Bob Kurgan Tuned The Rnh 363 (again)

Grover would mind telling what your combo is? Cyl heads, intake, transmission, etc? If nothing else PM me if you don't mind sharing. Doing what you are is my long term goal, and a Dart based engine was in the plan. Another wolf in sheep's clothing as David put it.. A proven recipe would be much appreciated, there are a few local Chevy guys over here with high hp set-ups that need some humility..lol.

 

[GroverDill]

My combo is really nothing special.

Rick built the longblock
Dart IE 363 0 balanced and blueprinted
Super Vic intake with 6061.com elbow
AFR 205
T&D shaft rockers
Jay Allen custom cam
120# trick flow injectors
BS3 stand alone ( so no MAF)
76 GTS Precision turbo (journal bearing and 3" downpipe)
Custom hot and cold side for the turbo set up, flipped 1 3/4" flipped headers for the hotside.
Viper T56 with a Spec Stage3+ clutch (single disk)
Weldon 2035 fuel pump ( loud and way overkill )
Weldon fuel pump controller ( see above )
-12 feed -8 return
built 8.8 with 3.27's

MM suspension K-member, a-arms, coil overs ( front/rear ) HD-T/A, Panhard bar, LCA's
Brembo's
True Forged 3 piece Victory's
Recaro's

ALL Stock!

Nice. Is that Jay Allen cam solid roller? I'm assuming so since you went with shaft style rockers..

I've got my rear end built, but opted for the tko 600 instead.. wondering if I should have gone t-56.. Oh, well. at least I won't break it.

 

[GroverDill]

The cam is a small hydro roller.

 

[Boosted92LX]

WOW! That is small.. lol! Amazing, I never would have guessed! Says a lot for turbos, doesn't it?

 

[GroverDill]

Yup, the entire combo was planned befor the cam was spec'd

954 rwhp at 6k is just silly. I dont rev it but to 6200

Being from Post Falls, I noticed your car has Kootenai County license plates on it. Is it from this area?

 

[GroverDill]

short answer is no.

Grover,

I love your car. Hands down one of the nicest foxes Ive ever seen. But seriously, I have loads of trouble getting my measly 460 whp to the ground. With twice that power on tap, I know it has to be nearly impossible. Did you plan on ever getting it all down or was it built just because? Just curious is all.

Im guessing his torque arm set up helps tremendously over a standard setup with aftermarket parts.

 

[Noobz347]

Torque arm??? Please post pics of it. I've seen the stock photos at MM but haven't seen any other application pics.

Oh... A going down the road video would be sweet too!


Edit: Oh... and how do you get away with running that beast on CA roads?

 

[GroverDill]

The torque arm helps as do the 295 drag radials but if driven aggressively the tires and suspension can only do so much, so yes there is a lot of wheel spin but that is half the fun.

 

[hoopty5.0]

Oh I'd giggle like a 5 year old at a petting zoo.

 

[GroverDill]

here is about the best shot of the MM HD torque arm

I'd take stock suspension over a torque arm set up.

It's official... you're retarded.

 

[89stang1]

wow congrats sick numbers bro!! I love your car even if it only made half that hp lol I never get tired of seeing your engine bay .... I had a similiar 100 mile monsoon rain the whole drive home from American Muscle car show in PA last year with billet deletes for wipers was an adventure! .....btw i do have a bigger cam in my car

 

[srtthis]

It's official... you're retarded.

far from it... a torque arm is basicly a single center ladder bar set up. where as the stock suspension is a 4 link set up. there is enought stuff in the aftermarket to make the trianglelated 4 link a parallel 4 link and mark it work VERY VERY well. if i was going to build it to handle better id go to a 3 link set up (think 2005+) that has better articulation then our 4 bar set up and then you can still adjust the instant center like you would with our set up. a torque arm set up like a ladder bar your limited to a fixed instant center which SUCKS!

The torque arm is also a 3-link setup. There seem to be awful lot of road coarse racers out there who are extremely happy with this torque arm.
