When are you going to be doing 2.3 to 3.4 trade in's? LOL Sounds like that 3.4 is one bad mutha! What's the highest hp you think you will get out of the 2.3 on 93 octane?

 

[silverbull1tt]

Damn good numbers Adam, i'm looking forward to my build eagerly. You going to have someone taking video tomorrow @ CA Speedway?

 

[Adam@ST]

re video

Well if it doesnt rain,and we race yes. My wife is real excited. She was so mad that ir rained today.Shes been looking forward to the track rental for 2 weeks now.She wants to be the fastest chick in a S197. Ill see if I can help her do that.

I doubt there will any trade in programs,but yes the 3.4 is pretty bad. Kens car made 701 hp last night just under 20lbs with an Auto trans. I could have leaned on it more, but still havent got alot of pulley choices yet.
On the 2.3l , Im sure it would have made similar power on 93,or very close to it. I mixed race fuel with 91pump to get 102 octane. The 2.3l is responding well to the new mods, I am going to bump her car up to 24lbs and see if 700rwhp is possible. From what Im seeing so far,the math,moon and stars,I dont think it will be a problem.

I see you left the stock crank in ! .... You must think it will hold alright even at 600 + hp ?

 

[Adam@ST]

re crank

I wouldnt be surprised if it hold up to 650 rwhp. I have never heard of anyone breaking a stock crank. If I were going to road race this car, I most likey would have went forged because its alot more stress on the crank. This is a daily driver that sees the track 4 times a month.I have quite a few other builds just like this that are over 1 year old running strong with no issues. I have a friend with a 620 hp F-1 procharger Stang that has been running a stock crank for over 4 years. This is his daily driver too.

 

[Ken3030]

I was there watching this car during the pulls and I will tell you it is impressive. I cant wait to see it run.

 

[jsawyer]

yeah, what is the trade in value on the kb 2.6? lol

 

[ZmanM3]

Thats awesome.

 

[stkjock]

wow....impressive build....

 

[Mick Mach]

very nice! she'd be the fastest in a s197 around here!

 

[donnyonee]

do you really think donna will just sit by and watch?

adam now that i read this i wonder if would bother in changing my crank, im doing a turbo setup with pretty much the usual forged internals, im not planning on going over 550hp with it. and the car is almost not driven, ass your wifes cars it would see the track couple times but no more than that. you think it would be ok if i live the stock one on ?

thanks
