Lol. All this extra time spent dabbling could have been better spent mowing lawns to save money to buy better parts to net a more powerful setup in the end

I’d like to see what a 5” down to the 102mm tb does to the velocity head and mass flow. Id like to find that nice balance of mass flow and velocity (for the time constraint) .

Yeah I took some of your idea and started tinkering with it. It makes use of the entire lower and kinda separates each bank and turns it from a bathtub to a tunnel ram.

Got a plate to try out with water/meth injection and using the other spacer as a shear plate. Anywho though it was cool...

Also been working on some more airflow mods...I call it the Dynamic InterCooler Knapsack (TM) cause we all like DICK......but it does rearrange the vectors within the quadrants of the port, most specifically within the upper quadrant along the shear plane of the injection phase.

Give us an update on everything else.

Is the rest of the motor assembled? Is the rest of the truck ready to drive?

No everything else is still in pieces....I broke my shoulder earlier this year (setting off a acute gall bladder attack) and finally went to the doc...found out it was broke had surgery then knocked my self out when I passed out and slammed my head on the edge of the tub. This time was wicked I was out for a full minute my wife said and I was having a seizure from it. When I came to I didn’t know who I was who she was or where I was.(surgery and head injury set off another acute gall bladder attack) (I’ve lost 35lbs in like 2 weeks of solid mass and I thought I was legit dying) So here I sit with 4 holes in my gut and arm in a sling....nothing to do but tinker and be thankful to be alive...

Jamie's had a rough go at things as of late, so I am thankful to watch him still post. Eventually the S10 will make it to the rollers, but until then, tinker on!

My God so sorry to hear. Prayers for your full recovery buddy. I thought my cancer deal was bad but it's been 5 yrs now and I am loving every single day! Life is better than good!!! Just chill for the moment and get let your body heal. You can be better than before. I'm proof and we're all very similar. Be blessed and hang in there!

It’s cool it could always be worse....I really wish I could take back the passing out and whacking my head cause something isn’t right with that but otherwise I’m great. (I’d take getting the top of my head skinned off and hitting it in another vehicle accident 20times before I do another one of hitting the edge of the tub) Glad you got through your cancer man. I’m thankful and happy to be here and hopeful we can figure out this sensation.

Goodness gracious. Glad to hear you're recovering. That's a hell of a series of events.

Chambers smoothed...I still have to break hard edges on the casting holes. If you look at the head at the top you can see the edges smoothed and bolt holes chamfered.



Just enough sanding to remove the casting flash and give the thermal barrier coating a more consistent surface for more even coverage.

Porting front oil crossover....I’m softening the edges on all the oil passages
