Hi, I have a 350 with a performer intake, GM iron heads, XE262 cam, 8.7 compression (help here, its one of those 270hp replacement 350's) and a qjet on top obviously, so, are ck rods and a b hanger gunna be too much for me? i plan on either getting some alum L98 heads or maybe vortec heads (some suggestions there would be nice too ) later. so, these rods hangar gunna be too much for me?

 

What rods and hangers are you talking about?

 

like i said, ck and b

 

and i guess maybe there are ck hangars and b rods, didnt think of that, but maybe. anyway ck rods, b hangar

 

SIGH. 270 horse?!! bahh,
I have the same buildup.

I knew I've driven faster cars.

Anyway, I am trying the same combo tomorrow, going from F Hanger CH Rods, so I'll post what happens.

d0H! me drop da rod into da carb. (assuming moronic voice)

later,

 

OK the F hanger and CH rods are out, and the CK rods and B hangers are in.

The difference?

A noticeable power increase past 3500+ RPM once the cam (XE262) hits peak torque, louder, deeper "droning" noise coming from the open air element.

Quicker throttle response, although I thought this increase was more subtle than the mid-upper rpm power increase.

The differences overall were noticable, but not huge. For the price, and simplicity, a mod that should be one of the first things that you do.

Later,
Hype.

 

hehe, and its rated at 270 or so with the cam it comes with, not the 262...anyway, thanks, i ordered mine already

 

I'm running DR's on a B with the combo in the sig. Also open element (for now).

Couldn't be happier.

Try the CK's with a B. My L69 seems to like those a lot (and so do I!)
