Vortech blown 360 dyno day
A huge THANKS to all of you for your kind comments. I'll try to answer some of your questions, here.
I got the blower off ebay for $1,000, still new in the box. Total cost of this project topped 4 grand, with at least $1,000 in the fuel lines, 2 pumps, fuel cell, regulator and $$$$ for all the many A-N fittings I had to buy. The silicone hose I used was $2.98 a linear foot, and I used a lot of it...
I'm not sure a longer-duration cam would produce more hp, but maybe. On the Hughes website, beside the specs for this cam, it says "GOOD SUPERCHARGER CAM." so, I dunno; would be worth a try, for sure!
The spaghetti comment I surely deserve; neatness is a virtue I haven't mastered, yet... but, I'm workin' on it! LOL! Got the twist-ties ordered!!! LOL!
I already have some 7"-wide, 15" "dog dish" steel rear wheels; they have street tires on them; thought the Centerlines would be better at the strip... (MUCH lighter).
My dog dish hubcaps are '64 Valiant items that I bought off ebay in honor of my other Valiant, a '340-powered '64 V-100 2-door post car that I sold in 1980 when I moved from Iowa to California. Only car I ever owned that never got outrun... you gotta love a car like that!!! LOL!
Yes, I woke up smiling, today, and the beat goes on.... LOL!
I'll smile a lot more when I can get some decent 60-foot times.
Workin' on that!
Thanks again, guys, for all your encouragement and kind comments.
The folks on this forum are like no other..... the absolute best!!!
