priming pressure cold is all about relief spring and how good of a drill you have.

It's been a few years since I've run solid rollers in a small block mopar because my life is all new hemis now. But, I'm starting a 4.125 stroke 340 for my 71 Ruster and am considering solid roller. Back before I got into new hemis and stopped building small blocks one of the main problems...

Hey Chris, I bet the 545 would hold up well in a 3000 lb ruster where it doesn't in a 5000 lb truck. But you'd need a controller so your probably best with the 727. Thats what Les is doing also. I've going 833 for the short term and setting up a viper T56 for the long run. But at this point...

Yeh, it's been pretty busy lately but I'm catching up on the tunes so I should be able to get on them monday.

The diablo predator does support it but it's pretty limited compaired to the later PCM's. Main thing is theres no changing idle speed. That and some of the controls you don't have with throttle rates and airflow tables makes it pretty limited when tuning a bigger cam. If it wont idle at 650...

I guess that means I need to get going on your heads soon:)

Right you have to reflash to remove the skim code to get it to work. It also makes a ton of sense to settup to use a diablo predator for tuning as who doing this wants to be married to a stock engine.

I know you all probably don't know this but, you have a supporting vendor on the site that invented the 5.7/392 stroker. I missed the first 6.1/426 by about 2 weeks as Indy beat me to it getting an engine out but my 426 was first to be running in a car. Enough of blowing my own horn. Point is...

I've been working with Plum Floored for a couple months as a joint effort and he offers Inertia parts and I offer his. One thing coming from this is we've combined his custom wiring harness with my experience and connections in tuning the hemi trucks and LX's. Whats coming out of this is a...

8 lbs on a stock srt is about as far as I'd go if you want it to run over 50K miles. you can run more for a while but it will fatigue. I'm not sure 8 lbs on a stock engine will get 50 K if you push it alot. Correct though the tune is critical. The 450 RWHP cam only dyno on the site was...

If your PCM settup would allow a diablo predator to install it can be tuned to work with the 45 PSI pump. Thats what I'm trying to settup currently.

I could be wrong but I think thats Adam with ST's car. If so he is running one of my cams in it.

I'm becoming a vendor on here this week.

Are you staying stock with the 6.1 or going to mod it? From a torque standpoint you can about compair the 6.1 with a 440 they pull a strong flat torque curve. So I'd try the 904 and if it burns up go 727, my guess is you will have to have a decently built 727 to take it. One of my 392/6.1...

[/url] Yeah I know him personally and his Prices are outragous But I might be able to get him to swing a deal. I provide some parts to them. Mostly, cams and engine parts. I can check with him on prices if there is anything particular. I'm going to buy in as a vendor here in a few days so...

The parts for the new hemis are actually pretty cheap if you know where to get them.

The machining is important for bearing life and failure from an overheating bearing but cracks like this that are either design, alloy or most likley heat treat. Too much martensite in the grain structure makes a hard but brittle crank. A stock 440 crank in cheap 1053 alloy with 0.030" ground...

only the exhaust manifold gaskets are replacement type. The head gaskets are mls so you can reuse those if you want and there not dammaged. Everything else is an oring. Despite common opinion the head bolts are not torque to yeild and can be reused also. If you torque them more than a few...

I'd be interested in that too. My thoughts are the stock PCM and harness with a good CMR tune using the diablo predator to interface would be the best way and probably the cheapest too.

My head porter does alot of P7 heads for cup cars and said it's a real efficient engine. 840 HP with a 9.0 CR and a tiny carb I believe it. The main parts are readily available for cheap it's going to be the small, reusable stuff that will cost you though. Theres a guy that sells mopar race...

I consider that tensioner a maintenance part at 80K. It's also a good excuse to put a cam in:). the other things to look at are the springs on 03-04 trucks tend to fail. Those same year engines also have toner rings that can fail which is exacerbated by some of the underdrive pullies like the...

Lol, I sent Adam a cam the other day. His new settup 418 will be quite a bit faster.

The bracket is that size because about the only things you can do with the AC and alternator is move them out so they are out of the way of the intake. They can't go down any more as they will hit the valve covers. I haven't tried this settup in a car. I think it would fit because it's...

In CMR on the Hemi PCM's I've seen it won't let you adjust the closed loop target AFR. If you closed loop it's going to give you 14.7 unless the fuel trims are soo far off it can't. Might be able to make something to fool the linear o2 sensors into thinking it's sub stoic so it will make it...

I think it can be done pretty cheap if your willing to take on alot of the stuff yourself. Good 5.7 hemi short blocks are cheap but be careful not to buy something thats had the pistons broken as thats pretty common. There are plenty of good 5.7 hemis around at a reasonable price. You can...

I agree, an LX with a decently modded 5.7 can get 25 MPG highway. I've seen similar numbers on 6.1 baised strokers that were settup with MDS. With an A body being over 1000 lbs lighter I think 30 is in range if you build for it. It's really amatter of having a good overdrive ratio and then...

I'm pretty confident that a stock block 6.1 in a car that was a daily or weekend driver could get in the 10's in an A body. I mean, heck theres a stock block 5.7 quad cab 05 Ram that runs 12.7x on motor at 5000 lbs race weight and thats his daily driver just bolt on the DR's and go run mid 12's...

This is what it looks like.

It's Ruster on another forum. I see I misspelled my name on this one:) People will be thinking I'm driving a Subaru. The 5.7 car manifold still requires about 1/4 to 3/8 of spacer after the bracket kit and machined timing cover is installed as that was designed for the 6.1 intake and the 5.7...

I know of quite a few stock block head, cam, ported intake manifold LX running high 11's that are in the 4400 lb range so the same settup in a 3000 lb A body should get it done. The rest of the chassis will have to be up to the task but considering most of the LX's running those times are...
