Stan please give it up. You’re not gonna teach me stuff I learned 50 years ago.

Here’s my problem with you stan did you read why he went back to 850, he’s not asking if a 1050 will make more power. He already knows that.

Gach,
Yes I did. JMO, but I would like to see what his intake manifold flows on the bench with and without his adapter. I have seen to many cases where what looks like a good a adapter ready hurts flow or can really kill what was really good swirl.

He was hoping to learn something from your pump gas stroker motor build, 700 plus hp. Because he never got that out of his combo he thought he could learn something from you. He just don’t understand why now all of a sudden you’re going backwards. LOL spent all that money on that dominator to turn around and run 850. He was anxious to see how much you’d pick up because he doesn’t run all that stuff, back cut rings, vacuum pump, crank trigger, 2” tube headers and Merge collector, or a pan with a double scraper. Or a super modified oil pump. His only problem is you’re not gonna back up your claims most power pump gas stroker motor. So yeah he’s very disappointed. So I can see as usual my post went right over your head. I thought the purpose of the board was to learn and get help from each other. After following your 3 year build he’s very disappointed. He kept telling me Gach your wrong you should listen to Dragncar. LOL

I do not think Mike exist. If he does, prove it.
You think you know more about cams than Tim Goolsby who told me, do not run that cam in a stock block.
So I listen to one of the actual most knowledgeable cam guys on planet Earth.
I think that is a wise move even if it costs me 10-12 HP . All is lost if I break the block.
Not sure why you are so hung up on my little engine. You like to bring it up all the time. What is it any business of yours if I want to start out with a 850 and work my way up to the bigger carb. It my freaking engine and my money, time and effort.
The reason I am not going to beat on this thing is I am going to have my HOs re done by a respected member and then I can pound the snot out of that engine all I want. And I think I can get a 9-1 engine below 10.50 so I am going to give it a shot.
I have the IA block and 90% of all the parts in my hands if I want to run something hard.
As it is this engine might get close to 10 flat with a 4150 carb and dip into the 10s with the Dominator. That is all I could ever expect no matter what cam or carb.
And yeah, I just might end up with one of the best non Wide Port pump gas strokes ever done. It not like I have not tried so lets see how it goes.
But I am not going to put my 1050 on her and spin it to the moon just for you, sorry.
I just stabbed the throttle for the first time past 4K today and this engine is a whole different deal. Sounds mean
Everything so far has gone perfect. No leaks, no rattles, not sucking oil in the V pump, building vacuum,
And I am happy as a clam.

That right there says it all. LOL

Why would you be doing it for me …LOL. Oh my God you got me pissing my pants I’m laughing so hard. Dragncar do your own thing, And the NEW pump gas stroker king ! I’ll tell you man I learn so much from you. I’m Taking notes. I already got five pages full. LOL

[Gach]

Ok, I figure out, how to block you or anyone else that copies your post or mine. For that matter. Really I wish you all the best good luck.

Gach,
What needs to happen is a moderator need to clean all of you off topic trolling BS out of this thread.

It made 600 HP and 600 ft lbs. He also advised that i put a colder plug in, which I did.
I have now fitted an adapter and gone to a 850 double pumper. I have only lost 2/10 ET but 6 mph. Is this fuelling? I expected to be slower but not 6mph. Also how do I determine if its still the correct plug?

Still trying to understand that big a HP loss with the 850.

Do you have a dyno sheet that you can post?

Also can you post your engine specs?

Stan

[wakesupremo]

I have the dyno sheet but no way of posting it.
The engine is a 1968 400 block + 0.0060 with 4.25" stroke. Eagle 'H' beam 6.8" rods, forged pistons Lunati roller cam which I have the specs but not off the top of my head. 1.65 scorpion roller rockers with Johnson lifters. It has a mega brace lifter valley brace and a rocker stud girdle. A single plain manifold with an adapter and 850 DP holley thats been 'worked'. Its a Mark Luhn oil pump with a Butler filter relocation kit. M.S.D digital6 ignition with a pro billet dizzie. and. at the moment NGK BCPR7S plugs

[Dragncar]

OK, so you can not post it but you could give the basics.
How much HP at what RPM.
How much tq at what RPM ?
Sounds like a nice engine.

Thank you for all of that information.

Is it possible for you to email me a copy of the dyno sheet?
