Apparently my oil pump housing had a chunk missing from unknown debris, and my cam lobes had some wear. Good thing I bought the new Dyno-Mite cams! New oil pump with billet gears and backing plate of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Tucker Donating Members 669 Member For: 5y 5m 23d Posted 10/07/21 10:43 AM Author Share Posted 10/07/21 10:43 AM Surely this is boring after you've hit your lofty heights? 600kw is weak sauce for a barra these days. But I stand by my manual trans. I'm already in danger of losing the fun aspect with the clutch needed to handle it though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only do what I do for fun, not to make the ideal street car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eff xr6t Member 569 Member For: 11y 2m 24d Posted 10/07/21 01:21 PM Share Posted 10/07/21 01:21 PM My engine builder is a fan of US made stuff, and Howards seem to have a rep for being well finished billet steel rods. Was originally going to get Carillo rods, but there was a 4 month wait on those. Looked at Nitto, but the Howards are significantly cheaper. The G35-900 will only make 600rwkw absolute max, so I'll be well within safety margins. Not interested in massive turbosYeh you should be sweet then they will be plenty good enough for that. The set I know that broke was 1170rwhp through a powerglide 1300rwhp manual so think you have a good safety margin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Tucker Donating Members 669 Member For: 5y 5m 23d Posted 11/07/21 03:25 AM Author Share Posted 11/07/21 03:25 AM I think they're the sort of numbers the engine builder relayed to the shop. Mine will be interesting because its not peak hp that's the concern, it's peak torque low in the rev range (or lower than a typical big turbo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
