500 inches on alcohol

What kind of hp is possible with the correct camshaft, set of kaase scj's on a stock block wet sump roller motor with 15.5 or 16:1 compression also would it be pushing the stock two bolt block to its limits plan on getting it four bolted also any good cap recommendations its for a 4 wheel drive pulling truck class states stock block 500 inch limit factory style heads. thanks pullboy

The stock blocks will stand a bunch of torture,hp, and displacement. But my personel experience and opinion IS. If you are planning on staying in this sport,the best money you can spend is the $2K for a good race block. jmo of course.

I guess it would depend on how the rule is written. Does it say stock, factory, OEM ???
If your class requires a "Stock" block then look for a DOVE block and install 4 bolt or splayed caps.
If the rules say "Factory, or OEM" block, then it can be creatively interpreted. You might get away with an A-460 block. You could just say, "Hey, it's a Ford Factory block".

a "D0VE"block with good caps will be your best choice for the stock block rule.rpm is what your looken for to make power with 500".

Sorry, I did'nt see the stock block rule. My Badd

an a 460 block has a Ford casting number that looks just like a factory one............Technicaly its a Factory OEM Block, do the rules state that it had to have been installed in a Car or Truck by the factory?

PS run it on Gas it will make more HP.......

will it?????? that seems to be a big debate...........

What kind of induction are you allowed to run, single 4 bbl, injection, dual quads? 500" deals are easy to do, and with that limit on the engine size and head style, you will have a screamer. Proper oiling, and a good valvetrain are going to be very necessary for it to live and that means Ti valves and the best rockers.

Q16 to M5 thru a carb..... I'll take the Bet if you care to make it.

Theyn wont allow injection and if I use a tunnel ram i cant run in the street stock class but which one makes more power gas or alky?? HP tv says alcohol makes more power than gas in a 383 same motor same comp alky made more power which way should i go????single 4 bbl stock production block and heads what can we do to beat up the chevy's

I'm game, you can even leave the exotics out if you want, plain meth to plain gas................hp and tq numbers averaged.....cant leave out the tq.

I dunno about a pullin truck, but in OK alky gets the car down the track faster in every application myself or others have put it on.............you realize this thread will take off now, wait till KY Jelly gets in here lol.

Aint much love for for us alky guys, but who needs it when your fast...........

Long as its abusin bowties it dont matter what it runs on I'm just curious as to which one will be the best road to take for gobs of torque and HP

I will not participate in a class that will not allow injected methanol or nitromethane in any % I see necessary to get the job done
I reserve the right to use Q16 if I want to though

The fastest dyno's in town run on Q16

Yea but truck pullin works more like a dyno than drag racing .

Ok ,Q16 it is then!! Thank you Mr.February

It's not THAT simple.
How much fuel you NEED to pass through a single carb will be a lot dependent upon the size of the carb and the total amount oif fuel you need to make the specific horsepower.
If you run methanol LEAN then it hasn't got a chance up against Q16 in a horsepower race. When the horsepower gets up in the higher ranges, you can't get enough methanol; to pass through one carb unless you make the carb total air cfm less.

In short ... the higher the power level, the more difficult it is to get enough methanol through ONE carb in order to extract the power.

I did not say that , never paint yourself into a corner mr Hobbs

I know how to paint JY Kelly

are you serious

Yes sir you got xxx horsepower and it takes just a little bit to get the sled moving and a little bit of traction , if the weight was on the front of the sled at the begining it would be like applying the water brake full tilt on an engine at idle on a dyno .

There is a lot more to it than that , but you do not shift and you want wheel speed and maximum momentum and horsepower as soon as possible . Gas shines on the horsepower end simply because it burns faster and more efficiently at high rpm.

It's the never ending struggle...finding a fuel that is not only efficient but popular also.

it ain't a popularity contest......... If cow piss made more power than gas or meth I'd run it.......and not give a damn what other though about it lol.

I guess you missed KY's post about how 'popular' methanol was.
