    66 427 425HP on a dyno

    I'm just wondering how many miles on the motor, if its a low mileage car what shape are all the vacum hose & plug wires, any carbon build up if it not driven much, could be a million reason. I would expect around 300 hp rwhp if it's stock. Got to hand it to technology. Hard to tune better then...

    I'm installing a ZL1 ram jet. I was figuring to run a line in the stock place but wasn't sure on the return line. I would like to run a second line next to it but I wasn't sure how to run it thru the frame in the rear. I have the body off but can't remember how much room there was where the...

    Midyear, I really appreciate the offer to help, another question also is how much did you shorten the manifold? I am wondering if it would be easier to raise the bulge in the hood then shorten the manifold. But I don't want the bulge to seem to high or out of place. Also I was thinking if I...

    Ram Jet ZL1 and 200r4 info.

    I hate to say it but that v-6 would have eat this motor up with hp & torque to spare while still get twice the gas mileage. But the big block has an impressive visual and sound value. And after thinking about it I thought it might be better to have a limit edition motor in the vette then the...

    Ram Jet ZL1 and 200r4 info.

    I would like to add turbos at some point and an automatic is better for spooling up the turbos. With a 5 or 6 speed you would probably be thru 2nd gear before the tubos spool up. Also I plan on keeping the IRS and with the automatic there is less shock to the rearend. Chuck

    Ram Jet ZL1 and 200r4 info.

    Grumpy55, I choose the 200r4 over the 700 because it is alot stronger of a tranny. I have been racing Buick Grand Nationals for 18 yrs and the 200r4 can be built for around 1800 to hold 750hp reliablely in much heavier cars then the vette. (Buick Gn's weigh around 3800lbs) The 700 would never...
