What is the most rwhp you've seen on a stock bottom end?

Just wondering what is the most you've seen. I saw a fellow member put down some serious numbers on the dyno tonight :D. Just wondering what you guys have seen. I'll let him post up in here as to what he made.

Here are the numbers from my tuning session tonight at injectedengineering (who were professional all the way...props to the team...everyone I met there)

550.05 RWHP
465.5 TQ
Running VP 109 Race fuel

531 RWHP
461 TQ
93 Pump gas

That was at 13.7 peak boost on race fuel and 12.5 on Pump gas

high on the pucker factor.

Sorry for the poor quality photo.

My plan is to run 2 races with the car on pump gas so hopefully it holds that long. Later this winter she's coming out for a all out forging party and/or stroking.

Stock clutch too With the way the centri power comes on soft then hard later let's hope that's enough to keep her together. I dont plan to ride her hard on the street on pump gas.

I know, I know..borrowed time. I guess at my point in life I am looking to live a little dangerously. (flame suit on)

You have to look at the torque though, way more important when discussing the longevity of a motor. The torque on the above car is only 465 (quite low when compared to how much horsepower it's running). Not to mention when you consider how the centri's "hit" the motor..they build boost, not slam it down its throat instantly like a twin screw

IMO, a ~520rwhp ~500rwtq twinscrewed, tvs'd, or roots, like Nastystangs, is much more impressive on stock motor than 550rwhp 465rwtq from a centri blown car

Imagine the torque dynojoe's saleen blown car was making with ~550rwhp..not mention that car lasted for over 200 passes (so it proved its longevity)...lets hope he chimes in

Regardless of whether you are a Kenne Bell fan or not, they test the daylights out of everything.

Kenne Bell's testing experience on their twin-screw was a "safe" RWHP of 525 and their engine failed at 600 RWHP.

Is it possible to see a stock engine make 600 RWHP on a dyno run without "ventilating" itself? Yep.

Is it going to hold together run like that all the time? Nope.

Yep...good tune is critical but there are way more factors involved than just a dyno number. You're going to have discrepancies with numbers from one type of dyno to another, from one operator to another, from one transmission to another (since the figures come off the rear wheels).

So why do motors let go at less than 500 rw. Who runs race fuel...most folk don't. Fuel from a drum is much more reliable and consistent than pump. Then conditions on the dyno are not the same as those at the dragstrip. You're not launching, banging gears, doing burnouts on the dyno.

You dyno today....then go to the track maybe a week or month(s) from now. Tune is the same. Weather is different, things have changed on the car. You rock and roll at the track, things shake loose, car parameters change. How many folk datalog at the track, make fine adjustments on the tune or just shut it down if warranted, based upon the log?
