What debate? I've never heard an argument for a low compression nitrous motor. Not that I'm suggesting you do it, but I knew a guy who had a 13:1 355 Chevy that ran pump gas with spray.
93 351 cid winsor REDUCED PRICE I dunno why everyone is so afraid of going 351. theres a motor for 200 bucks, still can use a roller cam, rebuild it use those afr 185's and you will smoke the 300 rwhp goal. Im not trying to push my opinions on you, just trying to get you to think outside of the box. the motor you described building will be fun on the spray, but i'd guess its gonna be a little lazy off the bottle. An 11:1 357w could go low 11's no problem on motor. I'm just saying this cause i wish someone would have told me that a 351 block could support 700-800 hp, and make the power/torque easier/cheaper. It would have saved me alot of time and money, and I would have been making more power. Once you get used to the HCI package your gonna want more. and there is only so much power that can be milked out of a 302
+1000 if i hadnt got such a great deal on my Dart block it would have been nice to know and i could have spent the money that i spent on my 347 towards a 408 or 427 NA engine and made 600hp easy
not using the stock pistons because ill most likely be going .030 over (its a 100k + mile block) in the clean up process anyways. and yes im absolutely using forged pistons. just not sure what brand or what type yet. probably gonna go with the tfs 2 cam. comp. will be 10.5 at the most. i want it to be a fun car on the spray but be able to handle a pretty decent shot on the bottle. ill be building it myself and will be measuring out EVERYTHING (im pretty OCD when it comes to my own stuff) been doing a lot of reading and ended up putting together a list of parts last night. any of this sound mismatched? 302 Rebuild Kit w/ oil pump AFR 185 60cc pedestal mount Holley Systemax tfs stage 2 Forged pistons (not sure on brand or type) 1.7 RRs pedestal C&L 76 mm MAF 30# injectors 255 pump/ regulator going to end up with a new clutch and 3.73s as well
Sorry to bring up a dead thread but I can't start a new thread using mobile. But my question is for those using a typhoon intake. I know they're essentially a cheaper Vic jr but are they worth buying?
If you're talking about the efi one it's an Edelbrock Performer knock off. From what I've seen they need some porting to be cleaned up. Depends on your combo.
