Blue Flame, All Out

Have you looked at intake manifolds and injection systems yet? These guys have also gone to the ability to add NOX control as well. I have seen a side draft version of their setup on Hot Rod TV, and they offer EFI controlled equipment. It certainly would create a big appearance wow.

Wow, that's some exotic stuff.

I don't think that will be happening at this stage, but as things develop later on, who knows?
 
I saw thes einjection systems on Tv also. Do they offer any peformance gains? They obviously have the bling factor.
 
So could you just throw something like this on any old MK8? :D

It would be nice if we could borrow one of those setups and put it on the car Jeremi just finished while it's over at Lidio's to see what the unit has to offer over the stock and supercharged setups we are familiar with.
 
I have a bit more research to do, but here's what I'm seriously considering...

  • FRP Boss 5.0L Modular block
  • Kellog 4340 Forged Stroker Crankshaft
  • Manley 4340 H-beam Rods
  • Custom Diamond 2618 Forged Dome Pistons w/ valve reliefs
  • File Fit Moly Rings
  • Melling High Volume Oil Pump w/ Billet Gears
  • Internally Balanced

This should be fun with the heads/cams currently on the tired stock block.
 
The only thing I don't like about is the block material. N/A setups don't need any extra weight. Isn't there an aluminum option for the BOSS block ? I am sure it's $$ but .... you only live once ;) I can check on my cost of either one if you want.
 
PM me your pricing, but any aluminum 5.0 modular block is mega-bucks. I gotta draw the line somewhere! LOL :D

I've read anywhere from 60-90 lbs weight difference with the iron block. Probably 90 lbs with the forged internals. The car can shed weight elsewhere to make up for it and the driver could use some incentive for weight loss as well. ;)

Besides that, I can see a trunk mounted battery in my future. :D
 
Fox Lake Racing will be doing the build on the new motor.

Only the final piston and cam selection remain to be determined. I told him I didn't want to leave anything on the table but I didn't want to create a future nightmare either. Right now we're probably at closer to 11:1 rather than 12 or higher static compression ratio. His primary concern was dynamic compression with the stroker, big bore and possibly bigger cam.

The embers of the Blue Flame are beginning to glow. ;)
