Default Re: BBC Tarantula manifold vs weiand tunnel ram ?

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: pxtx</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Sounds like a fun project. With all due respect, why 12.5:1 compression if you are going for more street? We recently made 500hp with 9.3:1 and modest fuelie heads on a little 302. Mixing race gas on the street sucks.

I think you can easily meet your goals with the Tunnel Ram. </div></div>

Honestly Paul I got all the engine parts for practically nothing lol. The forged crank, rods and pistons were all under $500 and the crank and rods are new. I already had the 60 over block. I don't mind running race gas for the simple fact of I'm not going out on long cruises maybe an occasional 20 minute cruise to the local shows or the occasional weekend romp. All my engines I built were always pumo gas on the street. If this was an everyday or constant driver than by all means i wouldn't even think of running anything over 10:5:1
