But does it do good burnouts?
Lol!
I have a set of Tri-Y headers but haven't convinced myself to run them. Headers come with there set of headaches. That's why I was curious if you were sans-headers
Then you had Howell burn a chip based on what you have on the motor, correct?
Yes, I called and talked to Troy. Gave him all of the parameters for the engine, let him know which computer, trans. Had him delete out the emissions BS and remove the VSS.
Same guy burned the chip for the K5. Real pleased with the outcome both times.
As for headers, I might put a set of Doug Thorley tri y headers at some point. Those were the only ones I saw that produced more torque below 3k. Most headers do very little below 4-4500, and are less effective as atmospheric pressure drops. Re: they are worthless on SBC trucks in CO if the rest of the system works fairly well.
And I will say that the K5 runs very well.
It does run slightly warmer pulling hills at 70 than it does at 65-67 mph. But that I would guess has something to do with the winch, more than no VSS input.

So do you not have EGR? Incidentally 300hp is where I'd like to be.
No EGR.
Realistically it might be more, but without dynoing it, who knows.
The compression is where it's at. Magic stuff happens after you go past 10:1.
The 2 highest power increases based on percentage are from 10-11 & 9-10 respectively
Still 87 octane?
It would knock like mad. When it had the carb it would diesel on 87 with 14° lead.
It gets better mileage on 91
Pics?
I'll take some tomorrow. Would like to scrub it up for paint first
Nothing fancy, drilled the nylon keepers out of the stock shaft and cut the hollow section off. Trimmed the XJ to fit and shimmied it together. Buzzed a few welds on and done.
For those wondering why change out the rag joint? I had one break on the trail once, had to wrap bailing wire and duct tape on it to get home.
10-1 with that cam is going to be interesting.. Thats a lot of cylinder pressure. Those heads are not good at fighting knock.. I hope your quench is pretty tight. Itll prob run awesome.. my 9-1 version of that build with a cam slightly larger and "headers" super comps made a ton of low end.. honestly I cant tell the difference in a truck with thorleys or without.. The H pipe made a bigger difference. But they are excellent with fitment and build wayyy better than any cheap header is.
It's had those heads on there since '98, so must be ok...
Interested to see pics of what you did with that steering shaft.
I don't believe he actually did it. I have yet to see pictures. "Unicorn Upgrade"...
