I got my nitrous kit put on my 351w and made a few passes this past weekend.

The engine set up right now:

stock rotating assembly 95 351w
64cc dart cast iron heads that have been ported and pollished
ford racing x303 cam
1.6 crane roller rockers
bbk shorty headers
3.73 rear end gears
26 inch tall mickey thompson drag radial
edelbrock rpm air gap intake
Stock suspension other than eibach dragsprings
c4 trans with 3200 stall
91 octane pump gas

natually asperated, the car ran a 12.871 @ 104.50 mph with a 1.802 60 foot.

on a 100 hp shot of nitrous it ran a 11.564 @ 116.18 mph with a 1.636 60 foot.

I am building another 351w right now and looking for ideas for better parts to hold more spray and make more power.

Does anyone know if a company makes a forged piston that would put my current 8.5:1 compression engine to about 10.5-11.00:1 compression? Im looking for a cheap slug, nothig too fancy.

Also trying to find out what cam would make the best power with a 175-250 hp shot of nitrous.

I just got a victor jr intake for it also.

If any one has comments of what brand of controll arms work the best, let me know. Im gonna need all the traction I can get.

My goal is to make a 10 second pass with this engine.

with this next motor you sould find out your deck hite and contact JE pistons.they can custom make that piston to get any compression. they are a really good piston for around $100 a slug.i now thats a lot but you can spray what every you want on the pistons. check out ohio crank shaft for rods and crank. all 4340 stuff for a fair price. get a hold of comp cams for the cam.tell them what you have and they can get you the right cam for your ride or custom make it for you. plan ahead when you build this one for a lot of hp. when i build my motor i only thought it would make about 750hp with spray. at the end it was making about 950 on the bottle and snapped off #1 rod. well you now the rest. good luck.

Hey, thanks for the info, i appreciate it. What was your set up?

[CAPRIRACER468]

i run a 466 bbf. it had the kaase scj heads,all roller engine,(cam bearings,cam+lifters,rockers). stock crank with eagle i-beam rods. i sprayed at the end a 275 shot on it. lasted to runs. 1st was 5.76 in the 1/8 122 mph and the 2nd ran a 5.80 and lost the motor at the 1/4 mile end.i normally run 1/4 mile and it ran 10s all day and 9.0s on the bottle with 225 shot. the rods is were i messed up. dont mess up. dont be cheep. by good stuff and you can beat the crap out of that motor and it will just smile and say give me more.

[CAPRIRACER468]

it was a street and strip car at one time now just a strip car.i got in trouble one to many times and was going to loose my license. now i drive a little put put that gets 30 miles to the gal so i dont get in trouble.
