Your expression was priceless when you crawled out and saw 4200 horsepower. Just like a little kid at Christmas. That’s what this is all about and whether you recognize it tells whether you’re a gear head or not. Steve is a full fledged certified gear head. Don’t ever doubt it. Really enjoy your excitement and to think you designed and built it yourself. That’s why his motto is “Innovation not Imitation “. So true. Congratulations Steve, you deserve it!!!

Many production engines and components aren't made to last these days because there's no money to be made that way. The problem everyone is having is getting the horsepower to the track without blowing the tires off. I can't wait to see how well the wagon rips down the track. 👍🏼💯🇬🇺

Different plugs....yes, no problem. It is a $100,000 engine. They change and check plugs all the time. Valve adjustment doesn't change much, but they do check it often and change it for running on the street. They race, then take the spud out of the fuel pump and switch to 93 octane and lash the valves for the street and then run hundreds of miles to the next track. This is the entire reason he builds the SMX.

One thing to think about folks, everything that runs off the engine (rear end, transmission, oil pump, fuel pump ECT) it's possible to use about 20% of the total power. in this case would be about 1,000 hp, or so, this is a possible legit 5k HP engine

@ionstorm66 Жыл бұрын
The 2 smaller throttle bodies have a better lower end than a single large. The crescent is less surface area as it cracks open. That's why they make oval throttle bodies. Also why a lot of the burnout guys that run top fuel hats plug some of the runners, with them all it has too much air to idle/low speed well. A top fuel/funny car doesn't ever need part throttle.
