2018 Royal Crimson F1A94 Procharged, TH400 Drag Project

That’s awesome man! Are you going to back off on the power a bit to help it last until you get your built motor ready? You can still get your NHRA license and work on your sixty and reaction times, to stay sharp and ready for when the built motor goes in.

I was thinking of upping boost. Send it!

Just kidding... Yes, going to move to the largest pulley that will fit on the setup, which i believe will be a 4.88. I have a 4.50 now. Going to back down on timing, too. If I can get the car together, get my licensing runs done - that'll be a win for the season.

Huge thanks to @80FoxCoupe for the innovation to begin with and then sharing it with the world. I sent him my Procharger crank support mandrel and he had it machined and a half inch drive added to the top. Much appreciated, sir!

Are you planning on any additional mods to the stock long block? Ie, oil pump gears etc…
I’m pretty much in the same boat right now and will be ordering a factory long block this week. I’m going to do the opg’s & ts for sure, but I’m also considering gt350 primary chains and boss tensioners. I’m just not sure if they are so much better than the stock components. I’m also considering the mmr cooling mod. Just looking to keep this thin alive as long as possible.

although a good plan. Where would one find studs at this time? Seems like no one wants to sell

I probably won’t do head studs. I just feel weird about trying to do them one at a time. Like it could potentially disturb the head gasket seal.

I don't think I'm going to do a lick to the engine. Bounce it in the car and go for the rest of summer.

Planning to get a new damper hub from ATI and have them hone it for the tolerances of the crank I get in the long block. I'll need to get a good mic. They'll do it for $40. I'm going to add the Crank Saver Stud instead of the bolt I used (although I had no issues). Add new flex plate bolts, too.

Larger procharger pulley and belt, tone down the timing. Let'er eat off the footbrake.
