Bigger mag for more power?
dreracecar:
One does not have to re-install and time the mag if you need to pull the heads. For Chevys and 392/417 type engine, if you bang the blower off the manifold it does not bend the magneto
gregm784:
No plug wires hanging down
can pull the intake without drama
easier to prime motor if needed.
Great spot to dump in 8 quarts of 'cold' 50w oil
Looks cool
all the chicks dig it

I'm sold!
Mister_Fitz:
I might try some Fuel next season. Just to make sure the 7 sec run will be there.
I have stock main caps, alu rods, forged steel crank and forged pistons. Around 14:1 in CR. Stack injected sbc.
I have read in Spuds nitro notes that above 25% the stock main caps might crack.
So around 20% seams to be "safe".
BUT, will my SprintMag handle this? Lets say the SprintMag will be recharged and in perfect condition.
Or do I have to move up to a SuperMag?
Spud Miller:
A good, tip-top Sprintmag will do fine for you at 20%.
Because of the compression ratio I'd put a quart of toluene in your 5 gallon jug of mixed 20% to help prevent detonation and cracked main caps. Especially if your cam is a fairly short duration grind with not a lot of overlap.
Have fun!
