Building a monster
Hey guys,
Well ive got one of my truck up and going.
Ive got the 95 with 370's a bd hx40 bd turbo guard number 8 plate full foward and straight 4 to 5 inch pipe...oh yea cant forget the 370's
I'm wanting to go all out with this truck , What would you guys say.
I was looking at b1's . A Pdr Stage 2 head. PDR Cam. PDR Pump . Cut DV's and i was thinking fire rings. Has anyone gone a route like this. or dose anyone have any thoughts. I belive i'll run a 0 plate. What about the bottom end. Should i dive deep into the motor. I had considerd just having piers just build me a short block when i get that cash.
Just lemme know what ya think!

Run a B-1/B-2 or similar. Maybe Even a KwikSpool and B-2 with a Big External WG before the KS.
*I* would not run Cut DV's on a daily driver,, 191's or even 181's will work fine. They keep driveability, and smoke down a great degree. The Cut DV's cannot control the fuel enough and you get a very, very dirty burn. ALOT of wasted HP untill your EGT hits about 800* then it starts to make a descent amount of power, but with cut DV's and a race pump w/370 injectors,, no matter how much boost you run, you will still be staring at 1,800*
PDR Cam is cool, PDR head is cool to. Are you going to be pulling the motor?
If I was building another motor, If your block is in good shape, just pull the motor out, drill it for 14mm studs, bore it out ~.020, coat the pistons, get coated bearings, then maybe even run a true billet cam, which would require you to bore out your cam journals in the block, and put bearings in each one.
Be sure to balance the crank, and I would look into Total Seal rings, and get the 2nd compression ring turned gapless.
The PDR pump is a great pump for street HP. THere are other pumps out there, but that is a well known, and easily tuneable pump. (PDR race pump comes with 191DV's, and a #10plate)
That's my $.02. I've only done two motors, but have zero experiance with both of them, as they wil be ready to leave the shop soon. One truck this week, and the other, next week.
