wagner Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 Building a race car through work, this will be interesting.

BuckeyeROC Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 Nice man! That LS7 headed motor sounds sexy. Do you have cam specs yet? Or should I wait for the next article? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even know the cam specs yet, SAM hasn't told me what they are putting in there. COVID has made this project difficult so communication has been a challenge. I'm still waiting on a lot of parts and SAM hasn't been able to start the machining process yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk SAMTECH thinks it will make about 800 on the engine dyno spinning it to 7,500 on race gas. The biggest goal with this engine is reliability and ease of maintenance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wagner Posted July 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 Sounds about right. MIGHT be able to do 800 on 93, no? Depends on CR I guess. We're at like 13:1 I think on compression ratio. The type of fuel was actually the 2nd question SAMTECH asked about and they were very adamant about not using pump gas for the build. Could it be done, yes, but it really tightens up the tuning window to the point where if you make a Mcsteak bad things happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
