Separate names with a comma.
Sounds like timing (retarded) to me too. That combo should work fine with the 110 pump (as long as it is good). I would think you blower OD...
Back in the Pro Comp days we pushed ours 8000-8500 but had a smaller cam (703 lift) and 1.7 rocker ratio.
Don't feel bad, I have been out over 35 years but still enjoy following many of these conversations.
You will have more power than what I had back in 1978-80. We used 1/2" head studs on a truck block so it could serve as a back up for a Rodeck...
What size head studs?
Trailer tire issues suck worse when you don't notice them right away. I remember a crewmember saying "there is a skid mark as far as I can see...
There were a few low buck teams back in the Pro Comp days that used PO. It made some flame, smelled like a can of Kiwi Shoe Polish, and often...
Is 11-89 a date?
Interesting how very close that is to what I ran in a 440 Rodeck w/ solid cast aluminum heads, 8-71 (40% OD), Enderle 110, back in 1980. I had...
I had a .090 BBC 472 Cu In (truck block) that rotated duty with a Rodeck. We sleeved and ran it in a AADA (1979). The engine had ~11 -1...
The gear and trans ratios that have been recommended should help the engine burn some more fuel (and make some more power).
I think Jay has a point. Back in 1980 I watched a competitor in Pro Comp run 6.85-205+ (Low ET and Top Speed) hazing the tires slightly about 2...
Personally I am not sure I would add any more nitro with that much compression. However, I would get a second (or third) opinion.
Can you give more info on the engine RE Compression, iron or aluminum block/ heads, blower size and OD, hat and or port nozzles, etc.
I used a Cloyes double roller in a Rodeck AADA w/o any issues for 2 years.
3/8" head studs? If so 1/2" could help.
You could probably go to a 150 main jet and test it 1/8 mile. Take baby steps.
Back when I ran a similar setup, most preferred the Super Mag II over the Vertex. But since there is better stuff today, I would go with Mike...
Yes, but it was blown alcohol and not for street use (and almost 40 years ago). I have no experience with oval port heads (other than on the tow...
A 500" BBC (10.5 -1 or 11-1 compression) with just an 8-71 (up to 40% OD) and 110 pump should run 7.0s at 190 (4.5 at 150+) safely. Cubic inches...
