Helmut Ranff Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Talked to several people state side and over seas who have tested several blocks to destruction. Apparently a harmonics issue comes into play at very high RPM. Sounds kind of like an odd problem for anything designed by "professionals" but several unrelated companies haver relayed the same approximate info. IN all their photos the blocks had failed in about the same way?Charles-I totally agree and so we need to see what you can do with the Dartons :tup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Che'_Moderator Posted February 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Charles-I totally agree and so we need to see what you can do with the Dartons I am not going for that much power so someone else will have to be the test bed. BTW fix your sig. Its too big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorqueSteer Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 (edited) 362 whp on a stock Volvo engine, whats the problem here? I would have never expected it to last. What was Evolve thinking to mod a stock block to this hp and sell the kit to the public?Also how in the heck do those bolt ons cost $16410.00? Did they itemize what made up that cost?
