jones 2000 hp post

this can be a reliable combo

a heads or better 572ci 4.500x 4.500 a block 2 88turbos, or larger, the problem is fuel,and spark,and if its an alc engine then the heads better flow well.


when you get the tune right it will live

mr wells is doing it in his outlaw 10.5 ride with an a block and c heads ....3000 plus hp and can go 150 passes before any maintence

I am mainly wondering about the 1,600 - 2,000 hp area. I see pleanty of c-headed, aluminum block, EFI, twin turbo rides. What about the pro-mod stuff of the early 90's?

i would say an a-block with a nice set of a-heads done by c.evans , diamond pistons, ,oliver billet rods , bryant crank, twin 88's amd with the right tune 2000 hp all day long

What if the rules say you can only use one power adder, no turbos, no EFI and no alky or e85!

so no turbos .... but a supercharger ?? or a single stage ???

i was going to give you this link but its from proline racing but just ck it out anyway

for a supercharger deal this guys build some 2000hp pump gas stuff

you are going to be hard pressed to build a 2000hp a-headed single kit nos engine ....or its going to be damn exotic ....maybe Lem, Randy or Charlie might chime in on this one

Is race gas the limiting factor with a roots blown engine? If so what is the limit with race gas and blower?

I would think that the heat produced by the gas and the supercharger would make the tuning window impossible to keep up with at 2000hp. But, I'm not a blower or gas guy.

I doubt the bulk of the members cars here would handle 2000hp let alone your truck Josh.............

Quit daydreaming and get that damn thing together..................

then you build a bbc pro charged mustang...

what about Prochargers new F4....capable of 3400hp is is read it right on Dragzine.com today

Why would you allow one power adder but turbos are not one of them?

Well anyway, if those were the rules I would build a BBF with an F3 procharger blow thru setup on Q16.

From what I can tell there isn't a single turbo large enough to support 2,000hp.

I'm just thinking down the road and I ain't scared!

I aint scared either...............but even if I hit the lotto I aint gonna have the coin to do it..............

One day, after I get the truck running and sorted out my goal is to have a root style blown engine. It might not make 2000hp but if it made over 1200hp and sounded nasty I'd be happy!

You're almost right about a single turbo but it seems to me that most "single power adder" classes allow twins as a single power adder. A large single would be fine on a medium size BBF.

it doesn't really matter though. the F3 bbf on Q would make killer power.

Hell, if you had a bigger motor then the new F4 would be awesome. have you seen the power results over on YB.


And your little 1200 hp goal would be EASY now days.

I think I may be shooting for the HORSEPOWER stars!!!

A low to mid 500 inch BBF with a Precision 118 turbo would be a pretty good combo.

I'm just going by the rules I am looking at running now days with the local 275 class.

No, I haven't seen anything on the new f4, I was wondering if there was anyone running one yet. I think I would be happy with a used littlefield, BDS 10/71 old 2 lobe rotor that surged at you. The first pro-mod race I worked I was on the top end of the track working the safety cart and the sound of those pro-mods cranking-up and surging like wild broncos ready to run!

If I was to run a 275 class I don't think that I would run a roots blown combo. That instant torque would be very hard to handle.........but not impossible.

You would have to spend all the money you saved buying the old school stuff to buy traction control!

These are expensive! I was surprise at how much they cost. (screw type)

a league of their own!!
