I've been without the car long enough lol. What kind of plugs should I go with?

Andy at ADM has had me use tr7ix in my 700 rwhp Maggie car & in my 1100 rwhp twin turbo car, I've never had a problem with them, I bounce back & forth between c16 & 91 octane with them.

Big hp numbers are cool to say you have but when things go wrong the mindset changes quickly!

Cool! That's what I was hoping for

Worry, 'bout what? Doesn't everyone blow a couple motors ever couple months? Oh, that's not how it works. I would do a lot of research. It's amazing when you start digging how much info you can dig up. And ask customers lots of questions. Customers are honest, some shops aren't.

Now the trans might be a different story

Yeah I've kept up with your build and it really sucks to see all that happen to yours. I'd be beyond upset! Unfortunetly, if anything blows on me once I'm wiping my hands clean. I'm only 21 and I put enough of my hard earned cash into this thing, and I'm currently saving for a house. So my fingers are crossed. I'd hate to have a blown up project collecting dust and I'm sure nobody would buy it for a fair price with no motor. I'd be screwed.

You have time on your side. The best advice I can give you is use it. Use it to research all the aspects of what you want to do. I think it will be very beneficial.

Thanks, Jamie! Once the car is running we will be working on the tune through winter and plan on having it driving on the streets early April, I will most definitely do my research. Pretty much all parts are bought, ots completeing putting everything together. Trans is being put together, running new meth outfit and fuel lines, re-doing the plumbing for the blower in aluminum then its ready to go

It sounds like you have a good handle on everything. Should be sweet when it's done. If you don't plan on holding it wot for 10 seconds at a time the trans will be fine.

Gd luck!!

Thank you! :-)

I like shooting for 800rwhp with a last forever 416. They last a long time with no head lifting. The best part of the 416 is the torque curve which should be in the high 600's. Thats the fun part of the motor.

that isnt entirely true. It really depends on what kind of racing and compression ratio. Im over 1k on a stock block but I also understand I shouldnt be racing to 180+

[mcdoogle6969]

9.1:1 is my ratio
