i don't agree. known configurations didn't start out that way. i'm sorry but i don't think you should only do something if someone holds your hand. Do your research and make smart choices but you don't necessarily have to follow behind everyone else. i guess some people are leaders and some followers.
That's not exactly what I meant. If someone has already tested product x at 1k+, and there is data to do research, then dive in and take it further. However, if you are going into uncharted territory then take smaller steps. More learn from others and expand or be smart and don't jump off a cliff on the first go.
I think you meant to say dragy racers, not drag racers.I understand your point, but my post is targeted to those that typically ask the question, āhow much will the stock motor hold?ā, because they are trying to build a drag car with the most power output that their car will handle.
Of course there are other applications that arenāt drag racing related, but usually those applications arenāt at risk of blowing the motor because they are maximizing power output for the length of a drag race.
The point of my post was to essentially inform, drag racers specifically, that they are capable of squeezing more out of their car than they realize, if they just take a few extra precautions. Precautions that arenāt really game changing or unreasonable, just responsible forms of car management.
Of course the stock motor wonāt handle 22+ psi during a 30 minute COTA session
I hope no one thought that I meant that it would lol
Yes there is a list of asterisks, but theyāre not difficult to fulfill, and doing them can help achieve the goals that my intended target audience may have. For example, if theyāre unable to achieve that 8 second pass, or they canāt beat their friends zr1, or they canāt get their 1000whp dyno graph, frequently the issue is the mindset of āoh I canāt exceed this boost/power level because itāll blow upā. Iām trying to mitigate that by showing them, āno it actually wonāt blow up if you turn it up, just be responsible about itā.
If those dragy times were taken while racing someone, does that mean Iām a dragy drag racer?
I've done quite a few hits at 15psi and it was fine. Did only 1 dyno pull and 1 hit on the street at 16psi and it wasn't happy lol. Throwing studs and springs and a few other things in there now though so hopefully I can live in the 16-19 range at least for a while.
Should do fine
. Might check your heads while they're off
Yeah the plan is to get them resurfaced/ported and slap it back together with some cams in the coming weeksShould do fine
