Strike me roan mate :mrgreen: I couldn't resist :wink:

I guess it was going to happen, what with that engine to play with.

10secs tho, that's impressive, i would have though it wouldn't get under 12 cos of all the power
:o

Wow, that's insane.
Thanks for the link.

yeh, i know. im just amazed how the hell they got traction!

and all that power without forced induction, truley crazy!

I love the LSx based push rod motor.. but seriously..

Until I see the dyno charts and time sheets for the run - I think we might chalk this up to a "fishing story".. ;)

It may FLOW 658hp worth of fuel mixture - but on pump gas and without a power adder at stock displacement and not running super strong valve train so it can spin to 7500rpm+ - he is not putting 658hp out of that motor.. ;)

The most agressive cams and high comp LSx stock displacement motors will give about 525 crank hp without a power adder.. :)

Anyone actually have the full article so we can see the low down on this engine? Dyno charts etc?

My guess is that this motor sounds like many of the heads/cam motors around these parts and puts about 460rwhp (525+- crank HP)

I would love to believe that he has a 550rwhp stock displacement LSx engine.. but I dunno so much.. :lol: ;)

^^ and with that Info, (460rwhp max), id say he's not into the 10's with it. You usually need around 550-600hp to run 10s, and that thing would have trouble hooking up for sure, especially since it doesnt look like its a full out drag set-up at all.

here is the time slip

and some posts on LS1 forum.
from what i believe it runs 11's in street trim, and yes i rely doubt thoes figures on standuard fuel, if anyone has access to the full article please post it.

:o

He was running slicks for sure with the 60ft time he posted.
