  • I don't know about the carb models, but the EFI has a rev limiter anyway. It's not about RPM anyway, it's about area under the curve and a broad flat torque curve. Can't wait to see a dyno chart!

              DYNO!!!!!
              I can't wait! Really want to get that head work done on mine. Need numbers to justify the cost.

              • When drumnerd33 contacted me regarding his B3 build, he had 3 equal goals.....zero maintenance, longevity & increased power. A focus on any 1 aspect of this will overshadow the other. Considering reusing stock rods, bi-metal bearings & OE cast pistons, a self imposed of 6,000 RPM limit was wisely chosen. So focusing on power production above that limit would have only hindered performance below peak torque. From what I see, it looks like it has been a successful build. Keep in mind also the intake manifold will cause this engine to lay over at the top end. It would be much like putting an Edlebrock Performer Low Rise Intake on a NASCAR engine. Looking forward to seeing it on a dyno or at the track. EXCELLENT WORK!!

                  • My only question is does your heat blow hotter in the cold now and does it warm up quicker?

                      I will also say this... Video just doesn't do it justice, when you ride in it or drive it... It will blow you away, Milton havoc went for a ride in it with me even before I could go past 4000 rpm and he had a huge smile

                        My heat was always really good and is still the same... As far as time to warm up, seems around the same to me, this engine has always warned up pretty quick. Biggest thing I noticed with cold is that with the large cam it doesn't like the cold starts quite as much but some of that I think is my carb tuning

                        • Well i think i got the carb pretty well dialed in, maybe just a few more little tweeks, but its running really good much better then before. It pulls hard now, next is to get it dynoed but my funds are low right cuz spent all the money in my account to put a down payment on a 2011 ford edge. Im gonna start making some phone calls and see how much the places around here will charge for a couple pulls on the dyno and hopefully get some money together soon so you guys can see the numbers.
