I'm still learning.

I don't understand the 2v heads and how they can pump out so much horsepower for what they are. Is it a matter of rammer a ton of boost through to compensate, or is it just massive valves and porting to obtain 4v flow?
 
I know a feller also, and a couple more who make 1000 at the flywheel if that counts...
 
I think 1,000 is certainly attainable with all blower. The 3.6 KB with JLP's big bore intake and a monster motor with some meth injection may do the trick. Slap on some worked TF 195 heads and wala :smt023

I have made 807 to the wheels with a baby 2.6 with what I consider a good setup but by no means extreme. Iron block, .030 over, 9:1 CR, 550 lift cam and the smaller TF 185 2 valve heads.

Certainly one could up the blower by 2 or 3 sizes, definitely more room for block upgrade and CR, and bigger cams and heads. Although bigger is not always better, if someone got the right combo of motor, heads and blower, that could be serious 4 digit contender. I agree to get the 1,000 RWHP, it would have to be pushed pretty hard with the right combo. Heat, good God there will be plenty :shocked003

What did Eric P. put down with his 3.6 when he ran 9.3x a couple of Spookfest's ago ? :smt102
 
If talking about 1000HP to the wheels, that is a tall order with available parts. I would use a centrifugal to have the best chance at big HP numbers with longevity. If talking crank HP, it has been done for sure. But I don't know many who have had powerplants on engine dynos.
 
:crickets:

All the "could/should" make 1000hp is just talk until you can show a dyno sheet or blow it up trying.
Gotta love it....."so & so COULD make 1000 rwhp" or "so & so SHOULD make 1000 rwhp when he's ready", or the third one is "I personally know of someone BUT I can't say who, and I can't even give 1 detail about what blower or combo"......yeah because it doesn't exist or they don't have proof and they're using the ricer dyno method of adding hp claims for different parts they buy lol

Brad makes over 1000

1000 at the crank easily, but I would love to see a dyno showing over 1000 to the wheels. a stroked/big bore aluminum block with a 3.6 KB is probably the most capable configuration out there to do it for an all-boost blower truck, but I still don't see it making over 1k.

Not taking anything away from Brad or his truck because it's clearly fast as heck running a string of 9.4's which nobody else has ever done before in a street driven L, and Eric's 9.39 was only a single pass, but I just don't see over 1k rwhp in it. Carmelo's didn't even hit the 800 rwhp number (came close but didn't hit it) and he's gone 9.58 in a very similar configured truck except a smaller blower and a non-stroker aluminum big bore instead of stroker SHM big bore. Doesn't take 250+ rwhp more to run 9.4's.

Just look at how much it takes to get from each 200 hp jump..... from 400 rwhp to 600 rwhp, Built motor, twin screw, fuel, etc. Cookie cutter recipe, but a decent amount of work. But now look at what it takes to get from 600 rwhp to 800 rwhp. Not 600 to 700, but 600 to 800. Tons of built trucks make 600 rwhp piece of cake. Quite a few make 700 rwhp when they add big intakes, crank up the boost, work the heads, etc. pretty easy as well. But only a handful are making north of 800 rwhp, and shows you the challenge to gain just 100 rwhp from the 700 mark. That's really taking the combos up there to their limits. Anyone who say's they're making 800+ rwhp and are on a baby soft combo are full of it lol. Their shit, mine included, is working hard to make those numbers. Not on the edge of self explosion, but working hard to earn it's numbers. Now you're talking about making that same 200 rwhp jump AGAIN. A bigger blower, bigger bore, bigger stroke, that'll easily put you in the high 800's and into the low 900's, but I just don't see it going north of 200 rwhp MORE into the 4 digit range on an all-boost, 2v combo.

Josh I agree 100%!
I havn't seen a 2V SC Lightning Make 1000rwhp Yet! If somebody out there is Claiming to do so Why Hide it?...I challenge anybody with a 2V Lightning SC Truck To show up @ my shop or a shop close to Atco to Show us All a 1000 rwhp! SC Pull, Then come to Spookfest and Show us 1st hand what a 1000RWHP SC Lightning/HD will run? I know My Truck (Orange Crush)I sold Brad made around 885RWHP! and It ran 9.5 @ over 143 mph.. The Truck has ran a Best of what 9.48 @ 142 or something? Since I sold it to him. That my friend isn't anywhere Close to 1000RWHP!
My 4V L truck will make 1100+ RWHP with a Non Lock up Converter.. and I'm Gunning for the 7's!... Remember Turbo's Don't Eat up HP Like a Twin Screw Blower does! My Blower is Eating up around 250 HP!. @ That HP Level. That's why the Turbo's are KING to Making HP!.. But These BAD KB's Are Still Putting it Down for Sure!. Bring Them 1000RWHP Trucks To Spook Fest and we'll ALL see who lays it down and who Don't!...:rockon_fordJL
