Just finished my all forged 408 and want to know how big a shot I can spray?
That depends completely on your build specs, but if it is fully forged and built for a big shot you might be able to go upwards of 400. If it isn't built for spray you are prolly safe with a 200 shot. Tons of variables to account for.
The most important thing is the tune in most cases. Also remember with a big shot you are going to need more supporting mods than just a built motor. Be prepared to break stuff. :lol:
Its fully forged and speced for a big shot from Texas speed with patriot stage 3 heads 240/248 cam 11:1 compression and stage 5 finish line tranny 4000 stall 4.30 gears with moser axles! And I'm thinking a 300 shot!
Good tune up, forged motor, spray as much as you want.
Not as much as you want, there are limits. With a texas speed motor i wouldent go over 200 imo unless they have gotten their crap together recently and found out how to actually build a motor. Just because a motor is forged means nothing. Ring gap and bearing clearances play a big part and so does tune up on a 300 shot. Most plates wont support that and id suggest a dedicated fuel system as well. You also need to do lots of research on n2o tuning.
They didn't build it! And I'm not letting them tune it either! I have heard bad things about there tunes! I was thinking of taking it and having Nelson dyno tune? And I have a dedicated fuel system for the nitrous!
I don't believe you!!! J/k! Where's the pics of this beast? Sounds like you're setup is pretty nice.
pics or i call BS, you mean to tell me you paid to have a stroked and forged motor built, you have no idea how much you can spray, but yet bought a stand alone system for the nitrous, and you dont have a tuner yet for it.......you are either lying or you have more money than sense :thumb:
That motor sounds like it could possible take a 300HP shot but there are a lot more factors in spraying that much nitrous. The main things that you need to watch out for in that big of a shot are ring gaps need to be set a little larger than they would be on a N/A engine. The other thing is to watch your dynamic compression because to high of dynamic compression can cause problems with that big of a shot.
Here is a good explanation of Static VS Dynamic compression.

yeah i was a little confused to, maybe its one of those deals where they sold him all the parts and told him he was capable of putting together in his garage and explained thoroughly how to do itQuote:

My ring gaps are .024 .028 and yea they sold me the parts and I built it! I'm working off right now but I will be back home next week and I will get some pics!
Pray and spray
would be nice to know what forged parts we discussing that a 300 shot would hold up to? pistons, rods & crank?
diamond rates there pistons for around 400-450 wiseco on the other hand rates theres around 350-400!
Wiseco pistons eagle rods and crank!
dunno about eagle crank but those pistons would hold just fine ;) i have them but ill be way over 300 in due time somewhere around 400-500 but it wont be a direct hit itll walk its way in !Quote:

i would run a 100 on each and move up a little at a time adding 50 to one then the other as far as you fell comfy and safe or hit your goals.

but i still say just keep an eye on everything make sure whoever tunes it knows what there doing and its spot on, play it safe and good things will prevail!
read the plugs !! <---- its a must
I have been running the same eagle crank and rods for 5 years of abuse. Always have lost pistons.Quote:
