ooh nearly 300 pages

 

Amazing amount of reading for sure - Happy New Year RP!

 

and the 1st post on Page 300 goes to......

 

woo. page 112 for me.

 

40 posts/page ownzzzzz

 

RP,
this is a sort of on-topic/off topic message.

in addition to modifying my RX-8 I am also building a 392 Hemi. In the past I have seen images of a front mounted roots blower on a small block chevy, I think it was by Moon.

My idea is to do something of the same layout but with one of your axial flow superchargers. Do you have anything that could run up to 10-12 PSI on a 392 spinning at 6k?

the build so far on the motor is
'58 300 "A" 392 block .030 over
'56 354 heads
'58 crank offset ground to accomodate Big block chevy rods
Eagle 7.25" big block chevy h-beam rods
Arias 8:1 comp custom pistons (pins moved up piston to stabilise piston for high RPM reliability.
The camshaft is undecided at this point and is dependent on the air intake method and Forced Induction vs. Normally aspirated.

 

initially we were going to go with some sort of screw compressor, but then I came up with the wild idea of trying to set up some sort of constantly variable drive for the compressor. So driving around town you could have low to no boost, yet if you wanted more power you could dial up the drive ratio and start running boost.

 

meeeeeeeeee!




























Edit : BUGGER !

 

Nope, sorry, you were off by a few.

 

Who will it be? I bet it will be someone who doesnt want to read 300 pages.

 

yeah me!!!

 

I bet zoom cheated being an administrator and all


EDIT: Some how I became #300

 

113 pages?

 

you are set to 40 posts per page.

zoom44 has powers

 

Yeah, but what would really be nice is some information from RP about the supercharger. I thought I remember reading that it was expected to be ready at seven stock, then maybe christmas. I’m not really in a hurry, I have to save the money first, but it would be nice to know how much I’m going to need to save and how much HP I will be getting.

Ive been reading this thread for a bit, but I havent figured out what the release date will be. So I was wondering if anyone knew when its supposed to be out, and if its still in produtction?

 

^ That is the million dollar question. We are all waiting for the answer.

 

Well I hope everything is ok with the project, I was really hopeing to get this. Has anyone PMed or emailed Richard on this problem?

 

I've got a stack of 43 - hundred dollar bills sitting here.

If Richard doesn't hurry up and offer this product -

that stack of bills may end up getting converted to

blow, crack ho's and a bulk quantity box of Depends.

 

The webwite does not seem to get updated and he does not seem to keep us as informed as the Pattit S/C is. I like the concept of this one better, but,...I do have A.D.D. I might just blow my money partying with Emailists on another S/C or turbo. Might end up buying a new motorcycle. An update would be nice though.

 

Give RP a break - he is probably sipping marguretas under the shade of a coolabar tree somewhere.

 

 

RP check out the fuel starvation thread--we have found some thing that may be of interest to you concerning the fuel pump. May be useful, may not.

No worries guys, if I know Richard he's still hard at work on this thing. Richard doesn't like to give TOO many updates as it just pulls him away from his work and leads to more speculation.
