Yep... I’m Plan B…. I've been a member here for a while and I'm sure I've posted B4? Quote:
8.3 @ 165mph! It’s an 04 model but hardly a street car, so I like giving accolades towards true street cars when they are due. Quote:

The unopened debate has gone on several times before and it is generally accepted that if oil pump gears are replaced it is counted as being opened. You're correct about reliability, but fitting gears does give the benefit of being able to rev the motor higher which itself does help track times. There is also the chance of cam timing being altered while things are apart a couple of threads of past discussions http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthr...light=unopened http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthr...=unopened+poll there are more threads about it Most threads tend to get locked I think this thread is not about debating unopened Vs opened, but to highlight Craigs times, may it should be left to another thread :

Full report in the ACE section soon. Cheers everybody for the kind comments. And i class the BOSS V8 engine program OPENED if you have fitted Billet Oil Pump Gears as it is a performance advantage. The oil pump gear discussions that have taken place on these forums has always gone a bit crazy but the general consensus here is that unlike the LS1 deal where you can change valve springs and still call the car unopened we class these cars as opened because the engine HAS to be opened to fit these gears, it's got me stuffed how you can change valve springs on a LS1 without opening it........end of story. |
