Why do people do a motor build, then sell car right after? - Page 24 - EvoXForums.com

Right, Chad has said that it flows 56-58 lbs/min. The green flows 54 lbs/min and the red flows 60 lbs/min, you do the math

I take all the stuff with a grain of salt.

All I know is I had a fpred at 33psi and an fpblack at 38psi. And scheides ran his bbx at 34psi and he was basically right in between the two, closer to the black by 10whp though.

But in the end, its all about the setup! My newest setup seems to really work and I feel like I am making more power than I should be according to the "numbers". Now that I can do a full pull without breaking up, I am closer to 650whp I think. I dynoed at 612 which was at like 6500rpms breaking up, so it sounds like that is the "highest" stock frame for an X but who knows or cares. Could be higher compression helping too etc etc.

All I know is I have seen plenty of setups that don't make sense and its stupid trying to compare. I do know that locally, same dyno same tuner the above comparisons were close.

What fixed the breaking up?

Gapped my plugs down to .018 from .022-.023 area. I was nervous gapping them lower as I was under the impression 22 was already tight but Jon D told me too and sure enough, perfectly clean pulls now. VD was showing over 650whp, like easily at 33-34psi (cold out

)

Ya know...I couldn't stop visualizing the engine as legos the whole time while reading this thread.

That's all they are anyway. Complicated legos. Actually, looking at some of the new lego sets motors may be simpler to build. lol
