Alright Everyone! I had just got my car straight with some custom cams from Mod Mafia Performance and Their dyno tune. It was 8.6:1 Compression with stock heads, stock intake/t.b. , custom cams and novi 2200sl. Made 604hp on 93 and 640 on e-"85ish". Was able to get one pass on pump93 ..junk 1.70 60ft and went a 10.32@136 throwing the belt :/ But enough about the slowness lol
Now the motor is out due to a bad rod bearing. I am going back together with a 10.5:1 motor and going smaller blower pulley. I am looking for a Kellogg crank to throw in, reuse my manleys/arp2000, but still looking at pistons. Diamonds were the first choice.275 down top ring and .155" pins, but they will have to be custom due to not having valve reliefs. I was also looking at the manley but they have only a .220 down top ring and .120" pins.. Then there is wiseco, a very nice looking piston with a "partial" skirt and struts, .300 down top ring and .173 pin (9310 allow .225 $176 more)
What is everyones opinions? I know I am looking too deep into this all..but wanting to make sure I only buy once and it lasts for a "long" time!
Thanks guys
