So my car is detonating pretty bad after 4k rpm. Going to PSR Wednesday to have them take a few degrees out so hopefully it will live a little bit longer. I have been looking at MMR shortblocks as well as possibly having the guy that built the motor in Dan's car do it. Problem right now is funding.
I can get an MMR 4.6 900hp capable shortblock for ~3200 + shipping. Sounds like a good deal and have heard nothing but good things about them. I want a 5.0 stroker but thats another $800 that I'm not sure I wanna spend or have to spend. Probably will be taking out a loan to get it anyway.... This sucks.

I have to run a totally different timing table in the summer. The heat out here is not your friend. I also run a can of toroc on every fill up. I hate running boost on the crap 91 octane we have in this dust bowl.

Well.....
Wait to see what the guys over at PSR have to say, but it doesn't sound to good buddy... On the bright side, a new motor always brings a smile to my face!!!!

i know someone that has a mod900 for sale. he wants around $2200. but the compression might be a bit to high for a sohc.

Thats what I was lookin at was the Mod900. I already have the blower and I am thinking about selling it in order to help pay for the motor and such (I really don't wanna do this but may have to).

How high is the compression and how much would it matter 2V to 4V??? Originally Posted by Lucafu1

The motor is an MMR 900 with 10.5:1 pistons if used in a 4valve. The rod bolts are the ARP 2000's. the compression will go up with sohc heads from what im told, but some port work can help. LMK and ill get you his contact info. hes in PHX too.

That's a drag, brother. I went through 3 motors last year, so I feel your pain.
