  1. Very impressive Tim- lots of time and money and patience . Was this an all out hp run or is this your DD tune?!
  2. Change the lifters to solid and put whatever you want in there as far as cam
  3. Well I hope to get to the dyno once more with my Mikunis before the weather gets too bad. I have a thinner HG I'd like to bump CR with before I go. After that I'm going FI on the little 2.4 .
  4. Fun vids. As long as your having fun is what matters right? Sounds like you have a lot of unknowns , but the motor sounds good for sure. Lots of research for me shows that these heads really need a lot of porting for bigger power. When Rebello heads show 40mm ports , I can't hardly believe it. Higher compression , bigger cam, bigger ports might be one direction . I told myself I wouldn't get caught up in the HP race , but I do want more myself:) probably won't be happy until 3.2 stroker . Going FI myself incase I get the turbo bug
  5. Great idea Jon . I need to redo this set up so I will keep this in mind!!

  7. Dave at Rebello is interested in my diesel block so someone is doing something with them.
  8. I will have to go back and search, but I thought part of the attraction on the BC was there was a non- pillow ball option that had top hats that were insulated by rubber. For me- no more NVH is desired. I'd like to have better ride options as far as adjustable shocks. "Coil over " with smaller springs would be nice for bigger wheel options , but not ready to sacrifice any more on ride quality .
  9. Thank you for taking the time to lay out some basics - not a coil over guy. Questions though. Where is the rubber insulation at in the top hats? I looked at pics trying to make out the construction , but fail to see this. So camber plates are not needed with these and all camber adjustments are done by dropping struts? Or can you use both ? My confusion on install is that I thought there was not cutting involved or welding, but now I understand that the original strut housing is removed and BC is installed, welded , on. So really it's the same amount of work as section ing struts ?
  10. I guess I need a 101 class on how these adjust, install , etc... Keep looking but can't find much info
  11. Nice numbers . I guess there's something true about that squish stuff I plan on at least 11:1 on my build but will be using the mn47 . I can get 93 out here so sounds like I'm good . Making that power with 34 all in also confirms my research . Congrats
  12. I probably have one - I'll check when I get home
  13. Sounds like your tentative plan would work for your goals . Just don't go wussy on the cam.
  14. I like that fact that the HP on the 40's ! It's been said you can't make power with just 40's, but this seems very impressive .
  15. Put me down. I'm tired of being paranoid that my car is going to roll away
  16. I guess that's my question- so is a bracket and a cable that I am on the list for?
  17. Why do you say small valves ? Doesn't the 42 have the larger valves? I anxious to see you diesel intake . I have one on the shelf that I would also like to use. They have larger diameter runners besides being long- 35mm
  18. "Cheap one" is to drill your flywheel and use it with a gear tooth sensor. 30$ and your time . Of course this does mean pulling your trans , but the benefit is a very stable signal
  19. Don't forget guys- this bar is way thicker so spacing between the mounting holes gets slim- thus a much thinner bushing. The bushing sticks out past the metal bracket slightly at the frame and is squished when tightening down the bar . I don't see how it could be any thicker unless the actual mount holes were wider
