atomicfusion1647545515 Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Got the call the other day, and I wanted to make sure it was on the way before I made the announcements, but the new ERL powerplant is on its way to the shop right now and should be going in the car next week! We will be getting the car ready for tuning passes and should be out at Norwalk testing soon. The next planned race is August 5th at Milan for the points series (I am currenlty 4th in points) and after that will be September 2nd for the next Milan points race and then the NMCA LSX Race will be September 9-11 in Bowling Green KY (Currently 1st in points) The new engine is: ERL Superdeck 427 aluminum block (125lbs lighter than current block) (partially filled so no more street driving after this change ) All Pro Heads with Jesel Rockers Callies Dragonslayer Crank Callies Rods Weisco Pistons 10.2:1 Compression Allpro 4500 Cast intake Todd Berry Elbow Accufab 105mm TB Solid Roller cam (engine is setup to spin to 8800) 106mm Billet Wheel Garret Turbo This motor has gone low 7's at nearly 200mph in a 3300lb Camaro and has been improved fromt that setup for this year.

AWW$HEEET Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 not to be a dick, but what was the hangup with the engine builder? wasn't this due early in the spring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 cant wait to see the new number, very sad to see this is not going to be a "streetable" car anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomicfusion1647545515 Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Well, we didn't really drive it that much on the streets anyway... I will still have the "street" motor as well, but really my goals required a more agressive setup. As for the engine builder, I guess they just had too many customers in front of me...

Who gives a shit how streetable it is, 7 anything at 200mph is awesome. Imagine how streetable it will be at 6.xx sec. :gabe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hal Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 I have to say I'm sad it won't be streetable anymore. It looks like you're well on your way to what you want out of your car, so that's all the really matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atomicfusion1647545515 Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Finally not using those out of the box trick flows good luck man Hope ya make it I have never owned any Trick Flow heads... the other motor has custom built LS7 style ETP heads. They actually flow better than the LSX-Race head, but these All Pro heads are even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomicfusion1647545515 Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Just out of curiosity, how many passes/seasons do you see out of a motor? The motor that is in it ran all season last year (roughly 200 passes) and we tore it down over the winter and Livernois said it needed nothing! Well, I had them do rings and bearings anyway and have run it all season this year with 0 issues. Tomorrow morning it will come out and go on a stand to be my "backup" motor for long haul races. I've been told 200 passes is about all you should see, then they need to be refreshed, but I believe that it would have been fine to run this season as well. Tuning is the key, if the motor is tuned properly there shouldn't be any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
