How Much Can It Take?

stangage · January 30th, 2009, 10:14 AM

I have a buddy who is building a 347, he has afr 205s all of the works for nos but he has a stock block. he put a main girdle on and insists that it will be ok. I believe he plans on running a big shot of nos just curious what you all think? thanks

I think its his problem.........

stangage · January 30th, 2009, 10:39 AM

thats what iam thinkin, he thinks iam dumb for gettin my new block

Iwannagofast · January 30th, 2009, 11:06 AM

with 205 heads and a 347 he might already be making 450 motor power....with a big shot of nitrous he may regret it

you better invest in a video camera so we can watch and make fun of his mistake.....

They always run the best just before they blow up

I believe the stock block is good to about 550 to 600 H.P. I think....

yeah itll just give him a reason to buy a good block afterwards. its his fault for not doing it right the first time

May last on pass, may last 5 years. Just as long as he knows that, he'll be fine. Better get a triple A card.

The girdle will just hold the broken parts in place

Most likely lifter valley will split before the mains walk, so the girdle wont do much.
