so the internals can handle that much boost though?

 

put it this way i was pushing 22 through my setup and never had a problem and his 22 is making much more power but also a lot less heat so he won't worry about blowing as long as he is tuned safe.

 

makes sense.

 

the piston's may start to loss realabilty at his power levels though soon but only time will tell.

 

Dan was pushing 22psi on his stock motor too for awhile. Motor can take the pressure.

I've seen my car peak 23lbs before on a couple nights. Just means I got some restrictions though.

 

Yeah so far no issues, and my motor is bone stock. Does make a rattling noise from the head occasionally at idle when parked at an angle though. Gonna check into that this week, thankfully I have a spare head though if anything is broken, I wouldn't be surprised though since I"ve been running a 7400rpm red line for 22000 miles now lol.
But new motor is going to be pretty much bullet proof to over 500hp easy, so not much to worry about there, hopefully pick up the MSD standalone when it comes out and be running 8500+ rpm on a gt35r or 60-1 once all is said and done.

 

arent you worried about floating valves running 7400 rpm on stock internals?

 

yeah, I only use that high an rpm in races, or at the track so I can trap in 3rd gear

 

makes sense

 

the rattling noise is a common thing. yet the dealer can't "hear" it. go figure.

 

It might be the tensioner, but it's intermittent. I dunno, gonna tear it down and take a look

 

LOL no...if heat destroyed motors the 1400deg stock combustions chamber temps would destroy it...not the 200deg iats

 

btw dan, how;d the new round of sd tuning go man? My Maf setup seems to be working ok now with the new piping. swapping to the bigger tb next week and changing some more things around

 

yulp. depends on how you warm the car up too. weird creation

 

I usually let it run for 1-2 minutes before driving more if it's colder

 

thats what i meant i just thought breaking it into simple ppl terms would help..... 200* iat's mind filling me in what 2.5 pullied no cooling mods 4th gear at 140

 

I took it out and played with it the other night but changed too much other stuff and it didnt work well. I need to start with what i got and retune it from there. Hopefully there wont be much rain this week so I can play with it

Heat doesnt destroy motors...Knock does...well Extremely hi EGTs can melt valves too. High intake temps do promote knock tho.

 

exactly but see im a lazy guy so thats why i don't get to much into detail

 

I hope you can get it all figured out and get it work right, caus eI would much rather run s.d. instead myself. But I have it holding a pretty nice level 11.6-11.8 until full boost and it leans out, but from what I've sen in the loigs and the way the motor sounds, it's gotta be the clutch slipping, or I'm spinning the tires at 100mph (which I doubt)

 

After boost has come in around 50 in 2nd the car will still break the tires loose at 60-70mph on a flat surface in my car. Going to 83mph in 2nd is ftw...I heart my 8200rpm redline.

I still got that weird af hiccup from 5100 to 5900. Im 99% sure my maf is the correct direction. least as far as I remember. Maybe ill have to steal another redline maf and test it. If I could get it to work on maf itd make my day ez but ill keep trying.

and my front left tire keeps going flat

 

im havin my head worked ported in the upcoming weeks. what have you and paul done to have your redlines up so high safely. ik paul hasnt done anything yet but im pressuming he will if he wants an 8k redline. what parts exactly are you guys getting/gotten.

 

same here. it still does it.

at least gm has it on record that i took it in for the noise.

 

Hey, mine too. It's my signature when I work on a motor.

 

yeah my car gets a bit squirley too once I hit full boost now (22 psi) but I still can't tell if I'm just spinning the tires or if the clutch is slipping. Need to have some one drive next to me that can actually keep up with me lol.

 

I blew up the car last night tuning...initial guess is a rod thru the block...wont know for sure until i drop the pan tonight or tomorrow. Or maybe a rod bearing...either way it sounded horrendous and made a huge oil slick
