I currently have around 630 at the crank. Heads have already been milled down .030. Going back with a port, polish, roller rockers, ect will put it in the low 700's.patooyee said:
This Bill Baird? From what I have heard it wouldn't be much of a race. I've heard that engine is well beyond what anyone in this thread has yet posted. I've heard that motor is in the 700+hp range.
Are you saying you are bill Baird or just that that's what you plan to do to combat people like him? Sorry if this seems like a dumb question but I've seen your posts for a long time, even pmed you a few times, but not sure I've ever actually seen your real name.Mortalis5509 said:I currently have around 630 at the crank.

To combat those who are in the 700+ range I plan to run in low range. 1.41low, 5.43 diffs, and with a 4l80 will carry some speed.
2nd - wanna say 70mph
3rd - around 100 mph
4th - stupid theoretical 140
Then for the rocks I have a 3.01 low to use. Should be enough to keep up.
He's not Bill. He's talking about racing against high hp like Billpatooyee said:Are you saying you are bill Baird or just that that's what you plan to do to combat people like him?

patooyee said:I'm just figuring highest transmission ratio in low range / fastest wheel speed since that seems to be where so many lack and are concerned. For SE wheeling with a V8 you don't really need a deep crawl ratio. Anything around 30:1 in first gear seems to do fine, V8's seem to have plenty of low end torque to handle 30:1 with an auto crawling and make anything much more useless or needless. Since going lower in 1st gear means also going lower in 3rd or OD it is the upper gears that people find out they don't have enough wheel speed and where the OP was most concerned.
Edit: That was a lot of words to just say that the OP was concerned that he wouldn't have enough wheel speed with a 3.8 case. So since wheel speed was his question it was the top gears where wheel speed occurs that I was calculating for.
I doubled the length of mine with 205:1!redneckengineered said:I can remember the good old days when having over 100:1 crawl ratio added inches to your ****

Not Bill. We have talked in pm's, so forth, and uga fans/alum. I have a build thread for the car, just need to bump it.patooyee said:Are you saying you are bill Baird or just that that's what you plan to do to combat people like him?

That's what I have/plan for the higher hp guys. It's a solid axle car though. My name is Tripp Jernigan and have never held a mic while screaming some sort of descriptive comentation.

redneckengineered said:They are Mast sheets. Crank #s. My engine is a hand built forged stroker and hers is the drop in kit. I don't know many guys making 530 HP to the ground in a rockcrawler and who compares those numbers anyway other than car guys? Way too many variables.

To get dumb power is size, fuel, compression for na, or forced induction.redneckengineered said:Cubes, big heads, and big cam. IMO, you're just out of the NA pump gas realm at 700hp on an LS motor. I'm going to say a 12:1 compression minimum, LS7 or LSX block, big heads and cam, all the other misc **** but those are the major points that will get you there.
Not naming names but I was recently told a 402 stroker motor (pretty much identical to mine) made 650hp. I asked the compression and the owner didn't know. I just chuckled to myself and walked off. You can practically sneeze on an LS and get to 500hp. 600hp+ NA takes $$$ and work.
edit: Mortalis is running a stroked LS3 drool I also would be interested in hearing about it.
