Congrats John on your new best!!!

His car is no feather weight, John has picked up almost 1 full second since switching to the KRE HP Heads from his old Street Performer Edelbrock heads.

What is the story on the heads ? The E heads must have been pretty tame. Flow and mods on each ?

gman005 10-01-2017 09:35 AM

Thanks Everyone.

gman005 10-01-2017 09:37 AM

The car weighs 3500# with me in it.

gman005 10-01-2017 09:38 AM

The HP's flow 430cfm. There is still some tuning to do.

gman005 10-01-2017 11:51 AM

Yes the shoulder is doing Ok. Lol. It took long enough.

johnta1 10-01-2017 01:32 PM

Good job, John!

:)

Dragncar 10-01-2017 04:01 PM

That thing is moving. Can we get some info on the differences in heads and the build in general. Was the same cam used with both heads ? What was the cfm of the E heads ? 430cfm HP, so they are pretty serious.

grandville455 10-01-2017 05:18 PM

John, Where u shifting that beast?

Scott Stoneburg 10-01-2017 06:56 PM

That's really moving! Good job with the combo

Probird 10-02-2017 12:46 AM

Congrats John! That thing is flying.

Jeff Kinsler 10-02-2017 10:55 AM

good job. congrats!

gman005 10-02-2017 06:02 PM

The old motor was a stock block filled to the water holes. The E Heads I bought from Jeff V. back in 2005 and the cam I bought from his engine builder Jerry Loan. The head flowed around 330 cfm. The new motor is a 535 MR1.

gman005 10-02-2017 06:04 PM

I was shifting at 7000 rpm. Going to try 7200. I was going thru the lights at 8000 rpm. I think I am going to put my 390 gears back in.

gman005 10-02-2017 06:06 PM

The can in the new motor is a 850 lift and its a 55mm.

You might want to look into your converter, seems to be slipping a lot

JSPONT 10-02-2017 08:56 PM

Damn that's hauling the mail!!

BADDTA 10-02-2017 10:50 PM

Great job John! That's hauling :D

Brian

gman005 10-02-2017 11:21 PM

I was thinking putting my 390's back in.

gman005 10-02-2017 11:22 PM

How do I check how much the convertor is slipping?

Take your rpm at the stripe and compare it to what the number is when you take mph, rear gear and tire height.

Brian

BADDTA 10-02-2017 11:50 PM

John, how much power did your engine make?

Brian

gman005 10-03-2017 06:33 AM

We put the motor on the dyno when the heads flowed 400 cfm and it made 872 hp and I think it was 770 ft lbs of tq.

145.31 x 4.30x 336/29.5 = actual rpm(7116)
I didn't know what tire your running i guessed at 29.5 and if right your slipping almost 900 rpms on top, if taller its worse even.

BADDTA 10-03-2017 07:09 AM

Going by Darby's numbers, that's 11% slippage.

Brian

ponjohn 10-03-2017 07:52 AM

Mph is crazy. Are you running High Ports?

gman005 10-03-2017 06:10 PM

the tire is 30" tall.

gman005 10-03-2017 06:11 PM

Yes I am running HP's.

gman005 10-03-2017 06:14 PM

The convertor I am running is ATI 8" 5000 Stall with anti balloon plates.

So slippage is worse than 11%

Brian

Mike Kasparian,Sr. 10-03-2017 08:22 PM

Nice job John , 8 sec just around the corner .

slowbird 10-03-2017 09:11 PM

Grudge race Gman005 vs Kasparian :3gears::car: lol

Mike Kasparian,Sr. 10-03-2017 09:13 PM

Yea , maybe 2019 norwalk .

gman005 10-04-2017 05:54 PM

Thanks Mike.

gman005 10-04-2017 05:55 PM

I talked with Jeff Kauffman and ATI and they think it's the converter also.
