BadAss SRT-Z - 2.4L / A568 - Update!!!

[BadAssPerformance]

LOL! thanks... I'm guessing the WHP guess of 380-ish is realistic? I'm doubting the 588!

[BadAssPerformance]

pics...

[BadAssPerformance]

Where was the boost? Notice the exhaust leak around the #4 exhaust port?

HG looked ok, so maybe it just got lifted?

[Turbo3Iroc]

What did you tq the studs to? moly?

[BadAssPerformance]

Ummm... the head was torqued down when I got it.. with moly tho.

What should they be torqued to?

[Turbo3Iroc]

I don't know for that engine but I think that's the symptoms you might see if thy weren't torqued high enough for the expected boost/power level.

[BadAssPerformance]

true... that or the fact it sat 3 years before using it?

[Turbo3Iroc]

I wouldn't suspect that being the issue. Also a good idea to retorque the studs after some heat cycles.

Maybe the angle of the HG pic but #2 doesn't look completely round to me. lay it over a fresh HG and see if there is any movement... 588 is sweet JT, take it to the bank man

Looks like an eddy current dyno from the pic. There are lots and lots of settings in those babies to make numbers all over the charts! I'd just put the 588 in your sig and feel like a bad --- Then just tell people that 120 mph runs are just at "half throttle" like all the "bad" big block boys like to do to protect their egos.

I think #2 was lowest on compression...

LOL, sounds like a plan

[dodgeshadowchik]

yep, i's just roll with it, JT!

be like the supra guys and thier 1200-1500HP dyno pulls... but yet they are stuck in the 10's.

nice pics, btw!

[BadAssPerformance]

Yeah, maybe there's some dyno settings they can do so the next pull is over 1000hp? LOL

10's, no way, more like 11's and 12's,


Your turning into me JT, destroyer of engines,

Looks like the head gasket was leaking between cylinders, hard to see though.

I would torque to at least 85 ft/lbs.

[BadAssPerformance]

Yep, we can sure F them up!

[BadAssPerformance]

New headgasket is on, flycut header flange seems to seal, car seems to run well...

Ah, there you are. Broke and fixed in a short period of time, then use the word "seems" more often. What's the head stud torque now?

[BadAssPerformance]

LOL... 'seems' cut I got it running and filled with coolant but did not drive it around yet.

I went with 80ft-lb with moly...

[Speedeuphoria]

80ft/lbs should be good, I think I went 83 with mine just for fun.

Nice dyno numbers, what was the peak HP rpm?

[BadAssPerformance]

Cool on the torque

Like 5400rpm? Yeah, I'm really not believing the numbers, LOL!
