bighossf150 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 his going with 18 6x9 in a blowthrough the cam i got for the 454.. if my idle was choppy then, it will get even choppier (lift will not be disclosed) the carb on it was closer to 1k with the hose and fittings ballpark specs? Used to have a loud truck 2009 Corvette Z06, H/C/I, 150 shot, g force tune, 730rwhp/690rwtq 2013 F-150 limited, MPT Tune, leveled on 35"s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starkey814 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 love the look of those bikes. I have a 883 back in the day. its all about the NRHS Performance 1250 kits. said the devil on your shoulder. I have been looking into the 1250 kit but I think I will probably just stick with the 1200 kit and the 30 tooth front belt pulley for better highway RPM. That bike screams running 65MPH. I put a tach on it. Running 65, I'm turning 4K RPM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put a tach on it. Running 65, I'm turning 4K RPM. yea the bikes need a damn 6th gear and it would be fine! I ended up just riding slower to be honest...if I had the power though it would even out the torque curve and rev band I think. Don't foget that if you the 1200 or the 1250 kit thats not where the big horsepower gains are, its all in the cams/lifters/HEAD PREP! But you can do a 1200 kit with a stage 2 head prep and pick up 20hp easy. If you did a 1250 and a stage 2 you are looking at 85-95hp at the crank. guys who ride sport bikes (like me) you look at the 135hp or 120hp sportbikes but you don't realize until later that its like 135hp and 27ft lbs. Sportsters are torque happy! definitely a lot more fun on the street IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really not going for HP numbers, I just want a little more fun and less highway RPM. Maybe later on down the road, it might be a HP number chaser.....hell I don't know. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguels Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 his going with 18 6x9 in a blowthrough the cam i got for the 454.. if my idle was choppy then, it will get even choppier (lift will not be disclosed) the carb on it was closer to 1k with the hose and fittings ballpark specs?It's not that big. It's the biggest streetable cam I could get. Its bigger than the edelbrock ones for sure. I might be going with aluminium heads and I think I might upgrade the cam with a roller setup if I do my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krakin Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 I'm actually surprised, seems a quality unit for $67. It's really bright but the bass is very natural. Did have to EQ the highs down a little, been listening for the past 2 hours, not nearly as fatiguing as listening directly out of my sound card. Was really harsh for the first 10 minutes, then it mellowed out. Now to find a nice native DSD DAC to go with it. I'm sure I'm gonna be disappointed when i start looking at prices... I still can't get into tube amps.I wish I could, but I just can't accept that they purposefully colour the sound due to the technology. Krakin's Home Dipole Project http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186153-krakins-dipole-project-new-reciever-in-rockford-science/#entry2772370 Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist? I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . . What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself but what has drawn your attention in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears, thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

I still can't get into tube amps.I wish I could, but I just can't accept that they purposefully colour the sound due to the technology. It's actually very pleasant to listen to. Think of it as anti aliasing for music. Not the most perfect analogy, but what tubes lack in accuracy, they make up for in warmth. If I plug straight into my soundcard, which is a shitty Realtek chip, it gets fatiguing after a few minutes even. With this headphone amp, I've been able to go through whole albums. I do have a Asus Xonar card, but you can see my computer case won't accommodate it. Guess I'm swapping out cases this weekend. Can't wait to try them out together. 2007 Pacifica Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakin Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Okay I can get that, but I still think that it is a crutch for the circuit. As for the Xonar card, I have a Xonar D1 and I love it. I use the Dolby Headphone processing option and it fixes a lot of the spatial distortion issues you get by using headphones. It does however run at a lower bitrate when using it.
