SEMA here I come

[XJHEAD]

Talked to Andy today, still in 6th place for the DYNOMAX POWER TO THE WHEELS CONTEST nobody pushed me back today. Only 4 more can qualify for the event. Worst case, I will be in 10th place.
Sorry just had to brag a little bit today..:icon_bounce:

I get a nice expense paid trip to Vegas, then I can blow it up on the dyno:icon_scratch:

Hmmm, not an import in there either:icon_rabbit: just a lil' jab

1930 called. It wants its truck engine back.
Does that thing have a handle coming out of the front that helps you start it ?
Ferrari and Formula 1 both run some pretty nice V8s. No pushrods in either

Oh, by the way that 60's technology must still work

See but you didn't make a thread about replacing your heads and proclaiming pushrods > all like CMK did.

As we can all see, pushrods have done very well for you. Good luck!

Do not remeber the 14psi one, but at 24 I was 1024rwhp

[amicheze]

That's ridiculous.

Good luck!

[KA-T_240]

mmmm 14psi around 750ish

20psi just under 1200.

for some reason this reminds me of this quote "having 800 whp is like having a 15inch dick, it's cool until you try to use it". lol But other than that its pimp. Is there gonna be a final competition at SEMA?

Cars will be on display. Tuesday they will run them on the dyno (testing) numbers kept private, Wednesday, they will compete.

1st Place, $25,000
2nd Place $10,000
3rd Place $5,000

[KA-T_240]

I bet you want to take home 1st. Thats alot of $$$

It would be nice, I don't think the internals can take 1600 FWHP, unless it did it under 5,000 rpm's. I know a couple of the cars will be cranking out more at the finals. I am guessing 1st place will need 1400+ rwhp, 4th on up, at least 1200

[beachbum_jon]

well if you are in 6th place, what is in 1st?

Just do your best and make sure you dot your i's and t's etc and when you walked away you can feel you didn't leave anything on the table. Good job and good luck!!

Hey dude, I think I saw your car run on the dyno at carcraft summer nationals. That one and the nova that's in 3rd place in the national standings.
