Congrats! We have (at least) TWO champs amongst us! See Don Graham's post here http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=18366&highlight=champion And then there's this rookie here, (cometgt1974 or something )who's running an unleashed 347 with 250 dope. He's doing pretty good too. see vid link for his first nitrous outing --> http://mmb.maverick.to/gallery/misc.php?do=downloadfile&i=1066 and thread i.d. http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=17721&page=1&pp=20 There's a few more haulers in here you can relate to. All good guys. BTW, how many horses you thing the Danny Bee frees up (danged expensive @ $725 +TT&L ). edit: cool vid
thanx for the threads rick on the belt drive, i really got it for smoothing out the harmonics and ease of cam advancing/retarding u can do it in 5 min. kaase's got em for 700.00
Ha! I thought you said that Kaase's got em for $700.00! My 347 is internally balanced. I bet one of them things would feel right at home in there. (gone to ebay) (back from ebay - no luck). Interesting (but WAY outta my league).
I'll be at Carolina Dragway this Thursday night for T&T weather permitting...couple of us are coming out of the Charleston area...gonna see if we can warm that track up a bit
I saw a similar setup for a SBF...belt drive....and had a mount at the end of the camshaft for a mech. fuel pump (sprint car). I belive KFI made it, cant remember. Anyway, good to see another racer on board! Those Kasse heads.....I looked pretty hard at them a while back. But, they were new at the time and I wanted to wait for someone to provide some real-world feedback about them before I plopped down $2k+ on a set of heads, VC's, special pushrods and everything else that goes with it. Seems if a guy was going to spend that kind of ca$h on heads, they'd be better off going with a set of aftermarket canted-valve heads (Neal, C3's, etc) that are capable of close to 400 CFM fully ported, maybe more. I've personally seen some nascar-takeoff C3's make over 2000 HP on a turbocharged 422" SBF, so they do work. Getting it to the ground was a challenge at best. My E-heads are still box-stock. Maybe I can afford to have them hogged out someday. Wonder if it's even worth it.
might have worked betta on a large cube smallblk. 302-347 is 2 small for that kinda of flow. the funnelweb intake is rad though. i plan on puting it back on when my 739roller is reground. hoola back if u have any tips/new combo's. always will run small block format
