The Official Hot Rod Thread - Part 2: No Replacement For Displacement

[RustyHornet]

We are running the 268 offering in the stroker.

But I’m assuming you’re gonna have more than 7.6 cr?

That's perfect for some boost!

 

[ChristianPatriot]

I would drive the crap out of this. Not even ashamed.

Ugh

Ugh

There’s a chart somewhere that proves that that’s awesome

 

[ChristianPatriot]

Everything outside the orange is awesome. So as we can see, you can be really cool and slow and still be awesome. Pristine 60s C10 with a straight 6? Awesome. But the lower you go on the coolness scale the faster you need to be in order to be awesome. Beater CRX? Not awesome. Beater CRX that runs 9’s? Awesome.

In reality it’s a smart move for a driver. Of course if he had made the decision to build a bigger engine, it would make more sense.

Never thought I’d be putting Jeep parts on my car.

Oh I get it. It makes perfect sense to a family man. It will still get him sideways.............

I have watched some stupid fast fart bangers at the track. They used to run with us once a summer. Pretty amazing actually but when you see the size of the turbo's it all becomes pretty clear.

Shoot, I think he could get a radio flyer sideways...

 

[RustyHornet]

Uh...............OK

Steering box from a 90s grand Cherokee. It’s a common affordable upgrade. Gets me 12:1 ratio with a lager T bar to firm up the feel. Bolts right in place, just need adapters for the lines since it’s metric and a rag joint from a late 70s pickup.

Sweet.
Who comes up with this cool ****.

It’s a gift

From what I’ve learned, dropping a full point of compression is good for like 3% loss. Even at the level we’re gonna be at that’s like 10 numbers. Never gonna feel that difference in the seat and if it lets me get away with 91 most of the time and 87 if I need to, then that’s a hit I’m willing to take.

Remember, hot rodders are cheap asses by nature. This sure beats the $800 balanced and blueprinted custom box from Lee!

 

[RustyHornet]

It’s a gift

You are very talented!
