Naww.. The thing had no low end torque, didn't make any power till about 4 grand, pulled good all the way to 8500. Could barely get itself moving below 4. Question is, was it the light weight that let me get away with the 11.5 CR???? [/QUOTE i had 5 big blocks12to1 run it on pump and one 548 10to1 with 10 psi of boost run that on pump a 548 14-8 to1 i did run pump in it but did not crank that one past 5000 rpm with it in it all the times i ran pump in them i was thinking of holes in my pistons but did not happen all of them were big soild roller cams and much dura and were on 110or 108 lsa and were O.deck or damn close and piston tops and head chambers were polished and smooth on the corners like a old bar of soap and i am sure the hi v oil pump help keep the pistons back side cool to they all were in 3500 car so i would say it can be done in a car with no load on it .
