I gotta be able to beat CRASH back to camp after running trails, and we're both getting strokers in this spring, so just for fun, I wonder what opinions are on whether mine or his will have the advantage. He'll have to put his specs up here, but here's mine.
Renix motor, 258 crank and rods, stock 4.0L 0.30 over pistons, stock head, Crane 753901 cam, 58mm bored Renix TB, Clifford header, 2.5" exhaust and Dynaflow muffler with no cat, 24lb injectors with 49psi FPR. The compression ratio is high (10 to 1) so it'll run premium gas. Good valve job, new springs, etc., but otherwise no special head work or machining.
CRASH, what will you end up with?
I'm wondering if I should go ahead and do some head work, port matching, polishing, etc., or will I have enough to keep with him without all the time and labor to do head work. Superior driving and suspension design will give me the edge, as long as my motor is as good or better than his.
