.. and a well tuned engine is a big part of that, whether you have 150 or 1000 hp.
I find dyno readings interesting to compare, not just peak power, but especially what’s happening at any revs.
And i do believe those 700-1000 hp figures .... but when you have 500 hp at 6000 rpm, 600 at 6100 rpm, 700 at 6200 rpm and 800 at 6300 rpm and your engine only revs till 6400 ..... those horses aren’t really interesting to have 😂.

Not for me we just finished alistair engine.

. . . Dick Landy. My foggy memory says Landy was a Dodge sponsored racer back in the good ol' days. And while dual plug hemi heads were around then, they were strictly for drag racing. To get them working on a street motor takes some savvy. ...

I found an online article with info on Bagshaw . . .

. . . and boy, was I ever off! First, he continued racing after the tragic incident in St Louis the following year, but for a year only. Second, he won a lot of races during his stint as a pro between '66 and '76, including the mythical Last Race at Lyons...

That’s what i call these guys. A couple of months ago i was at the local Ferrari dealer and they showed me a 512 BB V12(180degrees) with 6 double carburettors (correct me if i’m wrong) waiting to be adjusted .... by a guy coming in from Holland ... probab...

Performance cams typically have durations ranging from 220 up to 280 degrees or more. The longer the duration, the rougher the idle and the higher the cam’s power range on the rpm scale. A cam with a duration of 240 degrees of higher will typically produc...
My builder doesn't believe in dyno power readings.
By: Bill : February 5th, 2021-12:49
Just how hard she pulls on the road. These days you have guys claiming 700-1000 hp but when it is wheels on the ground they don't pull so hard. But yes your calculation is correct. HAGWE

Did you consider building the engine . . .
By: Dr No : February 5th, 2021-12:48
. . . around E85? There's a few stations that carry the stuff around here, and they're popping up in OC, too. My hunch is it would run more effectively on E85 with the cam and compression you're running.
It'll take a special carb . . .
By: Dr No : February 5th, 2021-13:02
. . . and a few other adjustments, not to mention a non-reactive fuel tank, lines, and pump. But the other upside to 100+ octane E85 is that it runs about 15º F cooler than gas, so engines last longer, tolerances can be tighter, and you can even run moder...

that is one serious setup

all i can say is that is going to produce some serious power can't wait to see what you put that into
you are killing me
By: jerry6 : February 22nd, 2021-08:04
with that insane hemi and a charger ! are you going to run NA or are you going to add nitrous or some other power adder , not that you'll need it , you will probably be making over 800hp as it is
