Race Engine Dyno Tested - Maximum MOPAR Power

it's harder here than in Athens Athens Greece I'm sure it's another hot weekend the Knicks garage and Sylvania are in the shop to pick up their 600 horse

power

Dodge Charger this is the 600 horse

power

agent of power last year this is a star there it goes, it's always here Here you have it guys, Dodge Charger 68 in red 4 speed with a CSUN power of 440 horsepower that we built a couple of years ago. You know it just came in but I removed the

engine

so I came out of the

engine

bay painted and of course you guys. I brought it back and so I was able to start with a friend and now he's taking it home and I don't want it ready to go, that's money for you, now you know why you wanted to try a horse bar in that full 40. the way he drives that Dodge truck, yeah some of us call him Batman but you know what he is, you got a charger, he's got a few more parts and he beats them all or should I say, he puts them all in rhythm and there he says There's a lot of good stuff going on at Nick's house this summer, but today he and his brother Phil are in the

dyno

room helping a customer and fellow

race

r with his broken down racing engine.

We have an engineering lab dynamometer that they brought to our client mine, who is a full-time drag

race

r with a 1971 Dodge Dart bracket car and here he has a 360 with a race kit up to 408 cubic inches, It's a support relationship like my brother Phillip and he's been racing and it's been a problem for many years and of course the main thing is not the big horsepower, it's just that the car is consistent and has been racing against us with us and of course every weekend we race together so now yeah we had a build of a The new engine for that car is going to run this year so we finished putting it together and now we have it on the

dyno

and we'll do some tests to get the engine running here running in the car for so many years that it pulled a connector. rod, so it was likely Eyebeam connector, so in this case we now did an upgrade with another new huge block, another crankshaft with H-beam connector.

We put in the same headers, the same intake manifold, a new cam, of course, and by the way, my brother Phillip's edge decided and of course they got every piece of mechanical auto parts, every PC that was installed on this engine, the pistons, the rings, the connecting rods, the gaskets, the cam for climate change, oil pump, strainer, oil pan and whatever. My client hasn't said that the engine wants to be in the video, but it doesn't matter, he just wants to see the engine running. We have them here. We're not going to show it to you.

He just wants the engine to run. Here we are, let's get started, check the timing if it's his ratio and then of course we'll try to adjust it with your car beaters, but in the meantime we'll start on my 750 twin pump and see what happens. It's a very hot day today, very hot and humid, so it doesn't matter? I love the heat anyway and we are ready to go, let's see what happens there, we go with a full tank, we use 94 octane gas, there it is. It's actually aluminum heads with a 12 point 18 compression ratio but it also has a hydration cam so it's going to rev up so I hope that works for us so let's try it okay let's do it .

Nick's brother Phil designed the engine. with Nick's client even though they will probably end up racing each other on the track someday soon Nicke warms up the engine and dials the timing to 32 degrees to start and we have an oily one. I don't need to be attentive here. let me finish testing it and the only good thing I have here in the corner will be fixed later. Okay, the poem would be a 180 with all the glitter. Okay, 32 degree timing with that's our car. Vader 5,000 rpm that seemed to hit. to adjust a shock now wait after one last adjustment Nick is ready to try a first pull, ok I open it up, here we go, a pool, oh my god we have to go much higher here than that, oh yeah look, 5000 rpm, we are. outside 463 maybe you know, okay, we have to go much further, look at the door, dial 529, turn before the 29th, at 39:00 p.m. you have about 500 watts, yeah look we take it to 5000 rpm, now we're going to take a five six five seven, we finish at 5000 rpm, we put out 463 horsepower and at 339 p.m. when you come out of the 529 tour, we're going to take it to 5800 rpm right now in this 360 story, we're going to start at 2500 rpm, we're going to go 58 RPM at 300 rpm per second, here we go, oh, there we go. let's see what we have, yes sir we have to go higher, yes 5800 and we are up for 82 after taking the engine to 5800 rpm, they still haven't found the

maximum

power, so Nick organizes another survey looking for the edge of the envelope, are you ready? 3,000 to 6,000 rpm here is 58,488 horsepower 40, that's one more horsepower per cubic inch for eight versus forty-eight, it's got more torque to weigh, this is going to be a scream, now let's go with the carburetors on, it's 32 degrees and all that, okay, it goes with more synchronization, are you miserable?

Let's see what you have. My brother sees that it matches the timing by two degrees, so we are going from 32 to 34 since he designed the engine with my client. He let you do it. your solution and I will make the size work Steve job, we went from 32 degrees to 34 degrees and now we are doing another test like the back, okay here we go, she is almost the same, yes she was better at 32. Cross in the water we do another consecutive test we are going to run our cooling temperature. I just found out here 115 114 115 I've been testing and testing at 160 165, so I lowered the temps more to be working. colder at 150 now so let's do a similar test.

I'm 157 right now okay let me see the stabilizer 150 you should go down or 156 right now. I think I'd better run it cooler, okay, yeah, okay, a little bit cooler, but come on. Water cooler running, that's the thermostat. I adjust the thermostat when you write it on the golden squirrel, so I'm running a quarter, so 140 150 here we go God, the river was your name - 500 I'm going to be a woman at 490 at 5800 rpm. We're pretty good at night, I know, and the torque is up there: yeah, five thirty-six point five, but 4000 rpm for 64, we're starting at 3000, we're good, we'll run out of coolant temperature about 140 150. and we need the time in 34 and we're going to do better at home again.

We've been running at 6,400 rpm you know you're there so look 46 47 58 57 that's pretty good I'm 57 15 yeah that's what should be there Eddie you're drastically wrong Springs let me tell you it's nice to fly this It's beautiful This is beautiful Well, you see, this is going quite well now we're going to fill in with different finds according to Philip and Robert, what do they do? You guys say you want to do the test back to back, okay Oliver, you want to shake it if we have any fuel left, okay, perfect, I have to put the timing backwards, you made a mistake with the oil, but don't worry, we'll do it. deal with that later, we have 95 96 degrees Fahrenheit here today, especially an even hotter instrument.

I forgot the 5:30 vent and we're going to do the best we have here, we're going to do the best with what you have, that's the name. of the game for Nick since he was a teenager building street racers for his friends in the back alley. Nowadays, racing takes place on the track for the most part and many customer cards are on Nick's to-do list. 4:54 big block nova with a 12 volt rear end with four speed and right now we had to work on the clutch a little bit so we want to test it on the block and show how it works and that's it, let's say just give me a clutch. working and ready to go.

I guess some of the customers want to try it on and that's it. The nova 4472 with the four speed box does not bolt into the rear. We had to clutch the slave cylinder in the master cylinder. Replace the clutch and then. in the end we couldn't start the car, it means that in the end I hit a switch during a few breaks, so we spent a few hours trying to get the fuel pump working by avoiding it and then a customer never told me in a hidden place. change hello his we finally contacted him he told me where you put it we have the car whining and there it is everything is joy Nick never knows what is going to happen next in his workshop, but he continues to greet each job with the same passion for power that he has He's had it since he was a kid, it's that passion that keeps him going on days like today, when it's over a hundred degrees in the dyno room and he's chasing those last few horses before giving up at the end.

Laval Stroker Racing. The engine produced more power than I expected and the kind of consistency you find in its category, as is tradition among racing drivers. The final numbers are a secret, but here's the sweet sound of one more pull.
