Actually a Powerstroke is bigger!
Well Nick........ you are still watching the thread, I was wondering if you would answer my question, obviously you haven't. I've also asked a few other times in other threads for a response and you seem to not find the need to answer. Since the original question asked "what was the largest IC to fit" and you responded with the PS, can you answer my question as well?
the one with actual measurements?
Actually a Powerstroke is bigger!
It is obvious that most any IC will turn the number, BUT does that mean it's the most efficient? Guys are turning 9.80 with $6,000.00 stock block motors, why do they need to spend $15,000.00 for a TA alum. motor................ because they want the best...........they don't want to do again for the next upgrade. ICers are no different. You base your statements on running 9.80 something..... what did Dick run, what did Len run, just to name a few, and most importantly what IC were they running? In case anyone is curious, they run Cottons IC, and they ran stock blocks....... and they ran 9.70-80's I believe....
You base the performance level of the PS on having run 9.80 something, you say it's as good as a Cotton's frt mount "at that level", how do you know that? Did you hook up measuring and testing equipment, run back to back under similar conditions with both ICers and determine that? If so, great!!! If not you need to temper your statements!!
As for this topic getting off the original question, sorry, I am only responding to content related to my product. As Dave stated and others have to me, they like the idea of a cheaper, functional IC, but many did not want to "hack" up their frt end and radiator support....
Have a sparkling day.............
