Hey Clayton. That 377 cid chevy made 1560hp on alcohol with 38psi of boost. Money is no object to this man. It is in a car that currently holds a NHRA record of 6.51seconds@209 mph.

MR4WD 8400RPM balanced to 9200rpm!!!! what internals are you running in this thing i'm really interested to find out and do your heads make power at that rpm? just curious fill me in on your combo! thanks

Oh if you want Ii run an engine shop in Calgary we would be willing to give you a free dyno day on our engine dyno just to see it go to 8400 rpm!!!

Christ, it's been 4 years since the oil pan's been off of that engine, and about 3 since I've had the receipts stating what's in it.

"Hell if I know" in all honesty... The engine falls flat on it's face at 6500 or so, but that's partly ignition, partly heads stop flowing.

Get me a set of heads (I'm leaning towards holley) and a new cam, pull it out of the truck and bring it down to calgary from my house and you've got yourself a deal.

For the time being, I'm saving my pennies for a set of assembled heads, new cam and a base for a 6-71 (small, I know, but can we say free?)

With a 900 stall converter, the engine would roast the tires from a stop into 3rd gear (through a 400, and 14 w/5.13's)

Ahhh yes 'Bar stool' horsepower is often diffrent than 'Dyno' horsepower...

you mean a 1900 stall don't you?

God, I hope so...or 2900

HAH! Nope, that was with the stock 900 stall. I went against my own lousy judgement and put a super heavy duty stocker in. Now, it's got a 2800 converter.... Before, the truck would get it's ass kicked launching, and just barely throw mud. Now, it's a super hard launcher and it throws mud for 60 feet or so.

a stock bbc converter is 1800 rpm stall! 900 is to low for anything!

Well, it's actually supposed to be an Allison 5spd torque converter, which works with a TH400. I know very little about trannies, and even less about torque converters. I was told it was 900 RPM. How come you can buy 1200-1500 RPM converters? Why would you want to launch at a lower RPM than stock?

i've never heard of 1200-1500 converters but i will ask my buddy from ricks racing tranny's tomorrow at lunch.he's the TH400 man around here!

Ask him about Stage 2 transgo shift kits... Are they supposed to be able to lock the tranny in 1st, while 1st is selected? Or, will they let the governor run the tranny into 2nd?
