I plan on tearing down my 450 soon and am looking for suggestions on a good pump gas build. Currently from what the previous owner told me the current mods are an Ice Cube jug (unsure of bore), 3mil crank, unsure on piston, Stage 1 HotCam, Ported and Polished head, bored FCR, LRD Full Exhaust and I believe that's it for engine work. I'm not sure of actual compression but he told me he always ran 110 so I did as well. Id like to rebuild the top end but am unsure on which path to take. I'm thinking 12:1 Wiseco piston stock bore but the rest I'm unsure of. What would you guys suggest for a cam, valves, and head work. I'm trying to avoid cracking into the bottom end so I plan on leaving the 3mil crank in it. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
It's cute when people throw out advice when they don't really have any technical data to back it up.... JE and Wiseco are the same company... As a matter of fact JE was bought out by wiseco over 10 years ago.... Wiseco pistons are an excellent choice for the trx...
You might be boned if your stroker crank had a special piston or cylinder made to accommodate the added stroke....
agree that the stage 1 cam dosnt make sense for your setup.... It's an awesome cam... But not a match for yours
Mixxer, what do you mean with the crank? I believe its a run of the mill Hot Rod +3.....I plan on putting a stock jug back on with a stock comp piston hoping to stay at pump gas levels. Were you trying to point out something I'm missing? I'm hoping to have a strong, fairly dependable wheeler when I'm done with this which is why I came here for advice. Which valves would you guys suggest? Thanks again guys!
I am willing to bet you have the same setup as I had. 488 with a +3 hotrods crank. I have run several brands of pistons I didn't have a problem with any of them but i would do the 12.5.1 compression. If you ever want to get rid of that big bore jug, I would be interested.
Ok cool I was told that the crank will add 1 point of compression glad I know the actual number now. Does anyone know the bore of the different Ice Cube jugs because I cant seem to find them. I don't know what size big bore it is so when I tear it down ill measure it and go from there. Also what would you guys suggest for head work and valves? Thanks again!
I'd say stick with 12:1 tops with that crank to stay on pump gas. On head work, everyone will have an opinion and usually what they run is the best, with that being said, I run and sell Dasa porting with +1 Ex. valves and the head is a beast, you won't go wrong with anything Dasa. I do see a lot of guys here recommend Racer's Edge and even Mixxer although I have no personal knowledge of their work. If you are interested in Dasa then send me a PM. And a HC2 might be a better choice for you.
X2 call max rpm/ice cube once you pull head & measure cylinder millimeters,they may have the gaskets/piston in stock & email you the original build sheet so your not guessing
Mixxer is a great guy to deal with , he is one of the few guys I would ever trust with my head . I should have my head back from him next week as well as my Scredum bored carb can't wait
