You don't sound very dissapointed!! Sure, you got 489rwhp but all that work and money just went BOOM!!! But nice numbers nonetheless

 

Man, that is cruelty to small creatures - the ASPCA will be looking for ya!

I got 30 dyno runs to make 500+ BHP, 438 at the wheels with 8.5 psi. But that is with an 4.6L DOHC engine designed from the gound up to take that and much more (forged crank, Manley rods, iron block, ARP bolts, forged pistons, 8.5 CR, etc). Some guy is making reliable 800+ rwhp with a Kenne Bell and NOS on this thing and has not blown anything. Amazing.

I wonder if you are going to make your goal in a small engine never designed for such huge boost. And with what reliability? Maybe I am chicken, but every time I goosed it I would be cringing.

Gotta give you credit for trying.

 

I applaud your tenacity. I also must say that you have to have balls that clank to keep trying after blowing up that many times. Maybe the next time will be the magic number you are looking for.

 

nope, havent really heard much on it, i knew it was built, but didnt know to what extent. Hope everything works out!

 

489 @ 19lbs!!!! Very impressive!!!!

Sorry to hear about the grenade...

 

Unbelievable! You had it for a week. Sorry for your troubles. Nice numbers.

 

 

Where is the week spot that needs improvement?
What parts were you using for internals?
I would like to go 14-25psi or I should stay under 20psi base on your experience.

Christ. Almost 250hp/liter.
