Marrying A New-Age Hemi With An Old-School Supercharger - Horsepower S16, E5

[@larrymagee8758]

Only 690 hp? I expected @ least 800-1000 hp. What gives? A 572 will do that on carbs alone.

[@Chris-bn1bn]

Not with 93 pump gas

[@CarsandCats]

It would run even better if you tightened the carb stud nuts. I can see one spinning in the rear carb.

[@lotuselanplus2s]

Looks like you have a loose carb hold down nut on the rear carb at the 12:10 point. Actually the whole carb is moving around.

[@ForYeshua1]

I seen that too.

[@ronsmith7739]

An 8-71 on on a Gen lll 426 Hemi?!?!?!?!? Should be making well over a 1,000 HP.

[@michaelclanton1152]

No OD% stated that I know of or pully size. but it must have been 6# of boost.

[@pablotharpalo5685]

I'm thinking too that the hemi builder didn't want to blow the engine so they may have been playing it safe. They were also only using 93 instead of any race gas. Just a theory!

[@ronsmith7739]

@@pablotharpalo5685 The main problem with the Gem III is a weak block. Should have used a 'A' motor block as they are far stronger. There is a 'A' motor engine on the website with a Hemi Head, 360, that makes over 600HP, NA. Why make a smaller block??? Dumb!!!

These guys are clowns and have no idea what they’re doing

[@ronsmith7739]

@@scottsmith31 Very true.

[@brianholcomb6499]

I don’t know how old this is, but no numbers for the N/A pulls? It really should have made that power with no blower 🙄🙄🙄🙄! No fueling adjustments, No timing #s or adjustments? No boost numbers, No pulley swaps? Some info should be given! Anyway Don Garlits was the first one to supercharge the late model Hemis wayback around 2003? I think he made a distributor drive to run it on a magneto, because he wasn’t going to use a computer on one of his dragsters from the 50s 😜😜😜😜! He also ran it on 90% nitro! It’s absolutely the best sounding late model Hemi I’ve ever heard 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸! It also was a dead stock 5.7 Hemi! Because nobody had even started to produce parts for them yet! I think you could find it on the internet! But it’s much cooler to see & hear standing next to it 🤪🤪🤪🤪👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻!

Engine Power built a 6.4 hemi to 562 HP with EFI and that was with the truck engine which started with 410 hp compared to the 475 hp scat pack tuned engine. Either they are not putting enough boost or something else Is wrong.

[@VegasRT500]

Old school 426 Hemi would make 900 to 1,000HP with a 6-71 roots blower.

[@ronsmith7739]

426 Hemi could make 900 to 1000HP unblown!!!

[@Minty_cr_125_rider]

Those motors were just pure beasts

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Great vid!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍

[@ralphvalkenhoff2887]

I’m suspecting you guys are being cautious with that investment. Expecting a little more ponies with that blower and dual carb setup.

[@jakey20022]

Differently need to get fuel injection. And I would love to see the hp Dyno number without the super charger. Differently an old episode they didn't mention the 6.4 liter.

[@ForYeshua1]

1800cfm for 600hp? lol

[@Ratridez]

Ya my buddy's 512 stroker is making 750 hp with 1050 all motor 🤣

[@dougmurray510]

That motor was has weak has tissue paper.

[@dougmurray510]

[@YesNo-ty5eb]

@@Ratridez 392 vs 572 yea think about that 😂 plus pump gas no e85 no thing out of a Carburetor an a old ass blower just stop y’all are dumb af

[@masonbennett2855]

A bit rich id say

[@cromBumny]

They need todo a redo. 600hp, that's like 125hp more than a stock 392...wtf went wrong

[@dalemllns]

My cam, headers, ported heads SBE 392 makes 536/494 to the tire. They need to add timing and turn it up. Prolly only 6psi of boost.

[@cromBumny]

@@dalemllns you have an 8-71...why do 6lbs of boost?

[@davidwalker5748]

I agree with a lot of commenters it waste of time put a factory blower on it

[@Chris-bn1bn]

Which is it, high silicone pistons, or forged. The last time I checked, silicone is added to aluminum slag. Are these forged after casting?

[@davidwalker5748]

You can 500hp out of a 5.7 without that 8-71 blower

[@Chris-bn1bn]

Excuse me, but did I see you put a single row timing chain on that overbuilt car? A drag car is only as reliable as it's weakest link. Very disappointing. With all the equipment on hand at that shop, they couldn't CNC your timing plate cover?

[@danshepler9933]

Love it guys

[@smokinschannel5840]

I think you guys did something wrong somewhere, 600 hp?

[@VinceGuzman]

this episode is awesome to see

[@mlp-hot-rod5824]

May as well have just swapped a Hellcat motor into that Dart.

[@bmstylee]

Hellcats didn't exist when this was built

[@motersickel]

Dang I was really expecting 7-800 horsepower I just watched a video before this where a guy took a junkyard 5.7 done no internal work... Changed the Cam, ported heads, four barrel fuel injection and a supercharger belt driven not a root style...wasn't even pushing it that hard and was producing 677 horsepower...🤔🤔🤔🤦

[@karlsracing8422]

This episode is over 10yrs old

[@Makitaization]

Carburetors. How quaint. Two barely controlled gas leaks.

[@justinreel5546]

I was expecting way more than 600. Kinda disappointed tbh

[@mechaman7818]

11:06 Lol. It was so consistent it screwed up the video.

[@WTFShelley]

No intercooler? not trolling but dont these old style blowers super heat the air?

[@LEGOCAMARO]

That’s why there carbureted the fuel cools the IAT and lubricates the Teflon lobes. Other then that high octane to resist detonation.

[@WTFShelley]

@@LEGOCAMARO ok cool, i was worried, ive always seen these with a a sandwiched water to air intercooler.

[@studiocometshootingchannel1177]

Good luck

[@NLRompoc]

Can You give me links please ?

[@875109725710]

6 PSI with carbs and no real spark curve, just pull the whole thing back like with a distributor. An example of what not to do, a waste of a built 426 long block.......

[@ryotaryuu]

All that and it only makes 600 hp? Something is wrong here.

[@xx_ironman77_xx1]

[@michealparker2268]

Really because of all the dumb comments yours manages to be the worst. It's a simple mater of mathematics and volumetric efficiency equations. The motor should produce 1000 to 1200 with timing and a raise in boost with a smaller blower pulley
