Who's going for the Record??

Stomp's 680 rwhp was in 2005. Who's gonna kill it?

I know I'm gunning for it, albeit with 3 stages of spray.

At 208hp I have some work to do!! Taking the parking brake off should be good for another 200hp or so, right??

Was it KTA with 680hp or Stomp?

Not that I'm an expert on this, but I'm assuming its trying to attain the last half of the 680HP wants that'll cost the most!

Lol, its true... BUT...

If you copy their setups from the start, it shouldnt cost that much money...

Their setups arent under tight lock and key, its the little things that make the big power.

62/71 s300, s475(ish), Buddha power 6x16s, 14mm head, a-1000 with boost referenced fuel pressure with the front seal glued in the pump, dual feed (because the vane pump cant keep up), ported head, and all the supporting mods to keep the head down. All the rest is tuning... Which has also been gone over countless times on all of the forums.

I think there is lots of airflow to be had just from a simple bowl blend and nice grind job on the valves and seats...

Personally, I cant afford a lot of the stuff on that list right now, but i have a pretty much smoke free 350+ hp... Im sure given the time and money I could make at least 600 on fuel... 500 with the 12 mm head...

I talked to KTA a while back and he said there are like 20 trucks around his area running around with the 14mm, making about 400 hp. Some even with stock turbos. If you keep the pumps turned down for extended driving, and limit your rpm to about 3500, I think that helps em a lot.

That's what I'm saying....there are hundreds of p-pump guys who spend the same amount of cash to get c.600, why can't one of us cheap first genners do it?

And you're right about the valve job. You can get 10% or so out of a really nice 3 angle valve job.

Won't that cook valves though, a 3-angle cut I mean. That's an awful lot of heat to be trying to get rid of through not much surface area. Sure, that's what all the gassers do, but their temps are a lot lower than ours, no? Still, you'd know a lot more about it than me! And maybe that nitrous cools things down for you. I'm not sure exactly how that works...?

I'll have to check, I thought it was a 3-angle...you'd be surprised at how well that gassers stuff works on diesels sometimes. Heck, Banks still runs a non-lockup converter in their drag truck.
