Tom, what do you think about the Big Chief heads? any idea what cam is in that motor?

Re: Sterling is testing the Rtech Twin Blower now!
Tom,
Congratulations on the preliminary test results! To make those numbers early on in the development phase is quite an accomplishment. Continued success in this project. Bob |
Re: Sterling is testing the Rtech Twin Blower now!
Thanks Bob, we always want more but it's nice to start high. We have already had a request to detune this setup for wedge heads and less cam. That would make a nice poker run engine. I just happen to have the cam. :D
Gary: The Big Chief heads are mandatory for the big numbers. The trouble is most spread port heads are designed for drag racing NA and have very small chambers. I don't know what cam was in this engine, but by the look of the torque curve it isn't done yet. |

Um.... nope! Congrats Tom. Those are great numbers to start with! |
Re: Sterling is testing the Rtech Twin Blower now!
Any idea what the Sterling/PSI HP and TQ and boost curves look like to compare?

Re: Sterling is testing the Rtech Twin Blower now!
thats some big hp, congrats, i wonder what they will do with more development and tuning time? 2000 isnt far off :eek:

Re: Sterling is testing the Rtech Twin Blower now!
Tom, those numbers are incredable, and you've only just begun. :D I have no doubt that you will achieve your goal. Thanks for sharing with us. Keep us posted.
