What would you consider big power? Would the Sledgehammer count? ( 750-900 HP )
I think since C4's are so cheap and so available...there is probably millions of them making lots of power.

I think Limey is making over 550 to the rear wheels with his 415 ZR-1. He also sprays with a 200 shot on top of that. :eek: :eek:

Mine does alright for a naturally aspirated pump gas motor, but there are guys out there making more than mine.

Re: Anybody Making Big Power with a C4? (Raistlin)
I dont see how thier rear ends last with that much power? EVen if its a Dana 44 how can it survive 1000+HP?
With that much power and if you use Drag SLicks at the strip, I think the Dana will rip all up? OR will it last? If so then you would need like billit Parts whichj would cost a ton of money, right? :confused:

421 Vette is right. There are lots of guys out there with big power.
I'm in tha same "hood" as 421 Vette, maybe a little more.
Gotta look at my dyno sheets. Don't memorize 'em or use 'em on my sig.
I do run on race fuel though. :cheers:

Personally, I like Hoover. He was doing 10s N/A. Now he's going for 8s. He just updated the page a couple of days ago. Good stuff. http://www.ideasandsolutions.biz/Hoover/top.html :steering: :thumbs: :hurray:

Re: Anybody Making Big Power with a C4? (Vette92)
How is that possible that he is using a Dana 36? :bs That must have been a typo in the Mag, I hear guys breaking the Dana 44 at the strip and dont even have half the power he brings :bs

A Dana 44 won't last with slicks at the drags. A drag specicfic car with that kind of power will almost definetly be running a spool.

I've been talking to a cryo-treater, he seems to think treating a DANA 36 is all it would take to get it to live. Don't know if you've noticed, but DANA 36 parts are a LOT cheaper.
