Finally ordered my rotating assembly 383 stroker
dsommer replied to dsommer's topic in Gen I & II Chevy V8 Tech Board
I believe so. (not a billet unit) I haven't driven the 240 car with that cam in it very much, heck I don't drive any of my Datsuns (Scarab or 240) much at all. So no clue on the wear. What brand lifters were/are you running? Terry, It'll be a while before this gets on the steet but when it does we'll get together, yeah I'm still in Rogers. What kind of torque are you putting out? -
I don't know anything about that... They are called "rookie stripes". Here is my Scarab with them on. Drivers who are not known to the, organizers or who have limited experience, may be required to affix two "rookie" identification stripes to the rear of the car. This designation allows veteran competitors to exercise additional caution when racing/passing a rookie driver. I don’t know how often they are used now a days. The stripes on my car (and decals all removable vinyl BTW) came from the number kit I bought for my Cobra several years ago. Hope this helps.

There are lies, damn lies and statistics Holley Throttle Body Injection (TBI) 900 CFM TB 85 lb/hr injectors Support up to 550 HP Intake Edelbrock Torker (not Torker II) intake which has been thermal coated and had “hidden†direct port nitrous injection (under intake) for 100HP “shot†Rear end Rear end is LSD independent suspension with upgraded cv axels gear ratio is 3.70:1 Transmission Will upgrade my current trans to the G-force spec trans below. What I currently have World Class (Borg Warner) T-5 Gear ratios 1st 3.35 2nd 1.99 3rd 1.33 4th 1.00 5th 0.68 G-force rear ratios: 1st 2.94 2nd 1.94 3rd 1.34 4th 1.00 5th .59 or .73 From the G-force web site Normally the stock T-5 is rated at about 300 ft-lb of torque capacity. While this is fine for stock or lightly modified engine combinations, especially running small street tires, it isn't generally enough for most of today's high powered street/strip engine combinations, especially those running bigger, more aggressive tires. This is where the G-Force Street 5-Speed kit comes into play. Although we do not like to put torque or horsepower ratings on our products due to the vast differences in clutch, engine, chassis, tire, and mounting combinations, we can give a very rough estimate. There are simply too many variables to consider when trying to figure out how much power or torque a transmission will take in a particular application. Generally, it can be assumed that with the available upgraded mainshaft, the G-Force Street 5-Speed kit will handle roughly 600 hp or 500 ft-lb. or torque in a 3300 lb. vehicle running drag radials at the track with a moderate clutch upgrade. Obviously this is just a rough estimate regarding the power and torque handling capability, but it should give some idea as to what the G-Force Street 5-Speed kit will handle in your particular application. Our Street 5-Speed kits are currently available with the preferred 2.94, 1.94, 1.34, 1.00 ratios in gears 1 thru 4, and because most performance enthusiasts run a relatively steep rear gear, our synchronized kit utilizes a .59 overdrive. This is slightly taller than the stock .68 or .63 ratio and allows the engine to turn less RPM at cruising speed. This equates to less engine wear and better gas mileage while still maintaining incredible acceleration in the first 4 gears - amazing! We are currently working on more ratios for both kits, including a special dog-ring-only road race ratio.

Its got a Corvette engine in it......shezzz

Did you have G-force build yours or did you have it done locally??? What parts/package did you install?
-
Why not the T-56 6speed? Lots of folks are running them. Personally I'm going to run a WC T-5 behind my stroker, I figure if I don't BEAT on it too hard it should last a good while. Check out racingjunk.com for leads on trannys. Good luck and post up some pics and an intro.

Marcus for that price I think you'll be kissing it good bye -
Sell the engine and buy Pound9oh9's z for cheap... BTW what engine do you have???? I'm in the market for one L-6.

Are you running an LSD or open dif? Breaking them huh? You're putting down some power. I better stock up when I rebuild my engine, so far I've got an LSD in the car, a 3.9 and a 3.54 sitting.

Must be single ha-ha. Nice work BTW!!! -
Sorry but your brother is a dumba$$ for driving w/o insurance, PERIOD. What if he hit a person and killed them, then what? I pay and pay and pay for insurance just like so many others on this board knowing your brother drives around w/o insurance is like walking around with a loaded gun with your finger on the trigger and the safety off. Slap him on the head and demand he gets insurance before he gets back out on the streets again.

I second that it can be done but you pull up in a 3rd gen F-body and tell me it can beat a Hennessey Viper....well that's nice but I'd like to SEE you beat up a Hennessey Viper in person but they aren't parked on every street corner. Basically you'll just be running with the F-body crowd and talking down about Mustangs and Corvettes. Speaking of Corvettes, that is the platform I would choose if you're staying domestic. It stacks up better against the Viper in that they both are "iconic" sports cars, two seaters big HP (not talking about stock vettes in some cases ie 1978 cars ug choke cough). Here is what I plan on building one day and I'll take on all comers. http://www.factoryfive.com/gtmhome.html
