Dyno Sheet: 995.4 rwhp & 920.4 rwtq on my DynoJet

[632C2]

Using my conversion formula, this means 1179.4 hp and 1090.5 tq at the flywheel. These numbers are with the second level of jetting. My system has 4 levels so that means I have 2 left. Also, John(69 N.O.X. RATT) asked about the nitrous system. It is a NOS Double Cross that has been flowed by Jeff Prock at Applied Nitrous Technology. Anyone that is interested in jet maps, etc. should contact him for the info. [Modified by 542C2, 7:38 PM 4/28/2003]

Great info Steve, you will obviously pass 1000 at the wheels. When you get done with the testing would you mind doing a post on what you have learned? I noticed with this run your peak HP was significantly lowert than N/A. I wonder if this is a trend as you give the motor even more NO2.

Judging from you runs so far you may end up well over 1100 rwhp.

[427Hotrod]

FANFRIGGINTASTIC!!!

I gotta go for a ride in that dude at least once!!!

It can't be too hard to hook up 1000 rwhp right?

I see 1100 RWHP on the horizon!!


And that motor just keeps on taking a licking!! I think I am as impressed with the reliabilty of that dyno mule there as I am with the HP numbers! That sucker has endured a gazillion dyno runs in it's life and keeps on purring!

Thanks guys, I will keep you posted on the results of further testing.

One of my goals on this forum is to see how many people are interested in real horsepower and torque numbers and not "guesstimates". Judging from the responses so far, it looks like "pie in the sky" is more popular...

[427Hotrod]

Well, if I add 'em all up..I think there are about 11 or 12 of us now!!!


I think you'e going to have to write more "glowing" reports and not just confuse everyone with facts!! ;)


JIM

[632C2]

When's a good time to talk tomorrow?

[ML67]

I can state w/ certainty *I'm* more interested in actual numbers. What I really like about your combination is it has been accomplished while maintaining all the lines of the C2 Corvettes that make it such a desireable car.

Well maybe your "stingersaurus" violates this a little. :)

Great job! Now you're really going to have to install a cage...

Take care,

Mark

That is absolutly amazing numbers, I heard about your Dyno being the raised style, all I can think is I would be scared out of my mind seeing that kind of HP spinning the tires 8 feet in the air all being held in place by some simple straps.. UGHH.. None the less awsome work, keep it up and lets show the Forum what NW corvettes are all about!!. :) hopefully I could join the High hp number club soon.

[632C2]

Mark: Thanks for the feedback. How are things coming along on yours?

WashingtonRacer: Again, thanks. The runs are definitely exciting but they only last 4 seconds! As far as joining the "High hp" club, the only way to really do it is with either an engine dyno, chassis dyno, or at the track. Don't go the way of others and do the "shoulda, coulda, woulda" route. Those numbers are just hot air. How far are you along on your deal?

[bence13_33]

All I can say is wow! :eek:

I couldn't even begin to fathom what 1000 horsepower at the rear wheels would feel like. Good luck with your testing.

[WashingtonRacer]

Out of curiousity,do you have a DD2000 number? I am just curious how close the numbers may be?

I am actually getting pretty close, the only things I need the the current moment to begin putting the motor back together is a Clutch/Flywheel. Only problem is I am trying to find the best possible clutch that will hold the power yet provide the ability to be drivin in traffic. Once I do that, I can get the whole setup balanced, then I can finally start putting everything together. After that point, I will need a ECU and will finally be able to start her up. But after that point before I could even attempt to drive her, I imagine I will have to do something with the rear end. But on the bright side, I don't imagine it would take that long to do that portion of the project. I am almost ready to spray down a new paint job. "I hope to finish doing some body moulding this week." what kind of trannie are you using? and Kamis told me that you are running the toms rear end, is this a whole rear end, or just internals replaced?

[The Green Rocket]

For sure "pie in the sky" will win over real numbers. Not suprising since most enthusiasts are into image over substance. Ever notice how many more hot rods show up for a cruise rather than the drags?

The ease with which 1,000+ reliable horsepower is available is amazing - in the latest Summernats Australia I see that one power crazy hot rodder clicked off 1,376 rwhp, second place was plenty stout at 1,206 - second place being all the more impressive because all that power came from a pump gas twin turbo 383 Holden.

bence13_33: Thanks for the encouragement.

WashingtonRacer: In my opinion, DD2000 is a part of the problem. The numbers are BS. It appears to be a coincidence if the numbers it "calculates" and the actual numbers are the same. I actually spent money on this program and it was a mile off for ALL of my motors. People that use and rely on this program seem to be able to justify it but I have never heard of any REAL engine builders that use this program for anything. I am currently using a G-Force clutch assisted drag racing 5-speed and the full kill Tom's 1480 system. Supposedly good for 8 second ET's.

The Green Rocket: I agree with you about the image over substance. As far as your statement "The ease with which 1,000+ reliable horsepower is available...", I would have to disagree. We may be in that rarified air but in reality, there are not too many others that actually are. I am sure that there are a lot of people that think they are making that kind of power but we know otherwise.

I saw that magazine article you mentioned and was actually stunned! 1376 rwhp and 1206 rwhp are incredible numbers and equally as difficult to obtain. It takes cubic dollars and, more importantly, cubic hours to not only produce anything over 1000 hp but to also maintain it. There are so many things that have to be in place. How often do you REALLY ever hear of street cars with a verifiable 1000+ hp? I posted a topic a little while ago about 1000+ rwhp street cars and got only a few responses. I subscribe to virtually every non-ricer automotive publication and very rarily see any street cars with 1000+ hp - whether at the rear wheels or on the engine dyno.

For example, how many people on the CorvetteForum have cars with over 1000 hp?

[korvetkeith]

Maybe 5-10 out of the 20-30 thousand members. You, merlin, monty and black bart's are actual street cars. I can't think of any C4s or C5s, but I do think there are alot of them in the 800+ range. :crazy:

[427Hotrod]

I can't resist.....


Oh look Steve.....you're in the same HP league as Merlin!!! :reddevil


You guys all need to re-read the history of Merlin. It took a lot of money and work, but he hasn't even "outhorsepowered" many of the N/A cars around here yet!!

I believe he was in the "much less than 600 rwhp" area last time I checked.

This stuff takes alot of real work to produce.

[632C2]

Oh, no.....now you went and did it.

Watch out, all the followers will rebel!

[WashingtonRacer]

thats my whole problem with the DD 2000, the numbers just don't seem to match, what I am trying to build. I like the idea of plugging in possible engine combinations and come up with some sort of ball park figure. at least then you know which route to go. But to be honest I had most of my engine planned before I even took a look at the DD2000. The biggest problem I found was the CFM rating when being forced inducted. Perhaps I am wrong, but to my understanding, the more CFM you push the more potential power you can make, the DD2000 says opposite. it said I would have closer to 1,300hp with 100cfm, while at 800cfm it said more like 700.. now that just seems a little off to me. If you don't mind me asking, about how much did it run you to get that trans? also how does it handle soft driving?

[632C2]

The trans was $5500. There is no such thing as "soft" driving with this trans. That is one of the things that makes it so fun.

[Light84vette]

Im guessing you have a solid rear axel right? Can an IRS even live behind that? :confused: :crazy: :crazy:
