Oh Boy!

Must be one heck of a Dyno! 900 hp out of a small block Chevy? Even doubt a 355 running on 98% nitro would do that in perfect conditions.

Big Red is a Donovan/AFR with 540 CID.. it has 13.2 to 1 compression and wild cams and lots more!
Race gas only then! 874BHP currently I believe!
Getting 540 Cid to spin to 7100rpm for 30minutes and not break down..is quite good!
I guess that It's correct that he did not win to much himself..

Heat in blocks... You can get your aluminuminum... nummy... with ceramic heat retention coatings..
That works! I've not seen it used for some 10 years, but they did it back then!

Imperial



I've seen stock displacement race hemis (426 cu. in.) do 9000 rpm and live, but once again you thinking of three minute short blocks. The trick is to reduce all the recipricating mass as much as possable. Long aluminium rods & light weight cranks are a must.
