we did but it was with the new 10 rib setup,onlt that I had the wrong belt lengh and had belt slip at 5800.It was 900 rwhp at 5800 and that was 40 more at the same rpm then the 976 pull..I'm trying to figure it out tho.At the track the mph is down.With great DA [-200] on the 800hp with novi 2200 it mph 151 in 1/4 and now with more power it mph 148 with [2000] DA.I still managed a 9.62 with a 1.51 60foot tho.

Ricky is crazy, he's probably running stock head bolts and those early LS1 graphite head gaskets!! just kidding.


Robert, remember Ricky is crazy not stupid.

He is well aware and probably partially expecting that his engine could let go at anytime.

Those are the head studs I plan on using. However, I will have the block and heads O ringed.

I agree with your tuning. I want to let my setup make power not the tune so I want to make a lot of power with a good fat tune that is not aggressive with the timing.

I don't think you need to oring anything.All the power is in the blower.Cubes don't matter.cam choice with compression ratio and voluum of blower.

O ring for head seal and pinned main caps stock cube 364 with lots of boost is the plan.

Pick up some of those 625+ studs from ARP. Have your builder use them when he hones the cylinders. They can be torqued down to 100 Ftlbs or something crazy like that.

Talked to Procharger tech the other day about my f1d spec at 65k. They told me that 74 k was still in safety parameters.

yes!!! Yes you do!!!

I bought my 2.75 pulley from a mustang guy who sold it to me as a 3 inch pulley. I got it home and it was clearly smaller then the pulley that was on my blower at the time. I pulled out my dial caliper and I measured and it came out to 2.75. I sent Bret a text asking him what he thought about me putting a 2.75" pulley on and he said don't do it. Do you think I listened? No!!
