Ok time to sign up and guess the horsepower on the dyno

[ironman_gq]

you gonna go to the moon with that thing. i'd say close to 1500

[jeep_man_401]

Maybe you'd like to put that monster in my wood hauler...with some slicks you MIGHT me able to get some traction...



Then again, it just might flip all the way over

I sure hope you've got enough bottom end to hold all that. I think with that budget I might have sprung for a custom Callies crank (~$2400) and some Pro-Gram main caps.

No. Stock crank, studs, and a stud girdle.
Why? Can't a stock crank take 100 HP per journal?
Splayd caps breed their own problems.

I think you're going to be making quite a bit more than 500 hp.
I personally would be a little afraid of making 1200-1500 hp on the stock bottom end of anything, even a BBC or Hemi.

Well Jeff, I sure hope you have better luck than we did, partner. (And I thought we had a lot of time and money invested!) We're still waiting to hear something from the machine shop, by the way, that's why we've been quiet lately.

My guess is 1111 HP. You ought to start a pool, and whoever guesses closest wins a prize. What are you putting that monster in? You might have said already, but if you did, I forgot. Can't wait to hear what yours puts out! You ought to make an audio file of it for us too.

I know the feeling, that first startup is scary. You go over a million things in your mind trying to make sure you didn't forget anything.

I think he's planning on putting it in a CJ7!

To be honest me too. I'm not too concerned under 5000 RPM it's that last 1500 RPM and the go fast juice that I'm concerned about. There is a pic or movie from the 1960's or 70's of a Hemi powered car at the drags leaving the line and you can see the crankshaft still attached to whats left of the mains hitting the pavement under the car while it is still turning.

Jeff, are you going to get video of it on the dyno? I would like to try to make it down there when you test it, but I don't think i will be able to get off work
