Looks good to me.

if you atr too hot you can have basicly as you described and the area around the bead got too hot and it will look like the bead is setting in a big recess. He could also be referring to pourosity, where there are inpurities that will cause pits or pours. This type of weld is contaminated and...

ls7 is a poor example of a cost effective way to make 500bhp. You could buy a complete ls1 swap with ecu, harness, t56, and get a heads and cam package from texas speed and have more power than an ls7 for less than the cost of the ls-7 crate motor alone. So the real question is can you make...

compression ratio is the ratio of the cyl at maximum volume(piston at the lowest point) to minimum, piston at the top. The way to lower this is to increase the combustion chamber volume at tdc. This can be headgasket thickness, head chamber volume, or piston dish volume.

The company that does ITBs is close to that on stock longblock +cams and itbs. They are around 330whp iirc.

You would have to search for it if you cared, but an reputable Nissan tuner known as enthalpy on the boards took a nissan sr20det and went from a log to a full race tubular. At a low power point(300ishwhp), the car gained 30+ hp on the same tune. I think a non equal would have done close to what...

IIRC there is a place in the us that specializes in toyota trucks. The currently have a flywheel/clutch combo for ~400 and the flywheel alone was ~$200. last I checked they were working on bellhousings. For the life of me I cant remember the name of the place.

A lot of people say Full race gets the bucks because they are full race. This is true to an extent. But they have built a reputation to earn these bucks by having top notch construction, great support and they dont just stick with a basic design. Their manifolds go through many revisions both in...

if running toluene, mix it with a lubricating agent, a cap full of dexron and a quart of toluene mixed with a tank of gas works well.

Sorry about the luck shattering the motor. On a positive note, your swap looks nice and great output.

Im sure we'll lose it soon enough.

Cali just has 91. The rest of the US, or atleast here in the midwest, 93 is fairly common and some sonoco have ultra 94.

That is our rating. It is my understanding that per given actual octane, our gas will have a lower rating, but I dont know the exact rating. I believe e-85 is something like 115 ron but 110 r=m/2. I may be totally off on those numbers as I dont have an interest in e85 but I do recall the ron...
