Has anyone heard from Bret ??? I'd like to ask him a couple of questions about the parts needed to build a higher RPM motor.

I sent him an email and he sent one back the other day.

Could you shoot me his e-mail address ???

sent you an email to the address that is in the tread below for TA.

Ask away! I might not know the answer, but I'll try to help you.

You need to post some more video of that purty thing.

Bret, I can't use a pro-fab.

Check your email in a few minutes!

Thanks Chris. I got it.

Hey Bret

Im pondering the idea of jumping up from the street stock. this season i ran 68-7200 rpm with the occasional 7500 blast. If i jump up i will be doing some head work or getting a different set all together. but would like to keep the same bottom end for now.
here are the specs on this years motor. What would you use for a safe rpm limit on these parts.

Thanks Cory

It is a D9 block .030 over decked .040
Arp main studs and windage tray
stock 460 crank turned .010 on mains .030 on rods
Scat H beams with 8740 bolts
TRW2443s with the domes milled off (pistons flush with deck
Balanced Rotating Assembly

I really think if your going to move up you should look for more compression and a lighter piston. The rods will work but, I think you should install ARP 2000 bolts in them. I guess long story short...I think you are more or less at the end of your "safe" rpm limit especially if your seeing an occasional 7500.

Later, Bret

the heads now are cjs angle milled .110 to 0 resulting in a 56 cc chamber and a compression ratio of between 14-14.5:1 (had to get around the flat top rule somehow ) but they are 100% unported as of now due to class rules.

I hate to upgrade pistons now and then stroke the motor next year and have to replace them again. but what pistons do you recommend? and where is the best place to get the arp2000 bolts?

Thanks Cory
