mild or hot street build?

[brian89]

My bro just did a build on his truck with 250/200 sticks, s467, modded idm,fuel and oil and supporting mods, as bad as i want to build mine bigger than that, i just don't know if i really want to, so looking at my options its either S467, s472, s475 with 250/200's or bigger, or a more mild build with s366 or maybe even a little bigger, maybe 250/100's both with fuel, oil, springs, push rods, modded idm and custom tunes at minimum, haven't done that much reseach but enough to be confused on which way to go, if i go big I'm going all out, but if i stay small i will be buying a 6.4 to build

How much of a gambling man are you?

 

[brian89]

Depends on the day, but normally, not really

 

[4.0l sahara]

Really I would base it on weather you are willing to except that it might blow if you go "big"

 

[brian89]

After years of seeing people build atv, dirt bike, street and drag car motors, i expect it to blow with the setup i have now honestly, I'm just looking to get some more out of my truck, i just don't know if i want a lot or a little

How did you run an 8.4 8th mile with just a tune??

 

[MINK]

Sell it and buy a tuned 6.4 - problem solved.

 

[brian89]

I didn't, my aeroforce is not a good replacement for the actual drag strip, but ill never sell this truck, but I'm really going to try and get a 6.4 when i graduate next month, but i really want to just buy a motor, build the motor and then find something to put it in, like maybe a pre-obs 7.3 or an obs truck

SO what truck and setup made the times you have posted in your profile? 4.51 for 0-60 and the 8.41`@ 72mph in the 1/8 mile?

 

[brian89]

Mine but i used the aeroforce but i don't have it setup for tire size, gear ratio, horsepower etc. so i have to get rid of those

 

[Groomzybanshee]

Yea.. Ride in a real truck that runs 8.40s you'll be happy

 

[brian89]

What would that be in the 1/4

 

[Groomzybanshee]

Low 13s? Prolly

 

[brian89]

Yea best i ever did was 15.4 in the 1/4 and that was in a mustang svo, my truck only ever went mid 16's, hopefully change that shortly

Biggest question is how much coin you want to chunk out.

 

[brian89]

It doesn't matter, its going to be a progressive build but i am going to pick a setup, set a budget and stick to it

What is the max power output from an s366 before it starts getting hairy?

Depends on housing, gate, gate size, and possibly injectors.

500 or less. 550+ has been done, ala powerstroke junkie, but you'd have to ask him. I believe he ran one with no gate and killed it FAST!!

 

[brian89]

It would be a gated 1.0 housing with 250/100 sticks

Dude, why 100% nozzles?
