Beefcake vs BBR

[lostsoul]

Yes, that's great it went fast but we want to make sure it lasts.

then just cut to the chase and run it on AED tune. If it lasts a season on a shitty tune then it will withstand anything

BTW this Evo car has the L&M Tornado Block in it, not a FRPP Sportsman test unit.

Hmm. Interesting.

Just Another 700whp DD 5.0

Did I hear right that there are now 2 Ford racing blacks that have been damaged?

I presume you mean the new FRPP Sportsman block.

A and O are on the opposite sides of the keyboard. No blaming auto correct on the phone either! NIQQA YOU RACIST!

HAHAHAHA

Really! Who broke them? we are about to start flogging ours really soon....

 

[kdanner]

Heh, "blacks".

I'm not going to say who I was told broke them, as they haven't said anything publicly, it's up to them. I guess block filler is now on the menu. It would be interesting to hear if any CJs have had this problem since they would all be on gas instead of E85.

 

[stkjock]

so you heard two broke huh?

I did. Something about leaking coolant on one and still pushing out cylinders on the other.

^ correct

I'll say this much. Based on what I know, I will no longer be chasing the 1000whp mark. I am going to sit tight at the 750-800s and call it a day so it lives a while.

So, has Terry torn his down yet to verify his coolant issue is a head gasket and not a block issue?

MMR sleeved block is a option as well. They have been 7.0 with it.

If by 7.0 in the 1/4 is what you are referring too? In the blue car? That block is not a street use block, IIRC it's at least half filled if not more, it's a strictly race car block

 

[psfracer]

wow thats crazy. No sense in building 1000 rwhp if you can only get a handful of passes out of it. The 3V blocks never had this problem, correct? Just the new coyote block? I remember taking pictures of a broken coyote a couple years ago when it failed, but at a lower hp level.

I guess if this is true, (that 2 of the new blocks have already failed) that a filled block is the only way to go for that power level. Bye-bye street car though.

no the 3v block had a support in the water jacket that was left off the Coyote


see the red arrow showing the totally open water jacket

Hmm this kind of discouraging ... Was hoping to see good results from the new block...

I think the best way to go when hunting down big power is sleeves. Period.

Or buy a Supra... LOL! Wait, what?
