@@haydona1845 that doesn't make any sense, that almost entirely has nothing to do with heat soak, and what does "custom" mean anyways? Stickers and glitter? It's completely dependent on design and engineering, sure, thicker castings and bigger cooling jackets could help but, that doesn't mitigate the fact that compressing air always greatly increase intake charge temp and component temp.

Long time ago when fuel injection was getting into the consumer market (yup, that old) I kinds didn't like it. Now, I do like it. Better fuel control and less susceptible to getting bounced around or off angle like a rock crawler gets often. The other reason is all on me. Me and carbs have never really got along.

If you're gonna erase it you have to have at least 3 to 4 thousands on the mains it's better to have a little lower oil pressure and have plenty of oil than to have not enough clearance and too much oil in the Pan yeah you've got killer pressure but it can't get where it needs to go and survive that seems to be a new problem with the Dodge and Fort motors as their clearances are too tight for race motors
