Reply to "Bad valve spring day.."

Oh Hell no! The new engine will probably make even more power! LOL Probably twin charge it, twin turbos with an 8-71 on top sounds about right. I'd have to modify the upholstery and rear window a little to clear the blower belt lol.

I should be able to make all the power I need without having to spend an exorbitant amount of money on my valvetrain, because I won't need to rev it so high! LOL

Honestly, I'm not sure what I'll build it into. The power IS addicting, but I KNOW I don't use all 650 HP, and I know I'd be happy with less.

1Rocketship, thanks for the suggestion. In my care the engine won't see 8000 rpm, i know this for sure, especially since my tach doesn't work, but I just don't rev my stuff that high.

Maybe if I can figure out how (or find someone who can help me) to tune my ancient Haltech ECU, (I've been told it IS possible) I can set a reasonable rev limit.

The car is running acceptably at present, albeit very rich. It WOULD be nice to actually get a real tune, but next year the electronics are all getting upgraded anyways, so again, how far down the rabbit-hole do I want to go before I get to rebuilding?

The new engine will be specifically built with knowledge I've obtained from you and others here on this forum, and will be spec'd out to make big power but also last a long time.


Now that you have had a taste of the forbidden fruit - can you ever be satisfied with anything less?
