There's a dyno dynamics in Tulsa, OK? I'm from that area as well. Who tuned this car last?

Good to know, that would more in line with what i was expecting to see. As for the cam, you're right and i never noticed but the lift is definitely different. I may have to do a little more research, maybe it was a custom grind to accommodate the n02.



Car was tuned by EPS in Baton Rouge, LA. There are a couple dyno dynamics around. Car Toys is the shop i went to, just for 3 pulls on the dyno, didn't let them touch the tune.

I would expect the car to make a lot more power as well. I plan on having my car tuned in the next month or so. Let me know if you're interested in getting your car tuned as well. There really isn't any reputable shops in Tulsa that I would recommend taking your car to. My car was tune since by a "reputable" tuner out of state and I wasn't impressed at all. JP out of Van Buren, AR may tune my car next. He's tuned a lot of fast cars in my area and seems pretty knowledgable.

It looks like the lift numbers on the box are calculated for 1.7 rockers. If you calculate them for 1.8 rockers it is in line with the lift listed on BTR's website.

Agreed on the RWHP numbers, HP at the Crank will be a tiny bit closer to what you had originally expected... As others have said, it's just a tool, and your ET's at the 1/4 mile are what matters.

I'm curious though, why did the privious owner install aftermarket heads and cam, replace the pistons etc with forged components, yet leave the bottom end stock? No offesne meant in the least my friend please, but that's like getting half a hard on, it's better than nothing but... Just a little more work and you could have something that would handle a TON of nitrous or boost, I mean God's own chariot kind of power man....

Also, why is your compression ratio so high at 12:1, was that by design, as that really puts a leash on your abilty to make power via forced induction, oe even a bit of spray, etc. At 12:1 you're begging for detonation. Even a bad tank of gas will roast your motor, no? Or did I miss something in your build? What Octane fuel are your putting in your baby?

Again, I DO NOT mean any offense, I'm just trying to understand your goals and how they relate to your build...

PEACE!!!!

I can't speak to what the previous owner had planned or for why he left the bottom end. Personally i don't plan to put it on boost, and actually plan on selling the N02 setup and just running it NA.

Currently running 91 pump gas as that is pretty much all that's available in Oklahoma, but may look at going e85.

Goal is 9.9 NA, though I'm unsure if it's even capable of that. I really don't want to turn this into a full drag car by having to go with full cage etc to meet sub 10.0 NHRA specs.

The pistons are the weak link. The stock crank and rods will survive quite a bit of power IMO

Though I probably would have at least replaced the rods while I was at it..
