Projects Blown 430 MEL Build Questions

GREAT idea on pistons/rods!

 

thanks for your replys i have read that if you us flat top piston would cut the power way down would like to get the power that they had when they were made.

Not familiar with Lincoln 430 ?
If cutting down crank to smaller size
To BBC , Sounds like parts crank beefy,
Donot be Scared or focus on 8:1 static ,

10:1 I would think Ok ,
The reason I say the intake shown is like
Low rise tunnel ram , so runner longer
Compressed Outlet temp will be cooler then a short Runner ,
I also use a Egt but in intake below / under blower so I can see intake air temp ,
On 10:5:1 on hot day Temp might be around 170 temp in Intake under blower
On 1/8 mile pull drop to 120's under Boost On 10% ethanol fuel off pump
I am running right @ 6 psi , have run
As much as 12 psi , 1-2 times , under boost with 27 deg BTDC ,I decided to be on safe side Just stick with 6 pounds of boost .
My initial timing is 22 deg
Normal driving 36 deg
Under boost 27 deg
