Ok, am I right in thinking I might get a couple of horses back from putting a new standard cam in with new followers etc? There are pistons on ebay that may be good or overkill? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TVR-ROVER-V8-POWER-3-9-high-cam-pistons-set-balanced_W0QQitemZ300249166801QQihZ020QQcategoryZ108792Q...

Powdered metal retainers, Ooooh I dont like the sound of those!!!! I thought all the later retainers were sintered? According to the power tuning V8 book they are anyway, so using early buick ones are advisable to increase the rev limit.....?! Any advice on pistons etc for a reliable blown engine?!?!

Thanks- I cant be too fussy about height so its not really an issue- I will rarely use the NOS and just want it as a fun car for the odd day to escape every day Land Rover world!!! Primarily I just want to keep costs as low as possible so as far as engine mods go- was going to rebuild the unit and p...

dragsters are arranged like that because that is the rules for many of the classes, topfuel, funny car etc are restricted on blower (size and type) and engine configuration, also both run nitromethanol which has a very high specific latent heat capacity and you use more than twice as much of it so ...

No it is dry however I have done a bit of homework and it should be fine running wet- and aluminium and teflon are fine with petrol! Really really just hoping there isnt any backfires cos I guess you could say goodbye to the blower then and try and find it afterwards! I have seen some funny setups l...

Eaton M112 Inlet Manifold

Hi, I have a M112 blower that I am going to try and modify to fit on my 3.9 RV8, I also have an Edelbrock Performer inlet manifold.... I don't want to waste it though by doing the wrong thing as I am thinking: On one hand an offenhouser 360 would be a lot better suited due to its simplicity and desi...

Yes that is half the reason, though I am hoping the temperature will keep fairly low by having the fuel mixed whilst being compressed- I think this is 1 reason dragsters have fuel injected before the charger as well as after! I won't be able to constantly have the NOS flowing to cool the mixture tho...

NOS with Supercharger Questions!

Hi everybody, new to here but the old posts have answered some questions already! I'm just starting a 4l RV8 build, have got an Eaton M112 supercharger that I am going to (try) and machine so I can sit my 4bbl Edelbrock carb on top of it, and mount it on top of an Edelbrock Performer manifold (180de...
