So funny. Actually just like I've been talking about in another thread, Ti/Mo intake/exhaust with bronze guides.

Alcohol or race gas?

That is impressive for 6.0 liters. Similar to a 360 Sprint Car engine in terms of power.

It's going in a gutted Silverado drag race truck. It's got a short box and standard cab, lexan windows, cage, 5 gallon fuel cell. It's a very cool all-out race truck.

Jason, I see you are using the Jesel shaft mounted roller rockers which are the best and cost the most. Do you have any experience with the Crower shaft mounted R/R set up? I am considering the Crower R/R's but have been unable to get any feedback on them. Thanks and you better make plenty of the TI values.

Gasoline!

Just to be clear- 93octane E10 gasoline?? haha that's incredible! I guess with a low enough dynamic compression and the perfect combination of excellent cylinder heads/piston shape/Intake style/and valve-train that's achievable.

Great job Jason!

Not with this at 15:1 compression. We were running Sunoco 260 GT+ 104 octane.

He wishes! He has a very reliable, motor. His suspension is very good and he gets a lot of speed from the suspension. His Katech motor is stout and the transmission helps too. All in all, I think we need to take the beast for a spin!
