Still stock short block(90k mile 2 years ago) rod bolts,rods,block,crank,pistons,and the ring gaps are untouched. Everyone seems to be talking about these needing to be opened up since that HotRod artice, and it may be a good idea, but we haven’t done it and this still lives.
I think, we are pushing a stock short block harder than anyone, ever has!!
This engine has held up to alot, same one form DragWeek last year, same one from the 9.27 earlier this year at the SouthDakota Track, and this 8 sec run is after 4 other attempts, at 9.106, 9.125, 9.124. and a 9.08.
The eighth mile runs are crazy numbers, also. 5.70, 5.80, 5.81, 5.78, not in any order. With a high of 122.xx mph in the 1/8 th.
The old style 88 seems to be falling off at the top, I think if we had a 4.8 or a 5.3 we could push to a part of the compressor map that would gain a bit. But maybe it is time for a 50 shot in front of this 88
