Who?

What?


Power?

Crazy!

Mind blowing!

 

[BlownDSGvert03]

???

 

[boosted2000si]

No compression, bore, stroke info.

What ported blower?

As a recent post showed you can make up to 570hp with the right port on those cams. Depending on the obvious missing variables.

 

[BlownDSGvert03]

not sure on the compression bore or stroke i know im going 302 stroker but that all i know for now and a stock blower for now just a ported eaton. should i see a big diffrence going to a stroker vs. a stock ?

oh i do know he is going .30 over if that helps

 

[boosted2000si]

If your going to a 302 it will be a nice little difference. Its not going to be like something completely new but it will gain some nice power. You would have noticed more of a difference if you were on a turbo setup due to the volume difference.

Its a good platform to start with being you are new to the car. Im sure in no time you will have a larger blower and making 600+

To utilize all of what you have now, you will need to add a lower pulley and spin the piss out of that blower. I would almost consider a little spray myself.


Whats the need for all the head work? Did you bend a valve?

 

[BlownDSGvert03]

nope didnt bend a valve but figured if i got it apart its only 600 for new better valves witch cant hurt. and yeah im sorry im also doing the lower lol..

more or less were do u think i will stand power wise with this setup ?

 

[boosted2000si]

Depends on the tune and port on the blower.

You should see at least 540 - 550hp imo.

 

[BlownDSGvert03]

that sounds pretty good to me..

Your from North Florida and DON'T know who Ronnie Crawford is? Let me guess your still in your 20's?

 

[BlownDSGvert03]

[Brutal Metal]

Ronnie put the 347 Stroker on the map in the early 90's and lots of Fun Ford Weekend 5.0 Shootout competitors used his powerplants!

I actually turned 28 today, happy birthday me.


However I do ALL my own engine builds. Every one since I was 18. Now had the question been machine shops then I could probably play along.

I know who Kris Sterns is, can I get a nice golf clap?

 

[Brutal Metal]

^^ Just poking fun when you asked WHO Ronnie was:rockon: Have a Good Day

With a good maxed out Ported Eaton setup 570hp with cams is reachable with "corrected" numbers.:beer:

We were slow, got busy for 2 weeks, now we're slow again. Even if we get busy if we know a rush blower is coming we'll work it in.

I personally haven't heard about Ronnie's expertise with Mod motors, he was out of the game for awhile when Crawford Performance closed down, I heard he has a smaller place now but is still making Shiate happen when it comes to power producing:bowdown:
