Cam has PR&D parts. That's why he is calling out all the other vendors (except PR&D) to back up their products in a heads-up race, again. Cam, I wish I would be ready to run with you guys. But my install won't be done and I'll be in Hawaii during the Rumble II. Good Luck.

I wondering as well, Im expecting some good runs. I hope CV shows up, Same day/Same Track is a good thing. As far as that being a FRI 392 motor, I beg to differ, the only thing FRI on that motor is Heads. The cams a HHP, And the rotating assembly's not FRI either. Its a SVS Stroker, But it sure sounds mean as hell with cut outs. Wondering if Matt's car will be ready for the Rumble?

USCG Charger
12-27-2007, 09:50 PM
I thought Steve built that motor for him and he found out after CV build he would be sourcing the work out via someone local. That what Matts build was a Houston builder correct? I'm prolly wrong like always but that's just what I thought I read.

Whats the hold up on Matts car anyways? I thought they did that inspect on it a few wks ago?

Damn, wondered why my ears were ringing. :mrgreen:

I'm going to try my best to make this happen. I'll go ahead and register, and plan accordingly. I've got to leave a small window for an out though if work demands.

Trojan has the right of it; the head porting and valves are FRI. The springs and retainers are HHP, as is the cam. The rotating assembly is a Callies/CompStar large kit. The block was first worked by FRI, and then retouched by SVS. Everything else is SVS R&D. Jason, it arrived as an all FRI build, but the above is how it ended up.

As for Matt... I'll won't presume to speak for him. I will say, however, he won't be ready for this event. :doh: :sad:

PS: Be ready to drive it Cam/Chris. I'm terrible at it (and I'm pretty sure I've got 200lbs on ya Cam), so it wont be a fair compare unless you gents do your best behind the wheel.

Ok thx for the clean up post Jason...... thats what I thought it at least started out as a FRI 392... so that makes me not completely crazy. lol.. Why did you change the internals out of the HEads you had from FRI? Were they damaged during ur mishap a while back?

I hope all goes well w/matts car.... I'm itching to see what these cars #'s are gonna be.

Jason

CoolVanilla
12-27-2007, 10:59 PM
That was essentially a requirement of HHP's; in order to run their Stage 3 cam, they strongly suggested we upgrade the springs/retainers to the Manleys/custom Ti stuffs, so we did. The valves are still the same valves supplied by FRI.

Guys, please do not turn this into something it isnt. I was clearly just having fun with everyone. Me and Josh have been talking way more trash than that on the phone with each other and me and Stu have done the same. The truth is that I think they are all really good heads and will perform very evenly. I put lol at the end of that statement so this wouldnt happen.

Your absolutely correct, I forgot about the mopar heads, they could very easily surprise all of us and win the entire shootout. Actually, now that I think about it, how do you define a win? I dont think you can in this case. The heads that make the most peak power isnt the winner is he, I would think we are looking for average power across the curve. Anyhow, there will be lots of good info coming from this comparo.

Would you "cherry pick" a set of heads if you would have known? What differences would you have made?

If we would have been told to build the best set of heads possible for a 392 with no budget, yes, we would have put different valves in, coatings on the valve stems, coatings in the combustion chamber, and maybe even a little bowl work, but that wasnt the case. A customer called us and wanted a set of our stage 3 heads, so that is what we sent, from there, it turned into a shoot-out. Its no biggie, all of the extra work we would have done is more so geared towards longevity and not so much towards performance. It will be good to see the results, I owned a set of the THS heads, so I know they will perform and I am sure the guys at BES know how to port heads, so I am sure they will perform well also. The mopar heads have performed great on fast56k's car so I am sure they will be good as well. My prediction is that the highest hp heads will make no more than 7hp more than the lowest hp heads. Tq could be all over the place.

I would have to think just the fact that it probably can't be done in the same day with different conditions and a different tune has to be done for each set up and one set may react better with the cam thats in there now, everything may be all over the place

With the sae corrections, I dont think different days are going to hurt too much.

What about different head and cam combonations that work better than others. I don't even know what cam he is running but like your stage 3 heads are suppossed to work best with your stage 3 cam correct. Well will your stage 3 heads work that good with someone elses stage 2 or 3 cam or a custom grind maybe not designed for your heads ???
I'm just curious and just watching and asking questions cause I still have my own engine to deal with before spring and the more we learn the better. Sometimes there is more to things than just whats on the surface.

its easy to to think that our heads will perform better when used with our cam, but how do you differentiate between whether its the cam thats making the extra power or if it is the heads in conjunction with the cam. They are using the HHP stage 3 cam, so with hhp knowing the specs on the cam, it probaly does give them a little advantage, but I dont think it is a huge advantage.

On my car I'll be running PPP stage II heads w/a custom grind cam.... So I'll answer ur question later Al..lol... I thing the biggest concern w/ a different cam not made for this exact head is spring pressure... I want a huge cam in my stroker but not sure what the Stage II heads can handle.

What lift would be considered big enough to upgrade springs

PPP-Tech
01-01-2008, 03:44 PM
its not just the springs, but more so making sure the install height is correct. What springs are you currently running?

Our stage 2 heads will be fine up to .650 lift, but the rockers will limit you to less than that.

I was just relayin kinda what Stu told me... we were goin over some cam ideas w/my stroker and I wanted a huge lope on the car... so he simply stated that he has to talk to Andy and make sure the heads PPP is sending that their springs can handle such lift.... I want a mean muscle car sound on my Dart.

Alright bad news for me guys. I personally am a for sure no go, and now the car is for sure a no go, also. Nothing's wrong with it! So no worries there (thankfully!!)

But in full truth... well the one person I would trust to drive it that far, and pay to fix any (and I mean ANY) damage they caused, is out for work related reasons. And the other person I'd trust to trailer it and pay to fix ANY damage they caused it is also out. I'm simply not willing to trust anyone else unless I had a signed blank check in my hands when I handed her over... and even then the jaws of life would need to be used on my fist clenched around the keys. I think you guys can respect and understand that.

So, I and the 'Bean will need to catch you at the Spring Festival. Looking at that list fullofit_ put together though, I'm glad to see it doesnt look like our absence will be too badly felt.

Have a blast and run 'em hard!

You mean it's your truck IF the Sharadon trans is installed - otherwise you will run Nathan's monster?

Are you going with the 545RFE Stage 3? Sounds like this is going to suck up all your time between now and then... :wink:

Well I just happened to have a Sharadon tranny in my shop that a customer agreed to let me use and when my trans comes back it will go in his truck. He is waiting on parts anways.

All the customer cars are waiting on parts so tomorrow morning I will drop my motor and tranny in the truck. Tomorrow night I pick up some engines for customers and they will get knocked out pretty quick. Everything in my shop should be running by the end of next week.

Well I completely understand you not coming out, I suppose it is more than a little scary to face all the rowdy southern cal boys and girls at the same time and place the Arizona LX crew is on hand to really whip some azzz

oh and besides you are wise to be afraid of our special guest Chuck, He has informed me he is not a bit worried about racing people that dont show up...
http://www.phoenixpd.org/police/race_shamu_georgia.jpg
Perhaps you are wise not to come and face the likes of him in a grudge match. Dont worry he will have Dan around to race, Dan ain't afraid of any owner.. even the ones you wont face....:chickdance: Lieutenant Chuck Williams of the Phoenix Police will be taking on any that are brave enough to run their mouths and still show up. If you would like to reserve a Grudge match with him do so now I do not know how many will have the chance to have the LAW laid down upon them at the Rumble.

Really when was the last time you had a chance to have your car in a video racing a black and white and not be on "COPS" at the same time...
