the size of those header tubes is amazing! when it showed that prostock engine with the tunnel ram. I was looking at those welds, and I thought it must've been done by robot or cnc. then it showed the guy not only doing the welding by hand, but stick welding by hand!! that is a talented craftsman!! I've always wanted to have a hand built tunnel ram. not only do they make a ton of power, but they just look damn good!!!

Dear Sonny's Race engines.. Exactly where do we go from here ? Today we use CAD to design ultra alloy billet blocks . Mega huge Once Holley Dominator type split carbs, head's a computer designed and built...Can you recall when Da Grump unleashed his 331 in tunnel rammed small block vega and then proceeded to clean up the Pro-stock field and his entire car With extra motor valued at 50 K . Now tell Me Sir how Much of a chance does a race team have to win anything when the cost plus spare Race motor could be purchased with with 50K today ? So You, Pro-Line .and all the rest of the Ultra high dollar race engine guys can keep em ..I'm still NOT going to mortgage my home to buy a motor that a spare set of heads is equal to my daughters year in college .. sorry .. Nice Cad work though ... Props to you

@ElJefe31265 жыл бұрын
Ok, you want to play? Let's do the math. 60psi = (Airflow (lb/min) * 639.6 * (460 + 130 (guess at intake manifold temp))) / (.98 (Voumetric efficiency) * (7700 (rpm) / 2) * 1005 (cu in)) Solve for airflow, get 603 lb/min, which is VERY stout...maybe 10x what you would see for a modest street-strip car. 603 = HP * 11.5 (air/fuel ratio) * 0.55 (brake specific fuel consumption) / 60 Solve for HP, get 5720 hp. Whee! Now let's see if we can find a turbo to boost to 60 psi. Assume we lose 4 psi in plumbing losses getting from the turbo to the motor, and assume we lose 1 psi getting the air into the turbo. Pressure ratio = (60 + 4) / (14.7 -1) = 4.67 (pretty high, but you did specify 60 lb of boost). You do know there is no such thing as a turbo with a 120mm inducer, at least not in racing, right? You mean a 120mm exducer? I don't have good data for a 120mm exducer. How about a 94mm inducer and a 133mm exducer? Bigger is better, right? Alas, I can only get about 210 lb/min out of one of those at a pressure ratio of 4.67:1. You'd need at least 3 of them! Although it's usually not good to flow fewer than 3 cylinder into one turbo, it looks like quad turbos it is. 603/4 = about 151 lb/min per turbo. From the Garrett catalog, I would suggest a GTX5533R GEN II, with the 91mm inducer and the 133mm exducer, just about right. And you need 4 of them, one for each corner. Figure out how to hook it up, should smoke a Top Alcohol Dragster. No match for a Funny Car, though.

It would seem like a very limited market for engines costing 50 to 100 grand. The investment you have in high tech CNC machines and the people who run them must be enormous. I could understand the investment if you were one of a couple hundred machine shops in the US, but you are one of thousands who make claims of spectacular drag race engine performance. This can't be a hobby or an avocation for you unless you inherited enough money to play the engine building game and still eat three squares a day. Only the best funded car teams would be able to afford to blow one of your engines a month and still continue racing since there are only so many advertisers that see a value in their brand being painted on the side of a drag car. Always have wondered how that works.

Chevrolet showed up in 63 with the Mark III mystery motor and was asked to park it. Ford copied the Hemi idea and was not allowed to run it in NASCAR. Pontiac came up with tunnel port style heads in RA V but nothing really ever took off. The SD heads did well enough. But Chrysler was allowed to run, and run they did. Ever wonder why that was? I won't deny the Hemi design is the best head for making power, but that was not the original idea behind a hemispherical combustion chamber. Think about what would have become of Chrysler without that innovation?

Yeah, thanks for pointing out the obvious that everyone already knows. No engines at these levels have OEM production parts on them becasue OEM don't make 1000+hp drag racing engines.
