IMO - double adjustables are only needed for a full blown race car that is having hooking issues at the track due to tire size restrictions in their class.

I just copied this from the other post I posted in but it's relevant here too IMO to be clear. I'm not saying you 'can't' run big power from a big single set-up - I'm just saying it involves other considerations…

lol. I know. The trouble is guys look at the guys like Vinny Barber, GT RO, Geostang, etc. and think a big turbo is the way to go cause these guys are on top of the ET leader boards, but ALL of these guys have built SEVERAL motors in their journey and their eventual motors were complete billet...

The best advice I can give is to look at any impressive actual race car with a similar style motor (CI wise) and then ask them what their compression is. I bet dollars to donuts you will find they are not running 11:1 on a less than 350 CI motor with big FI. The 'secret' is to make...

Not that the turbo had anything to do with your unfortunate incident (sorry BTW) - but just in general - if you rebuild in the future, please shy away from a big single turbo. Your forcing your motor to work just too hard. No amount of tuning (despite what the vendors will tell you) can...

Take this any way you want, but if you are going to rebuild for the future, you should not be building any FI setup for more than 10 psi on an 11:1 motor IMO. A monster $20K motor - I would not run more than 10.5:1 and for the average good $10K motor, I would not go above 10:1, and would...

Ditto Jeremy. I have been looking into a new build and my hesitation has been the block options in general. I personally don't think any of them are factory ready for 'big' power. Having said that, a 700 rwhp goal seems easy enough Ron, since you already got the F150 block, my advice would be...

That would be a monster...:yes1:

If wanting to stay with a SBF - then I agree 100% - still think a BB is a much better alternative for him for what he wants.

Ed - Ken told me about your accident and I was following you on FB. So glad you were okay - I know how scary it can be :chairfall: Best of luck to you but I personally believe rebuilding a 3V is a mistake. Once you've achieved a certain 'ET' - then it is very difficult to 'go backwards' so...

Very impressive beef!

hmmm... FLSTN - one of the cleanest you will ever see...

agreed - he already has 8's there - would bet his 60's are the difference.

Trouble is you are asking over retail for your car. It is very nice - GL but I can't see you getting over 16K for it. bolt-on Mods just don't have any resale - sell the mods and then sell the car to car max and you'll get about what you're asking - just have to do some work for it...:thumb:

What sucks is 05's are going for 15-17K retail at dealers right now and bolt-on mods don't add resale value for crap - not a good world to sell a used car in right now but it is a nice car and GLWS - me thinks you would have to be in the 15K range to move it.
