New score super 8 class

[FlyHiFlyLo]

Thanks, I just don't really know how much power loss there is between the crank and the wheels with the big tires, etc. My pre runner puts down just under 230 with 37s and 4.56s but I really have no idea how that compares to advertised HP in other vehicles.

Put some 35s on and redyno it... You will crap your pants.

interesting note.......a t-400 only weighs 18 pounds more then a t-350.......i thought it would be much more......carry on.....

Power losses are much higher with the T400 over a T350 though. Same with drive shaft angle we run and having a big hypoid offset we need to keep ring and pinions together. 50% power loss with our setups is probably the norm.

here is the problem, jerry's bestest buddy and SPONSOR is the guy that tags and post techs the CLASS.....am i the only one that sees the CONFLICT OF INTEREST.............and yes, i know what your asking yourself.........why would colby sponsor, or be bestest buddys with him.......

Sponsor???? Thats funny! I pay the same price you and everyone else pays.

What I really don't understand is why you try and make things always seem like they are not?

First you say Turnkey only tags the valve cover then I post a picture YOU posted showing the tag ALSO on the oil pan but yet you still act like they don't do the pan?

I invite ANYONE reading this to call Savage and ask him if he cut the Turnkey tag off the oilpan. He will tell you YES!!!!!!!

Pete just try and get along with people and stop spreading LIES it is getting old. You are doing nothing to help this sport and making things more difficult then they need to be.

Turnkey takes a brand new in the crate engine to Score for sealing. After Score seals it, Turnkey puts their seals on the engine. I don't get what is so hard to understand about how you have two entities sealing the same engine.

You keep avoiding the real question, are they there together inspecting the engine, taking off oil pan valve covers, measuring etc etc whether their shops are 100 miles or 10 miles apart. or is only one sealer really inspecting and the other just installing the tag. I think Turnkey should be first and Savage 2nd , lol just ruffeling Pistols feathers.Oh and by the way Jerry and Fly tuning one of these stock engines to the exhaust and air intake fabricated for the vehicle will make a difference on how long the engine last.Ask any a real fuel injection tuner , ecu map writer. This is true on the eco-tec and been proven in off road applications. Just having fun no wadded panties please.

There is no need for Turnkey to spend the time to inspect a brand new in the crate engine direct from GM powertrain assembly line. Score inspects and seals & then Turnkey seals.

OK so why does Savage need to inspect , take apart a brand new crate engine direct from GM powertrain assembly line and if he's not and just tagging it why so much $$$$ 2nd if your buying the engine from a promoters mandatory supplier (thats making a profit) no matter what company it is and they are not inspecting the engine just tagging it why $300. Doesn't $550- $600 to drill a hole and put a 2 tags sounds like an awefull lot if this is for saving racers money. Just asking three honest questions here.

Those numbers are useless unless you are just using them for comparison reasons. The loss # goes up the more power you push through one, plus it's very dependant on what TC you are using.
