Why do alot of people around here think that the 7AFE is weak and can't handle boost? I just want to know your view points on this? Do you think its cause it's and N/A engine? Is it because it comes from the factory with only 110 hp? is it beacuae you know someone that has boosted the engine and it has blown up? or any one of the many other reasons you might have?
I just really want to know what all you guys think, that say the 7AFE is weak and people shouldn't spen anymoney on it other then a intake or exhaust system.. -------------------- |

I guess you could call it that... My problems were mainly because I pushed it too hard with too little tuning. The only tuning I ever had was a bit of dyno time tuning a SAFC... however, that was not enough. I didn't anticipate a lot of variables, little things such as running octane booster on premium fuel to limit the knocking, re-checking my valve clearences, to match the valve job, redo my timing, to take advantage of my modified fuel curves, etc. It could have been a successful build, however, my neglect and stupidity costed me. As soon as I finished the head work, I raced it. Even after a serious failure (rings and valves) I still raced it. I'm pretty sure crank balance was the reason the bottom end froze up. Either it was from the tapping, or maybe even the ring installation. I still really don't know for sure. And K2... you'll have PM in a bit. |
