I would look into upgrading your turbo. :laugh:

 

[crankbender]

dude that is a given...just didn't want to get into the turbo debate with the car.....

suffice it to say the 3052 would be smaller than anything considered for this.....it could reach 30 psi.

Forgot shooting for just under 8:1 CR

Way to add to the discussion. Please keep your snide comments to yourself they have no place in these forums. If you really think that wouldn't it be easier to just not respond?

Well first off lets be real, how many people on here are actually qualified to comment on a list about parts for a full race trailered car? Very few people are but I'm sure you'll get a lot of responses.

Generally a person with the ability and or financial means to build a full race trailered car doesn't need to ask a discussion forum for parts advice.

I'm liking the list, however I don't understand why you say trailor car? Even IF that were to be a 9-10 second car why couldn't you drive it on the street? It's awd and won't break traction unless you have the boost cranked up and you are flooring it everywhere. If you just drive it normal whats the big deal? No need to make it a "trailor car".

I'd assume the 2.4 would be worth it. I considered this route myself, but I ended up just doing a 7 bolt 2g buildup. I am using ross pistons and eagle rods and have it bored only .020 over ( why go more? ) I would recommemend the MLS headgasket and definitly some ARP studs. Maybe have it O-ringed if you will be boosting 30+? I am using arp studs and mls headgasket and planning for a max bost on race gas at about 27 - 28 psi. My compression is a tad over 8.5:1. Add a STRONG clutch to your list too. Maybe some arp main studs although most likely not necessary.

Good this post was started to do just that. I am not asking anybody for advice just what people thought of that list. With that said who cares if they are qualified. ever heard of discussion? And if you opened your ears for a minute you might find that some inexperienced people have good ideas at times and can get the juices flowing.

Generally a person with the ability and or financial means to build a full race trailered car doesn't need to ask a discussion forum for parts advice.

Once again why are you insisting anybody is asking for advice? And whoever said that people had to actually build their dream setup?

I asked this to find out what people thought and would like for THEIR cars. I threw some stuff together off the top of my head that would make a decent start.

Why do you insist on people not posting what they would like. Hey maybe some of us here that do know what they are doing can correct some poor choices people make. Also maybe somebody will learn something. If you don't want to be a part of the discussion then stay away. You are like some guy wandering around in the damn food court telling people they are having stupid conversations....get a life.

id only go .020 over

 

[importracr317]

other stuff -
big radiator
dual SPAL fans
maybe a direct port nitrous system on a window switch
knife edge and balance the crank
what kinda tranny? (big issue there, when going for big power)
sheet metal intake mani.
get rid of the gas tank and get a fuel cell
battery to the trunk area

but as sugested before, you could dirve a car with the above and aforementioned mods on the street too....

On a good set-up (ported head-big cams-smim) the 3052 will be maxed out in the mid-upper 20 psi. Go with something a little bigger. A 60-1 or a 56 trim gt 40. I would lean towards the 56 trim as it provideds a little extra room for more boost if you want more power.

I didn't want it to turn into a turbo debate but personally i think the 3052 is also way too small for a full drag car. I agree with ya that is why i said it would be small.

And what does it take to build a race car?

The short answer. Alot of time and money. A tech team ... many heads and hands are better than 1/2. having access to and the skill to use a cnc, pipebender, welder, plasma cutter, etc is also very helpfull.

a trailer is gonna be very usefull also as you are bound to break stuff.

what kinda tranny? (big issue there, when going for big power)

personally i would use a stocker to do the rough and low torque tuning. Then i would go with a dogbox probbably.

I'm not 100% sure but don't our cars already have roller rockers? I would also only go .20 over it leaves a little room if you ever have to ,heaven forbid, go through the block agian.
