Re: block heater
I have looked at the elements that bolt in place of a core plug, but I'm not too fond of the fit. What other options are available? I "think" I want a heater that will install inline the lower hose. NOTE, I have a #12 AN lower hose. For drag racing, you should be heating the oil and not t...

Re: 062 Vortec Head Test a Success Car goes 10.92
Thats what happens when you dont put the typically recommended 220cc heads with 2.1 valves and 93% throats on your combo, your probably around 180-185 cc and shifting 6-6500, welcome to matching velocity needs to cubic consumption

Re: Intake valve lift at BDC
i wouldnt close the valve 80*abc on a 5000 rpm 350, but at 9500 rpm i would if the comp is right How do you feel compression affects point of IVC?

Re: Intake valve lift at BDC
Its a moving target, stroke , rod length, induction track csa, duration, rpm, lift plus others effect it, i wouldnt close the valve 80*abc on a 5000 rpm 350, but at 9500 rpm i would if the comp is right, there is still 66% of the stroke left and if your csa, velocity and a list of other variables li...
