This post wasn't dead, just on hold.

I been pretty busy here last couple days (and nights). We just finished building the 434 stroker I was posting on a while back with the "soup bowl" pistons. We couldn't get a proper quench and was running 6lbs boost on pump gas with 9.0:1 CR. We ordered a water injection kit for it. (And one for mine too.)

The kit I was originally working on made a believer out of me. I scrapped the project sort of because it was getting too deep and for the money, it was already in existance. I will most likely simplify it again and put it back on something as it does work to control detonation.

Well, for the blower engines, we ordered a kit that was complete with a 150psi pump and a variable controller. This kit is cheap insurance for a blower motor. We got it installed on the 434 and so far, it's great. The kit is simple and tuning is straigt forward. We don't have a lot of run time yet. Still working the bugs out the whole unit and fine tuning. I found the engine to run best at 35 degrees total timing. The BTM is on 0* retard and there is no detonation at any engine speed w/6-7lbs boost on straight pump gas. I will be installing mine here soon and raising my boost to 10lbs. I am currently running 6lbs w/32 degrees timing and my BTM set a 1* retard per 1lb boost. I don't have any detonation issues but I also have proper quench area.
