Re: The Goonwagon
Duffee started putting the motor together today. Hope to be testing it in the truck by the middle of next week, and I cant wait to get it in the dirt at the 1k.
395 Stroker
8.8 comp for Pemex 87
Power should be in the neighborhood of 370.

Re: The Goonwagon
I thought Pemex was just as good as north of the border gasoline? Couldn't you have gone a little higher on the compression?

Re: The Goonwagon
The Pemex in northern Baja comes from US refinerys. Not sure about BCS. Mainland surely not.
I certainly could have gone higher but I wanted to keep it low for reliability and simplicity. I dont need crazy power as its not a racer. It should have plenty of power to do what I want.
I also subscribe to the theory that Baja locals dont buy premium so it sits in the tanks for a long time and is susceptible to contamination.

Re: The Goonwagon
Ya for sure. Im a hair over 300 tq, just under 300hp so im sure it will be lightyears ahead of what you are used too. A nice flat curve should put a big smile on your face.

Ryan, I spent a better part of an hour last night looking for your hp/tq numbers.
You have your dyno charts? Also your still running stock injectors right?

Re: The Goonwagon
8.8 compression is plenty for what he needs. I always make more power on Pemex for some reason anyway, maybe less additives?

Re: The Goonwagon
Put 2000 miles on the new motor. I was not thrilled on the street but in the dirt, Holy Crap! What an improvment. Ive had this truck over a year and not its finally what I thought it would be. Aside frma minor brake line issue it ran like a raped ape all week at the 1000. Cant wait to go flog it again.
