A.M. Performance Extra Capacity Baffled Racing Oil Pans

ChrisSlicks

With the right mods you can be making good power all the way to 8k. To come out ahead you simply need to be making more power up top than you would at your usual RPM return point, i.e. if you make more power at 8k than at 5.5k then you have more power under the curve and your new return point would be 6k.

That's true. But in order to make more power in that range will require cams.

While agree that we need more exhaust cam I may have some data that disputes lack of ability to make power above 7500 rpm with stock cams. And our cars with 4.09 rear end benefit greatly from higher redline. Not to mention shifting into even higher power band when you go into next gear. Unless you invest in close ratio tranny gears having higher rpm redline helps with our Grand Canyon tranny gearing.. Short shifting sucks with our stock gearbox.

I must be seeing things because "experts" on this gossip site said no way no how could u make power all the way to 8 grand.

But then this is same place where guys are slapping turbos on track cars with stock internals. Lol!

Drunk again or what? I hate your attitude about half the time. Find a better site and go hang out there, instead of trolling here?

I totally agree.

And Shamu how soon we forget you too where FI. You going to call me out have the balls to say my name. It's not your car. Don't worry about it. I have the money to test the limits and suffer the aftermath as you do to with some of your bogus upgrades. You've been suspended here once I guess you don't learn? Your attitudes does suck! You have no respect for anyone here. IMO it seems as your car and the way you do things is so superior.

I still laugh thinking about him telling BJ how to drive Laguna only to have BJ thrash Shamu's lap time... despite having a heavier non-FI'd car. At the end of the day Shamu is a lot of hot air, big opinions, but no delivery. Best to let him troll all by his lonesome.

I have lots of respect for people like Travis and others here just not few talking heads that seem to dominate many of threads here. My mild street legal supercharger install was truly stop gap until I had the 370z built into race car. I i did a couple laps on track and it was clear to me forced induction was a loser for a long term track car. Now that I'm building race car there's no way in hell I'd go FI with stock internal motor? I'm looking at NA 4.0 stroker build with dry sump. I don't need to spend $10k on turbo kit install to know it isn't well advised for a long term track car. But hey you have money to burn and more power to you! You'll have a cool ticking time bomb and I'm sure you will have a ...."blast"! I don't have money to waste and majority of work I have done on car is still there - not a lot of experimenting for me as I'm pretty conservative with my money. Sorry but I'm a born skeptic. And sorry if I rub some suspect characters here wrong way. I wont stop expressing my honest opinions. If you don't like what I post there is a simple solution just check ignore button.
