🔧 BUILD remember the twin engine olds?

Ben was using unmodified 80e's....that's like expecting a stock 65e to handle the TR....
We found that the 80e could handle the whippledRiv just fine. And Eric was never gentle....

your still salty that you can't hack it.......dont worry...we'll sho you how

I was in like my early 20's when you were going boners about the 80e.

In little over 3 years ill be 40.. and you still haven't made any damn real results worth a crap on the 80e front.

I think there has been like 3 elections.. 4 soon, since start gabbing about it.

I'm just tired of waiting for this "Game Changer" to be proven...

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

The wait will be over soon enough.

Soon for you is a decade.

I figure'd Ben put in more actual time and real world work to find out
you can't make power on an 80e for long with the # of them he ruined.

So the fix is.. make weak power and good to go

I believe we have the solution but no time to do it. My valve body changes will help a lot. Ultimately there might still be weakness involved. Torque management slow boost ramp on, is what i should have worked on. With a quicker 1 to 2 shift i could have used 1st gear at low power vs using 2nd gear start with a shitload of torque.

Also just going to a good track this car wouod have easily made a 7s pass at medium boost not hurting anything.

I realized how bad our local track was this summer running our 600hp asphalt sled. Anything over 20 psi was a smoke. Show.. We ran 5.21 @142mph at 22 psi snaking down the track.

We then went to a decent track 5.0 @149mph right away snaking down the track. And tue racers from Michigan told us the track was slippery lol.... Milan same guys that ran 5.0s @149 too ran 4.6s. up there @156mph

Hopefully you get back to it one day...

Once the 80e thing "figured out" , love to see it applied in a single engine FWD setup making big numbers and see how long it
lasts hauling 3000lbs+ alone.

I might get back into a 3800 if that ever gets figured out.

Figures you'd do this after the fact that I bought the old Whipple car.

Fwd less. Traction would br rrally hard to break ona gutted lightweight 3.8...

Mine broke because i launched it in 2nd gear at 30 psi of boost. At 21 psi 8.3 @165mph easy pass woulf never break.

When i tried for 7s on my shitty track i had to launch it hard because it only hooks for 60 feet then its skate city...

At a good track i could ramp on boost slow and make it survive.

Also hurt 2 4t80e by accidently shifting to 4th. And last time was my shift controller shutting off at wot sending my trans back to 2nd gear at 140mph.

Twice i broke at 30 psi launching at about 40 feet in 2nd gear.

You'd be the best buyer for it too you are patient...
