I dont know to much about engine spec's but when you say 600 is that valve,lobe,duration,etc...?

Will the 600 give you more cam?

[nuke1]

First things first, i am not a genius on cams so bear with me, what the 600 lift is is the height of the lobe, so it opens up the valves even more, allowing more air to be crammed into the cylinder, thus creating more power at the top end, bigger the lift the more high end horse power. This is what i believe.

Correct.... But you left out the harder it is on the rest of the valve train . . .... & remainder of the drivetrain .

[nuke1]

Scoti, you are right, but the rest of the valvetrain was built to go bigger in this truck, however, the bigger it is, the more likely you are to have problems and idle issues.... so yes you are right, we will see, I just WANT MORE! LOL. maybe i should get her done first.

I don't know if it's already been asked but do you have any numbers on the engine HP/TQ wise? That thing scoots around really nice!

[nuke1]

Dylan, the guys that built the engine, build drag engines for a living, they assembled this one and figured it to be roughly 480hp, and closely 450tq, wihtout a dyno it is unsure, but if that is what they do for a living i believe them. it will go on a chassis dyno next year and get properly tuned and tweaked then we will know for sure. and thanks, she sure does move, i will tell you that!

looking good bro!

[nuke1]

Well, the wife, Harleigh and me went to a friends the other day in the truck, we were leaving and i got in the passeger seat and mel looks at me like, what are you doing, i told Mel to get in and drive, you should have seen her face it was priceless, she was so nervous and excited. She loved it, I have been waiting for that day, it was just awesome. letting her drive my truck. She gave her a little fuel once and the grin on her face was priceless, worth everything. anyways a couple pics. Oh i also needed some tunes so i threw in some stuff i had laying around for now, no point in putting in my good stere yet, just something to play a little AC/DC and such. Also added a little home security protection to her, since Havoc has to sit outside for now. Later guys.

Nuke,

Not sure if you saw my question above....also how did you mount it??

Thanks

Hey sorry about that, what is gonna happen is once the bumper is on, the inne structure behind the bumper in front of the rad will be cut out and air diverted onto the cooler, however this cooler is suppose to run cooler than most as it is designed to be run underneath a hot rod with limited space.

DUDE!! That sounds like the same statistic for the kids in my neighborhood!!!!! I'd like to run them under a hot rod with limited space too!!!!! What a coincidence!

[nuke1]

LMFAO that is just too funny, and you are forgiven.

Well that is when i started to work on her, i built my first engine for her a 355, and did the interior of her. Well i drove her for about a year and then got bored on day and me and a friend decided to tear her apart, This was the beginning of a very beautiful love/hate realtionship. for the next year and a half i restored her, and then drove the bag off her....... time for pics.

Came a LONG way from here! Tommorow I'm doing SOMETHING on my project, anything is better than the nothing I've been getting done! One bodyman to another; I know it's hard to please everyone and satisfy yourself too. Good work!
