It will be here soon!
I'm getting a new short block from Reher-Morrison Racing Engines soon. It will come with higher compression nitrous pistons (from 11.3-1 to 13.5-1). And a 10.2 deck Dart block. The rest of the original combo will stay be the same.

Re: It will be here soon!
I should be able the pick up some HP with the higher compression pistons. I'm changing to the better parts so I can put more nitrous in it and not worry about breaking anything.spib wrote: CONGRATS that sounds like it will up the fun factor, HELL YA

Re: It will be here soon!
Sounds like a nice piece but why stay with 525"? Do you have a weight/cid rule ? I know your combo was haulin ass already with only a few passes just curious as to why not get a few more cubes for the same $$$$$. Do the Dart blocks need any special parts compared to the stock GM block besides the taller lifters?

Staying under a 530 C.I. motor will allow my stock suspension car in a lot of other classes. Going over will exclude me from racing those classes with the C.I. rules.sc racing wrote:Sounds like a nice piece but why stay with 525"? Do you have a weight/cid rule ?

I've been running a stock block with pistons that warn't ment for a lot of nitrous so I'm up grading to stronger parts. The motor being a 4.5 stroke makes a lot of torque for a motor this size. Going to a bigger bore to make a bigger c.i. motor would be hard without more head work. My heads would probably work better on a smaller motor.
The lifter is the only thing I know of and of coarse my RedZone lifters will have to be replaced.

Re: It will be here soon!
How much heavier you reckon it will be? My Dart block was a lot heavier then the OEM tall deck.

Seems like I read somewhere the difference was about 35# on a short deckJohn_Heard wrote:How much heavier you reckon it will be? My Dart block was a lot heavier then the OEM tall deck.
