1997 s10 stepside
4.3l 4" bore 3.48 stroke
-21.1cc dish balanced
Speedpro pistons 9.2:1 comp
***stock rods and magnafluxed and shotpeened *** weak point?
balanced rotating assembly
Mellings high volume oil pump
Top end:
Comp Cams top end and custom cam
Ovate wire springs. GMPP stamped roller rockers
Cam card:
duration at .501" Int $ .501" EXH
tappet 271 266
Duration 215 210
LSA 112
Turbo
Master Power Journal Bearing T70 w/.68 exhaust housing
Cold: 2.5" pipes and intercooler into a 3" TB hat
Hot- Stock manifolds flipped w/ similiar X-over as to the sy/ty's
3" turbo back, no muff or cat
MSD 6al-2 2step with Tr6 plugs
Motor made 353whp 397ft lbs on 9psi
12.5psi n more tuning pulled 402whp
21 degrees max timing with no meth and 93 octane
Nv3500 5spd transmission
Centerforce pressure plate and clutch disc
Ford 8.8 rear w/caltracs
Custom steel driveshaft and safety hoop
Draglites with 275 60 15 Et Streets and skinnies
12.13@113mph 1.68 60ft
Best 60ft was 1.65 and best mph was 115mph
Towards the end of the day it just got warm and the track slowed down. Starting running rich around 10.8ish and i think that killed my mph. First time at the track ever and finally got got launching off the twostep.
So three years its been and through all the problems and headaches she is/was finally done. The last sunday out with her I blew a head gasket so now its bak to the parts lists and months of winter work now ahead. So questions for my syty guys
How far can you push the stock manifolds?
I'm guessing the shotpeened rods would be weak point over 450whp?
Basically i'm trying to take my setup to the new level without incurring huge costs. If i could spend 1500-2k in a rebuild i'd like to see 500whp or its fine if my setup is pushing it already and for 1000k just put it back together.
