if your fear is loosing a motor, it would be best that you not SC. i don't have that fear, but then again, i'm not running crazy boost on pump gas. should i loose a motor, i'll just drop a crate motor in. no big deal. kevin

Kevin (kevbo10) do you always run the 95 octane plus add.?, if you run pump gas how does it run?

20 lbs of boost will get you what 765 rwhp on 116 octane leaded racing gas. kevin

Here you go, it was in our vender section:
New PUMP Gas Hemi power record???

It is a 426ci Stroker (7.0L) Hemi.

1. OMG look at the new SC setup from X! That's f'ing awesome!

2. Damn I can't afford anything like that.

3. Oh crap, even if I could afford a SC here's another post about blowing up an engine with boost- God Id never run a SC for fear of destrying my engine.

Rinse

Repeat

I have a #4 on my list that say:

4. My wife would be effin pi$$ed for months if I added something that voided the warranty and blew up the motor in my new $45k car

Blowing engines is actually pretty rare, but if you did, for about $5,000 you would have a bad AZZ forged engine and then you can make 700+HP!!

I dunno about you but an extra $12000 laying around just for ****s and grins isn't in most people's budgets, but at least your a glass is half full kind of guy

And that's just parts!!! tuning is extree!

**DCX Depot-Tim C** · #48 (**permalink**) 10-09-2009, 08:45 AM

I agree not in my budget either-LOL

You wouldnt believe the amount of cars here that customers have put $25K-$125K+ into.

So there is a strong market for it.

Some of the cars we build run Penske Shocks that are over $5,000 alone. $55K engines, $7K wheels, $4,500 intake manifolds etc.etc.
We also work with a Porsche tuning company, they charge $3,000 just to tune a Porsche. Just to put it into perspective.

Thanks,

Kev,

What kind of 1/4 mile times have you run since installing your 2.8 L Kenne Bell SC ?

You don't call 12 psi on a stock bottom end "crazy boost?" I beg to differ.
