Yeah Phillip Long/Turbo6 is the fastest I've heard of on stock bottom end.

Re: The Hardest....?
If it's just sitting on the ground, I can probably push a stock engine about 15 or 20 feet without resting (farther if I roll it). Probably wouldn't do much for its durability, though. If it's on an engine stand with wheels, I can push it all day long and not hurt the durability.

Re: The Hardest....?
sinc eyou did say durability aside:
most dont know and wont beleive that tom ferrick had been using a stock block bottom end when he 1st ran high 9's. of course it developed a knock ....
ya know its probably a whole ot cheaper to just buy a handfull of bottom ends from the junk yard and run em till they break..... then again this doenst take into account your labor time redoin it ever month or 2....

i think durability directly affects how hard you can push a stock motor. im sure with good gas a stocker could handle a few 26 psi runs before it explodes. who knows? but you can only push it as hard as the motor can handle=durability.

Re: The Hardest....?
I definately find this hard to believe, if you mean bone stock shortblock. If you mean stock engine block, then yeh thats well believeable seen as how most of you guys in the 10s (non bowtie) could be running high 9s if the trucks were lighter and 2wd.. Dean Oller made some high 10 sec passes with a junkyard longblock in his 2wd ty. I would have to agree that Phillip Long has the most impressive stock motor times.

Re: The Hardest....?
Pretty funny but i said how hard not how far :splat:
Would race gas and alki injection both help to boost it (stock everything, injectors, turbo, i cooler, etc) to 25lbs and keep the knock at bay?
Thanks.

Re: The Hardest....?
Okay, you try pushing an engine along the ground, and then you'll see just how hard it is!HotRudyRod said:BillC said:HotRudyRod said:
