Someone brought this up over at the corvette place. What are you opinions on the longevity of a flat plane crank engine as a daily driver and if tracked?
Thanks -Jim

What do you think the new Z06 engine will make based on the following:
5.5L 335cid
Flat plane crank
DOHC
Normaly aspirated
8,500 redline
Smooth idle of 750?
3yr/36k warranty

Someone sold the device bubba used to diesel fog the lady riding her bike. Saw this first hand....
the grey area in your argument is when freedom of expression transcends into freedom of action.

That article doesn’t list changes year to year... current rears are 415’s or 16”

Indy car engine difference…
Current engines. Chevy is a collaboration with Ilmor Honda say ‘built’ by HPD in California Are these the same engines but rebadged? Are there any common parts like blocks, heads etc and then each manufacturer builds/assembles tunes? I tried googling for pics to compare things like valve cover bolt ...

Would you buy a Holley 4175 converted from 4160 to 4150?
As the title states... I've been looking for a 4175 (spreadbore VS electric choke) and have been offered one that was converted to 4150 style with the rear metering block. Its for a relatively basic 350/350 SBC. Stay away or go for it? $350... I have no desire in changing the manifold to a square bo...

Re: Pro Stock What If - Carb/EFI
You need to follow WEC/ALMS/LeMans for any innovation and that’s where the factories are really trying some cool stuff. MotoGP and F1 are still pretty loose as well and the factories are doing cool stuff there. For top level, most open rules, naturally aspirated, then MotoGP is your ticket. They’re...

Drop downs are really cool. I saved the file then opened it with Works. The online version of excell works well.

Re: Header Theory by Vince Roman from Burns @ PRI
This is a pic I lifted from another site. Its a 180 degree C6 Corvette piece. IIRC the owner/welder strived for equal length tubes. Seems like the owner/welder should've sacrificed equal length for smoother bends?

Re: Header Theory by Vince Roman from Burns @ PRI
Calvin, you've mentioned a preference for 4-2-1 headers below a certain rpm. Are your 4-2-1 headers the same as 'tri Y'? Can you talk about the differences between a Tri-Y and 4-2-1 systems? I understand not wanting 90 degree firing cylinders going into the same 'Y'.
