Stony Posted April 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Last of many before i decided to go under the knife Quote Link to comment
Stony Posted April 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Got the motor stripped down to the long block last night. I have to pick up a pulley puller today so I can get that ATI damper off. Then the cams and head... tonight should have a good idea what is causing my leak :> Thanks goes out to ANDY @ rbz32.com for hooking me up with a cometic HG thing looks pretty good. Hope to have everything back together and back to the dyno soon for some more tuning. Once we get it close I can concentrate on all the safety crap that has to be updated to run at the track.

Stony Posted June 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Well made it to the dyno. made 557 rwhp at 9K pumping only 18psi!!!!! unfortunatley it developed a miss in the higher RPms that looks like it is heat related ;< Here is a video of one run towards the end with the miss. It still made 520 but had to cut it off at 7500 due to the miss. enjoy Quote Link to comment

ariascarlos1990 Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 pretty sick! how hard would it be to put and rb26 into my 620? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 Ahhh the age old dilemma. Is it, 'can it be done?' or 'should it be done?' A 620 hp 620.... the mind boggles at the thought. Quote Link to comment
