What are the flow numbers for the Dominion heads are they different from what's in the literature?
And what cam specs did you go with @.050

No Lenco isn't your only choice you could go with a G-force street lethal 5spd www.g-forcetransmissions.com or a Jerico 4 or 5 spd or a Liberty 4 or 5 spd trans.

What different people consider streetable varies a lot. I have driven the G-Force, and I don't consider it streetable. The Lenco is, but there are problems with it. Heavy, big, expensive to name a couple.

would love to hear more about this rich
i remember hearing you say in your quest for the 1000hp street tran you looked into the special t-56 used in viper gtsr... 800ft-lbs rated

what else do you know that us without 1000hp monsters never really need to :P

Nah, rich is a SELL OUT! Mr. Manual Trans or nothing is putting in an AUTO!


j/k



there's a guy making stronger input/output shafts, and other guys who are trying to adapt viper internals- long story short, its much cheaper, easier, and reliable (for now) to go to a th 400 or the like. I'm pretty sure this is what rich is doing, although i haven't heard an update for a while.

Had some higher priorities move into place so things kinda have been on the backburner. House is almost finished up so I'll re-direct focus here prolly next month. I do have all the parts in place to complete now though so there's no more waiting on anything except my wallet

I think I'm going to go ahead and carb the motor first so I can get some dyno numbers and I'll convert to fuel injection later. Either way I doubt the motor will be going into a 4th gen. Emmissions have gotten strict around here and I want to show you guys the all out potential of these heads. I could easily scale the cam back and smog it and still make way too much power but I just don't want to do that at this stage. Spent too much on the carb and other things. Putting the motor into something that doesn't limit me will be a whole lot more fun too...

Bobby, you lost me. Why is putting it in a 4th gen limiting you?

Putting the motor in a 4th gen would mean I would have to abide by the emissions requirements of a 4th gen as well as the fact I couldn't carb the motor. Find that 'special inspector' gets old real quick and its something I really don't want to have to do. I don't like putting other people at risk like that anyway...

So what I'm saying is that because of the fact I already have a bunch of pieces (cam, carb, etc...) already, I want to go ahead and use them and using them technically wouldn't allow me to put the motor in a 4th gen...thereby the limiting factor. Clear as mud?

or you can just move to FL where there are no emmisions

Well im glad its on its way. I think i am going to go the sb2.2 route or such when i get back into things. Though id always prefer still having your setup

Anyone who knows me knows how my mind is. Once again I may have changed my mind

Here is a question-

Since a single pushrod activates two rockers/two solid roller springs is there (or should there be) a concern on pushrod stress?
