950hp all natural LS engine | fullBOOST

Tim Holmyard is certainly no stranger to high output GM LS engines. We recently filmed his TJH Performance built street car engine on the dyno where it was testing a new LS7 induction package from Higgins Race Heads and as you'd expect it didn't disappoint.

Not a natural LS if it's running nitrous!!

[@tepidtuna7450]

I have to agree. While not boosted, nitrous is still chemical supercharging. Still a bloody good effort, and over 8,000rpm from a pushrod engine. NICE.

[@tx5brent]

The video makes it pretty clear that it's his other car, the red SS that runs nitrous. The engine that this video is about is n/a, have a good look at it, there is no nitrous system on it.

As much as I like "run what you brung" outfits, with all sorts of power adders, it's also great to see an all motor car doing 9's with a motor that makes over 2 hp/ c.i. Obviously they know how to set up the car, regardless of power. Admirable stuff.

[@7071t6]

They did not put the combo together they just did the tune and dyno etc, but they can put engines like this together easy.:) After all they have over 2,500 hp engines in their own cars? what i would like to know is how much extra fabrication and welding goes into building a engineer certified over 2,500hp car ,like the rails, back end and also where the roll cage gets welded how much extra reinforcing gets welded under the car especially where the roll cage gets welded too, its not just buying a good shell of any car make or model, its about making sure the massive amount of stress time after time, those points are checked, dont get me wrong, i am sure safety is always the no 1 check, but i dont know how many times they have checked the welds near the roll cage mounting points, if V8 supercar racing roll cages have cracks in the weld points, then think what a 2,500hp engine will do to those welds, also chrome molly roll cages are used ,but i have seen welding of mild steel welding wire used,till i pointed out if your going to weld a roll cage in, then use chrome molly same grade welding wire and not mild steel, sure engoung the V8 supercars all adopted this same way of welding tig chromoly roll cages in and even using chrome molly plate in each weld point of where the roll cages needs it under the car etc and not use the cars steel? After this no mare cracks in any welds after at least the complete season of V8 supercars ,which was during the 2000 years? Cheers and i hope all dags cars do a complete check of the roll cages installed and use chrome molly welding wire instead of mild steel, basically tig wire and aircraft grade if possible if not as long as its chemical composition is the same and or grade is used etc. :)

Yes, I know, it is highly subjective... BUT actually... you can :D Anything which is multiplied by 3 sounds better than anything multiplied by 4. (I4, V8 vs I3, I6, V12).

Straight 6/flat 6 (no v6 unfortunately) just sings its sweet symphony... some V12s even tend to evolve its sound during climbing RPM - listen to straight piped murcielago for example.. on the other hand Crossplane V8 "only" goes quicker and louder, nothing "more".

you kinda need to make a lot of torque up to to gain any power...

[@offchops6722]

hojnikb exactly you build a motor for torque and the hp will come with it naturally

[@sethh8892]

@@hojnikb no, not really. If you're losing torque, simply gain RPMs and you will increase horsepower. Usually, the torque curve starts falling at around 5,200 RPMs. Horsepower will still rise though. Generally speaking, horsepower will continue to go up with RPMs. This is only true as long as there are no air/ fuel restrictions, dynamic compression isn't drastically different than static, and detonation stays on time. So long as these are true, your horsepower will continue to rise with RPMs. (There is a point of diminishing returns)

[@fullboost]

Its a wet sump 👍

[@sethh8892]

I think if they're smart enough to design an engine to produce this much power with natural aspiration, they are also capable of getting an acceptable oil pressure 😂. Oil pressure isn't everything, oil volume also matters. You will obviously gain oil pressure if you make the veins, that the oil flows through, smaller... but that also means you're carrying less oil given the same distance. Less oil at high RPMs is never a good thing. Sometimes you want lots of all flowing slower and sometimes you want less oil flowing faster. They're sitting just fine where they are.

[@trianifeA7x]

Anyone ever built a v12 drag car? That'd be sick.

[@riellypethybridge2242]

Is anyone else concerned about how low the oil pressure was ? I suppose the old 10psi per 1000 rpm rule doesn’t exist anymore ?

[@vengeanceizmine9878]

That's a generalized rule of thumb. You don't make big power being over safe with everything. Engines can actually live with less. You only need just enough, anything more robs power.
