we have made with this engine using the conventional lifters is basically the same or just a tad more than we were looking for with the rollers, so I am VERY happy. The graph posted below is from the engine's VERY FIRST pull and we know this combo has more potential that will be found in tuning alone as we continue to understand how the combination functions. Now, the most amazing part of this is the fact that this engine absolutely annihilates the best 2270 combos from 2-3 years ago in every way! It makes just as much torque, and more HP that our 9:1 Performer 2270 did in 2006! Last week Charles from LN engineering came down for another round of oil testing and we used this engine for the analysis. After testing 11 oils we decided to pull the heads back off the engine to see if Len can find even more power. We'll have the heads back this week and will get more results. I honestly expect 190 HP from this engine with the changes Len will make and the CR we plan on adding. At 9:1 this engine would run easily on 89 octane and based on the timing settings the engine liked it will love 9.5-9.8:1 CR You can view a short video we threw together from the oil testing on youtube here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYV8OD8Ohlg&feature=user This one is just days away from being added to my turn key engine catalog... This may be the best cost/HP engine we have ever created and it still has great torque! |

Well then, you won't get an order from me. I have seen posts about deposits being made and then the buyer going WTF???? later when the final bill came due and then bailing out....
I've been around long enough and I'm not afraid of sticker shock....I've even bought a Harry (The Maestro) Pellow motor back when he was alive. He wasn't cheap but I got an answer when I asked how much. Same with FAT in CA when I was back in High School and a few other Type I builders. I've also seen AND met the other, darker side of the business....Mark Stephens.....yer buddy Stromberg...and more than a few others.... Again...just my observation and not a knock on the final product you sell. If Navarro is involved it's a gotta be quality product.....but I wants to know up front what the bill is. |
