Yup, I went with the H/O injectors as well, mainly because they were the same price as the stock type ones.

oh... guess I was getting a pretty sweet deal at $80 CDN for 5 runs...

Oh okay, just wondering cause I was told someone in my area inquired about something, and was trying to figure out who it was is all lol. But, if that crank isn't scored and can be polished up I'd pick it up for sure.

Yeah, I suppose power is just distance over time time load or something like that. The dynos that I know of can correct for weather conditions, but it is true about different dynos giving different results. Just saying for less than $100 it would probably give some valuable information, notably...

great white, you wouldn't happen to live in the Grand Bend area of Ontario do you?

What configuration was his truck? Regular cab long box, crew cab short bow etc.

But there isn't any way of knowing where that power is being generated. A dyno gives worlds of information that you cannot get from estimations. I talked to Bill for a long time not long ago, but if you don't got some numbers it's all speculation. It doesn't take very much power to go that fast.

Pretty much agree, you could put a REAL nice set of twins on there for less than that, and make more power with them.

The only thing I don't like about it is speculation. A mean dyno operator will ask you how much power you think you are making before putting you on the rollers. Seems as though he already set the bar without knowing how high he can jump.

Yup, coatings on the pistons are an absolute must in my books, but I like to go overkill. I don't think it would be enough to save from heavy side loads from a big stroke increase though.

Yeah, I actually forgot about the reflectiveness of the copper sheet, laser wouldn't work. I know you could drill out the bolt holes etc. fine, but I'm not sure about the cylinder bores. Copper is soft, but is it soft enough to cut with a good blade? If it is then I think that would be the most...

Water-jet should be pretty cheap as they shouldn't need to use any abrasive with it (main cost factor) but you could also get them laser cut. I know of a place that does nothing but water and laser cutting, but not sure if they deal with the public as they are not listed anywhere. I'd advise you...

I have been rather busy with the Dmax stuff, as that has an acceptable profit margin and I need money lol. Also I do not have the funds right now to make one. My machine shop never got a quote together for me, but they did tell me that they cannot water-jet that thick of material. There is...

As far as I remember talking with Scat, they do not do custom crankshafts. I have gotten a few quotes for custom cranks, they are $5000 with whatever stroke you want up to 5" IIRC. Cheapest billet cranks I found were about $3200. Custom pistons would be cheaper than custom rods. If you shorten...

I don't believe I will ever be out of the penalty box, but I will try to drag my butt to the shop and get the specifics for you tonight.

Wow, as far as that Tahoe goes, I'm surprised at how someone on Ebay actually knows how to take good pictures. Looks very good.

:eek: Looks like a slick idea for some billet badges :D

I am sorry that I have not updated in a long time guys. Funds are just not there right now, I am still going through with the build though, but am focused on other things right meow. It sure seemed like there was enough room for another 1/4" of stroke, but then it is not really a 6.5 anymore...

Get a 3500HD and you will be perfectly safe with that weight :)

Very impressive work! The cleaning is never as fun as the painting.
