LMAO!!!

46 huh? You act like a child.........

The guys here already know my sense of humor and instead of ripping you apart in that little diatribe above I'll take the high road and just let it go since you're much to far away to actually make something out of it.

 

FI increases VE and your Dynamic compression ratio. It doesn't increase "material" displacement such as boring and/or stroking.

Well the general consensus is that the 8.1 is not worth the trouble....so who was it that said "There's no replacement for displacement?" Parish maybe? Why doesn't he have the 8.1 then since I've seen him say it before?
How about an 8.1 with an STS? Do they even make a kit for the 8.1?

 

Better on stands than on the floor.


Matt is that you?

 

im gonna buy a cc HD long bed and put a 4.8 in it. screw you guys.

 

So Gm should of said to the R&D of the LS1 design is not worth it, too much work. It's easy to just stick with the LT4?? Its not worth the work. I am glad, Some people have a better work ethic.

F8L Z71: Whenever ready enter that half-ton in a truck pull, let me know. Will see how much you back it up. Have you ever enter a truck pull??? Scared!!!

 

Lil too redneck for me old chap.

Scared no, didn't build a truck for that plain and simple. Had I wanted to I'm sure I could have built one. No one that I know of around doe them. You guys have any video of it? I bet there is some cool footage of lesser truck carnage.

 

For every atmosphere of boost you add, you effectively double you displacement. So...

346ci @ 15 psi = 794ci
408ci @ 15 psi = 816ci
408ci @ 30 psi :crazy: = 1224ci (must stop snorting crushed up breath mints)

I don't see a H/C 8.1 keeping up...

Ever wonder why those GN guys run like bats outta hell? They figured this out a long time ago. They keep thier 6cyl and add more TURBO to go faster... (I've always hated em... But in a good way What used to cost me $6000 on my NA motor cost them $700!)

 

Great info!
