Aldofashow Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Check out katech they have a 427 short block I think it's just under 6000 bucks That is very sexy. I may need to think over my decision to go 408 and go 427 now in my future mods LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadianVRss Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) Wait a min 698 at the crank and 570 at the wheels, that's around %18 drive train loss. Did you pull your front drive shaft when dynoing? Edited March 26, 2013 by canadianVRss (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Roknic Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) yes sir I'm sure the numbers would be lower on a all wheel drive dyno. Engine dyno was done by the builder at there facility, and the truck was dynoyed by the tuner on a mustang dyno, different place...

canadianVRss Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Makes sense. What is the parasitic loss with the front in anyway, I want to say %28-30. Any experience AWD dynoing these trucks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Roknic Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 i'm not sure on that one. I don't think it's quite that high, but i don't know for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GI.SS Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 very well put together. Good to see another BA SS back up and running! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowsniper3006 Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) I've been told around 27% loss on awd. On joes truck it's nice to have to numbers to figure out the actual loss pulling the shaft on a mustang dyno but keep in mind the tunes where not the same and I'm not sure what mode the the dyno was in. Could have been in sim mode or the short pull mode which I forget the actual name, but sim mode will show a higher number. I always tune in the short pull mode and then go for a number in sim mode. There is an awd dyno by our houses....be cool to dyno both trucks and see the percent of loss from rear wheel to awd What would be really cool is to see a larger header and better exhaust on this monster....lots of power on the table yet Edited March 26, 2013 by shadowsniper3006 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Roknic Posted March 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 now just add some boost! Ive been doing a little research on that.. i was on Z06 fourm lots of guys with the ls7 motor on there.... alot of talk about that block being bored out to far for boost... they were saying thats why GM went back to the 6.2 iron block platform for the supercharged ls9 motor thats in the mighty ZR1.. I don't know how much truth there is in that statement .... but I think a lsx block would be the way to go for a supercharged 427 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
