Did you get that private message?

Ok, will do.

Cool! Pick would be great too, I was going to ask if it had the spring loaded pop off or a place for a burst panel on it? I guess I'll see when I get the pics huh? LOL

Question, will we be able to pay by card?

Thanks,

Wayne

Hi Roo, it's not a huge rush or anything but I just wanted to follow up with you and see if you figured out what you wanted for that yet.

Talk later,

Wayne

Ok, let me know.

sweet! What do you need to get out of it?

Yea....son of a bird dawg... This is prove more complicated than parts selection. That's all building 500 strokers was about, and lost of clearancing for aluminum rods. I guess I'll be talking to the machinist that's going to bore it for us to cut the grooves in the deck. Dang it! LOL

Again, ANYONE knowing about a used hemi blower intake, please let me know.

Thanks for everything so far,

Wayne

excellent, thanks Jeff. Maybe I am going to be o-ringing this pain in my butt.

Typo, the condensation WOULDN'T be able to happen if the fuel wasn't running cooler.

Jeff, CRAP, I'm not o-ringing this block. Not now at least. You can buy those copper head gaskets that have something more to them than just a sheet of copper. Maybe others have had success with that?

dreracecar. For sure methanol runs cooler but I suspect the probe is reading condensation. The condensation would be able to happen if the fuel wasn't running cooler but I have a feeling were' talking about two different things. Since I figured how how to go fast NA, I've always used methanol and will never use gas again if I have a say in it.

I'm feeling like we'd better run 12:1 or just shy. I've always been a high compression believer but I respect the opinions I've heard here and I think 12:1 or even 11:1 would be a good  compromise. Like one member said, a 671 has it's limitation.

How about a hemi blower intake? That's the one thing we're struggling to find used. Any tips would be awesome.

And that reminds me of the other question I forgot to ask. I've always used the good Felpro gasket for NA, what do you guys that run blowers use for head gaskets?

excellent info! I'm cool with lower compression if that's the ticket.

I forgot to mention before, we need a hemi pattern blower manifold....I'm having a hard time understand why of all combinations THEY would be scarce but I'm not seeing any yet. Ideally used so save some money.

We picked up a blower and hat at a nice price but we need an intake. Standard 426 Hemi intake pattern, and 671. Ideally used.

Thanks..

Excellent, thanks for the response. So you think with a stripped 671 and 12:1 would be a little low? If so how much? Your personal opinion on it is fine. Thanks for the cam info too.

Hi, I've been using fuel injection (Enderle Bird) and methanol for many years but I've never had the opportunity to do a supercharged application until now. We've got Duster bodied tube chassis car that weighs right around 2600 pounds. Loose converter, hopefully it's appropriate for the situation, and we picked up a stripped 671 and an additional Bird with the "K" series barrel valve. It's been suggested that it'll need to at least be respooled or just use the cube. We use iron 440 Block, bored and stroked to 500" and Stage V Hemi conversion heads. We'd like to see some low 8s and maybe an accidental 7 would really make my life complete.

I understand that a good blower cam, like a good nitrous oxide cam, is rather specific to supercharging. We have a very aggressive solid roller that I need to see what the specs are...maybe it'll get us by.

My first question to the blower guy was "what compression ratio should we use?" He said that with methanol you can go all the way up to 18:1 but he suggested we'd maybe want to stick around 12:1 and start by spinning the blower 25% overdrive. Fine with me if that's correct.

So those are the question I need to start with, you guys may need more info but I need to start by know what compression ratio will be the most friendly so I can get pistons and rods ordered. We're going to need lots of parts and we also don't yet have a blower intake. So if anyone has some good used stuff we can use, let me know.

Thank in advance,

Wayne
