I was just wondering if anyone on this board had broken the 400 HP barrier at the rear wheels? If so, what mods have you done to get that much power? Thanks.

There is a guy on the NLOC board posting that he got 406. He put up his dyno plots too.

The post does say it and there is a dyno plot to back it up,BUT the E.T and MPH do not even come close.This guy ran in 34 degree air and ran a 8.58 at 82.51 MPH that would be a 13.40's in the 1/4! Speed dictates horsepower and his speed is not even remotely close to 400RWHP.Dynoes walk E.T's talk.Just my .02 cents!

12.37 @ 110.55
12.38 @ 110.24

Those are my best times, without nitrous or a convertor on stock manifolds. The times were made at a weight of 4700 lbs. and of course run back to back. temp was in the mid 60's with BP at 30.47.

I have not had my truck on the dyno in some time. Wasn't there a HP calculator some where on the web, I lost it, and cant seem to find the link to it. I know it's not that acuurate, I was just curious. Anone care to guess what Power #'s come from my times above??

 

The corral's hp estimator says 4700lbs 110 trap speed = 499hp. Mad/Betty should be here soon

 

BBQMAN,

It can't be right, that's obviously a way too high of a number. The times are real but not that rating. There was one other site that someone posted and I believe I came out with a 430 or around that for H.P.

Hope KILLA' doesn't see this My truck, mild with almost 500 ponies...KILLA' say it aint so j/k

 

was that 4700 lbs with driver?, there are a couple of calculators there. try it. click on technical features at bottom. http://www.corral.net/

good thing you held it down to 499, your crank is rated at 500. Damn Spiro, your walking the tightrope

 

LOL...real tight. I know what I'm doing LOL

Yes, 4700 with Driver, I rolled up both times and was 4725 and 4718 the next time by for some reason.

But dont use those numbers, that Crank will snap LOL

 

heres another http://www.dsm.org/tools/calchp.htm

Mr Scott, i need one more horsepower!

i'm having trouble holding her together now, Captain!!, one more horsepower and she'll blow for sure!!


if you use this vette calc, your putting out 650 hp at the flywheel

BBQMAN,

I better experiment with the lowest settings on the go-go juice kit I somehow have a beast on my hands LOL

Thanks Andy

 

Here's what http://www.dsm.org/tools/calchp.htm came up with

Using the ET method, It came up with 491 horsepower
Using the Speed method, It came up with 496 horsepower

 

Last dyno run I made showed 478 RWHP and then we hit the nos on the next run and it showed 517 RWHP with a 50 shot.

12.36 1/4 at 4660 lbs.

Go-Go Juice...here I come

 

I'm using a 100shot. no wonder i am feeling a throbbing in my crank. i better dig in my "jet jar" and see if there is like a 10 or 12lb jet
