I'm looking to have a motor built pump gas stroker to run in the mid 10's in full bodied gs any advice would be helpfull
Idareya.... thats a loaded question!!!!!! Do you want the best? Or someone just good enough to get you where you want to go?
I'm in it to win it Ihave had some low 10 second turbo cars with stage 2 motor.I'm willing to put something good together, any ideas?
Look under engine build post in this section. Jim W. listed engine builders with contact info in that post. I don't remember if Earick racing engines was listed but are respected as are most of the others. Contact the engine builders with your needs directly and get some references from each. A full weight GS with pump gas engine to reach mid tens will be a very expensive engine. I would suggest you build a nice engine and put nitrous on it to meet your goal. I would say that mid tens on motor is going to be less than friendly to drive on a regular bassis at full weight with stock style suspension. A nice mid eleven second car with a small nitrous kit and you get the best of both worlds. I don't endorse any engine builder as I have always used local machine work and done the assembly myself (except one bad experience). The best builder is the one that will stand behind their work when there is a problem and they all will have a problem if they haven't yet. Ask for a reference that has had a problem and ask that reference how the problem was dealt with, I would bet that each builder can come up with a good reference that will sing their praises but the bad experience turned good tells the real tale.
idareya, I have a hydraulic cam motor listed in the "parts for sale" section for much cheaper then you can build one for and it will put a full weight GS in the 10's (it ran a best of 10.62 in my full weight GS). It was driven on the street and to and from the track for a while but I would run good gas unless you don't plan on running it hard. Mike carcrazy455@yahoo.com
Idareya - For what it's worth....best way to run 10's AND run pump gas - ATI Procharger with Intercooler!!! They've got a 1st Gen Camaro with a 454 running over 900hp on 91 octane!!:TU: :TU: BTW, what part of Upstate are you in? I know a couple of good engine builders - one in Ithaca and one in Syracuse.
