Here’s what I and my motor builder propose to do build 2 496 n/a, dart pro 1 cnc heads, around 10.2 compression. They guarantee 625-650 hp@ 5000. And will stand behind it!
This should be a pretty reliable combo I could afford to go to 575 darts or 598s but its probably not worth the extra 20 to 25 grand for the extra 10 mph and reliability go's out the window also I would surely blow drives. I will have Bam or Huber do the tranny. I will most likely use the TRS drives this year and be gentile and get konrads later. What do you think? I live with 65to70 for now save the money for fuel Ha Ha Really enjoy your feedback and will keep you posted on the progress, Im also redoing the cabin area and wanting to spruce up the gel coat.
