Thank you sir, much apreciated

And then there's things like external wet sump systems or dry sump systems.....vacuum pumps.....coated pans/windage trays......hand cut scrapers....oil limiters........

 

[Matt D]

Dry sump is a no go. I was thinking vacuum pump but is my little motor really going to gain from it? I have yet to see a modular pull a set up off...

I don't know how far you want to take this... but I have friends who are pro racers on the road course tracks. They go as far as doing a heat treatment and major polish job on all of the trans gears and R&P to reduce surface friction. These guys swear buy it. I have to think it would help drag cars too.

This thread is a win for sure. Lots of good info.

 

[Matt D]

I was thinking of lightning & heat treating my Rear end gears but nothing inside the trans..

I will be going to a lighter flywheel aswell.. Wan't to get this motor to pull hard very quickly lol

All Motor guys

"We be gettin er done"

lol, This was why I wanted to make this thread xD I new ideas would be flying

 

[GrnBullitt08]

What flywheel and clutch combo are you going with? I need to replace mine, the Spec Stage I isn't holding very well

 

[Matt D]

Pro street ACT flywheel and probably going act clutch aswell

 

[Matt D]

YES! found the bracket for the pump, didn't think they would make one

4 Vane pump seems to be the most efficent and lightest they offer

At what point does the valvetrain become a limitation? And what are the guys pushing the limits for N/A 3V running for heads and cams? Livernois Stage 3's with Comp Cam XFI's or custom ground cams?

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Nice finds, this will all be very useful information for me during the next year. I just grabbed a new shifter finally so I could ditch the stocker. I have a long road before I catch up with you. If I ever do... Lol

 

[Matt D]

I just found the most important link to all this pump stuff.... One mounted on a 4.6! Im so much happier now Im adding this set up to the list fo sho

I have the 127500 Xfi's , Custom grind is the way to go but big $$ depnding on the set up.

The 127600's and the stg 3 livernois or almost any hogged out head would be a great combo for off the shelf parts

I still have the stocker in mine

 

[GrnBullitt08]

I don't like the height of the stocker, sits to low. The Hurst Comp should place the shifter right where I want it. And that vaccum pump looks like it sits right where the power steering pump sits... Hmmm

 

[Matt D]

Good thing im ditchin it finally..... lol

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Unfortunate for me...power steering has to stay until the car isn't a DD

Depends on the ring pack you have in the engine.

I don't know how far you want to take this... but I have friends who are pro racers on the road course tracks. They go as far as doing a heat treatment and major polish job on all of the trans gears and R&P to reduce surface friction. These guys swear buy it. I have to think it would help drag cars too.

It works in drag race setups as well.

When the lift of the cam pushes the retainer down onto the guide boss. Then we get to playing with longer valves, taller springs, and reduced base circle cams.

I have the 127500 Xfi's , Custom grind is the way to go but big $$ depnding on the set up.

Price on custom grinds is the same as shelf cams, kid.
