Viperlp01 is building a 7 bolt. (Lots of pics)

[viperlp01]

So its been a while since my last post. I have just been waiting on machining and all the little loose ends to come together. I started building everything this week and I am pull the old motor out tomorrow. I have only had one problem so far so I hope it stays that way. The wrist pin bushing eagle sent me were for 6 bolts so I had to get the new bushing honed out for 7 bolt (22mm) wrist pins. My buddy at street and strip in otsego did it over night for me. Thanks man.

A lot of ppl have been going with regrinds. 1st off you cant argue with the price and they make the same amount of power that the expensive billet cams do.

But are they reliable? Have they been tested on 800+whp dsms?

Im sure they have a breaking limit just like most parts do. Do I know what that limit is no. but Delta might. I do know These SIM 275's are in a couple 600HP dsm's so far with no problems. And if you look at the Average DSM its a e316g with around 300+hp and they work great.

Im looking to max out my holset.. I think I could hit mid to high 500

 

[95eclipser]

i didnt see what holset you are using? hx-35 7 blade?

that amount of power should be fun or a street car
