Hello all,
I'm a former Vortech guy here, but made the switch to the dark side LOL! My goal is to run high 9's, which really shouldn't be too hard if I spin the blower up. Currently, I have a 78/35 cog setup which comes out around 52,000 at 6500, but will probably up the blower cog to 30/31 and be spinning the blower around 58,000-60,000. I think this would get the car into the 9's easily even at its porky weight!
However, I would like to try and run fast with 93 octane. I was considereing an 8" renegade type 8rib setup. Would shoot for somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 psi of boost. I went 11.09 at 128 on 93 with my s-trim at 15 psi. How good do you think my can will run with 93/conservative boost using the Novi??? It weighed 3520 with me in it. Now with the Dart block, I think the weight will be closer to 3600 with me in it. Thanks for the input
Here's my new combo:
331-Dart block (4340 stuff) 9:1 compression
Twisted wedge heads (270 intake/210 exhaust)
544/560 Lunati cam with 1.7's
Novi 2000 (have 78/35 cogs--may up the blower to 30/31)
Victor Jr (EFI) intake
75mm TB
1 5/8 headers (long tubes)---do plan to upgrade to 1 3/4-1 7/8
3" custom x-pipe/flows
AOD-e lockup (probably stall in the 4500-5000 range now)
70/30s
upper/lower control arms in back (adj)
air bag or rear anti-sway
28 X 12.50 Et Streets
3.73
Shift point should be around 6500-6700
Thanks guys and Great Site!!! :D
