Subject: Re: Interesring article on fluid dynamics and airflow by dan0617 on 2008/11/22 22:30:59 Sad part for me is that my choices are usually narrowed down to finding this or that part used, then seeing what used parts are available that will match the used parts I already have and still give me the most power and make me happy with street manners. This time I'm slightly better off, bought a used 383 shortblock with cam already installed (happens to be the cam I wanted!) and forged pistons to hopefully survive a 200 shot for a few years. I could actually afford a new flexplate, balance plate, balancer, vari-duration lifters to help the street manners, used rockers, and am reusing the used converter, used intake, used distributor, used ignition box, etc, etc, etc. The part where I'm better off is I have saved up the cabbage to buy a brand new set of heads!! Going with 11:1 static compression, .035 quinch (.015 gasket and pistons are .020 in the hole), likely 195 CC intake runner heads. Leaning strongly towards the AFR street ports as the comp ports and many other brands have 1206 gasket size where that won't work with my HSR and I can't afford to swap intakes AGAIN! Mind isn't 100% made up yet. |
