The Mike and Joe HP battle begins !!!!

Mike is in the lead. 1205HP. over 1000ft lbs of torque from 3700RPM to 6500RPM. Although, Joey is making some changes now, so we will see! When it comes to the water tests, my money is on the 38 Fever with the #6's though!

Yup,,,,will see Thurs,,,,,if Pro Systems is right,,,,maybe tickling 1300,,,,,ugh

Those engines are gonna have more run time on the dyno than they've had in the boat in a year! And I thought I was nuts!

[MILD THUNDER]

[QUOTE=ICDEDPPL;580096]oh yeah at 1200rpm they sure idle sweet but the ol bravos slam hard anything over 900.
Anyway you carb cheerleaders, I prefer to do my tuning with a laptop instead of a screwdriver in a 1955 time machine [/QUOTE

I'll keep my laptop for looking up porn, and keep using the screwdrivers for now when it comes to fun.

[ICDEDPPL]

ok apples to oranges Joe.

Lets do apples to apples Dan:

1955 Chevy say hello to 2012 chevy

We're waiting!!!!!!

OH MY !!!!!!

[kerigoff]

Is dave running it on the dyno? Smack him around if he is! He knew Brian, Brian did his first paint job on his dragster. He built both of the elders motors and well I hope next year to have some help from him to finish one of Boo's other unfinished projects...

[OBNOXUS]

yup,,,,its Dave.

Water line broke to the dyno.

I replumbed it and letting PVC glue dry,,,,,try again tomorrow !!!

[kerigoff]

Well you boys r in good hands. He's a smart one and he genuinely loves what he does. When we built the 509 for the Chevelle I worked right up the street and spent many lunchs hanging out there with Ted and Sharon. Dave and I became friends being the same age and I was thoroughly impressed with how the place looks with the new owner.

Dave is very cool!! Small world.

I will say though, I am pretty impressed with the whole procharger deal. Considering there is nothing exotic about the engines themselves, they are gonna make real close to 1300HP In my guess now that the bugs are worked out, and it can be pulled a bit higher. Today they made 1221 I think at 6000RPM, but that was as high as it was pulled. Power keeps climbing.

The thing that impresses me, is 522CI, which is small by todays standards, just a little 4" stroke crank. Edelbrock aluminum heads with little runners, stock!!! No fancy CNC heads,I would bet that with a 871 roots, they'd be lucky to make 800-850HP on pump gas with the longblock combo he has. Granted I personally would detune these a bit if they were going in my boat, but......

[kerigoff]

Whats all that shiny chit? Are those the things that make it whistle? Who you gonna pay to clean them? Just Kidding Joe. I do agree that a 522 is small in today's world. The 509 just had some nice Lunati rods, cam with some easy head work on the stock heads and the stock intake until it was replaced with an edelbrock. My favorite part was the demon 1050, no doubt! When it was on the dyno I think it did about 650.

I don't get to play around with those type things much anymore, but I sure would like to know what the noticable difference will be when I put a big box of parts on my bike!

[MILD THUNDER]

I won't be polishing any of that shiny stuff cuz they ain't mine, they are the other joeys engines! I'm getting away from all that polished stuff, too much upkeep!

I'm sure Dave can get that bike running!

[kerigoff]

The bike is my project to cuss n scream at! I think I can handle doing the 2 into 1 exhaust and the naked air kit. That power commander scares me though! I got black exhaust for it because I want to ride not clean! Thankfully I have both of Brian's bikes stored at a friend who is retired. He's been a huge help with keeping them clean and starting both of them.
