plans are changing because I bought a dedicated puller. I've got two different setups that I cannot decide between.
I want to keep costs down to some extent (which is kinda why I want to keep some of the parts I have i.e.: 66 turbo). I will probably be towing a 25' trailer with the pulling truck on it throughout the summer, but other than that, I want a reliable but very very very fun truck for the street. Still looking for 600-650 hp and I do not want to do twins.
Please let me know which setup you're thinking and/or any suggestions. I've got a good idea, and I've had some help from some good guys (Charlie, Brian, Ryan) on this new "build," if you will, but I'd like some more input please. I've done so much searching, but everything is running together….I keep getting greedy for more power, but I know reliability/drivability wont be there with a lot bigger set up (I don't mind having to fluctuate the skinny pedal or a little smoke, but I don't want it to be a DOG everywhere except at 4K rpm…..)
1st setup:
66/83/.9 t4
t4 manifold
160 pump
.024 dv's
stock lines
5x.016's
arp 425's
o ringed head
14 mm mains
stock pistons/cam/rods/crank (balanced)
60 lb valve springs
18-20* timing
2nd setup:
64/73/14
5x.016's
160 pump
.022 dv's
stock lines
stock pistons/cam/rods/crank (balanced)
stock head
o ringed head
arp 425's
17-18* timing
Thanks guys
