New World Record Horsepower Figure

[LTSJayce]

BIG power! Now,wanna impress me? Let's see it do laps around a track,LOL! Impress me even more? Send it to rego' AND get it passed!!!

[silver gts-t]

pfffttt dosnt even have leather seats...

[VB-]

yes im curious as to what record it actually got, im not doubting that it did, just dont know which one. the worlds most powerful street car belongs to Rod Hadfiled does it not? 3000HP street registered from his 27 odd litre (supercharged from meory) V12... obviously economy wasnt an issue...

[Quinny]

I think the record is supposed to be for the most powerful small-block engine. I agree with the previous comments, there is no way this thing is going to be doing laps of a track or getting street registered.

The record for the highest HP street car is held by Brett Waine who made 1470.8rwhp at Summernats 17 in RAPID8. The car was street registered, and used pump fuel.

Rod Hadfields "Final Attack" Chev with the 27litre V12 is street registered, but it does not have full rego, it is limited.

After doing some reading, I reckon that this figure might be a little inflated due to the intake temp figure. Increasing the intake temp figure is about the most common way of fudging a dyno result. Dyno Dynamics reckons that the sensor failed, and that it would not have any impact on the power figure, while some other people have said that it could have up to 30% correction ratio applied.....

Anyway, it is still tough, and it still makes a heap of horsepower, even if the 30% ratio is applied.

Just further to everything else, one of the organisers of the show has made a comment in regards to this on another forum, here is a quote from that post:

"yes we have an Inlet Temp issue, however we are still unsure as to the variation factor until the log file/software version is inspected by Dyno Dynamics, the sensor was reading 230, not 270 so some further clarification is required, yes Eddy will back up any claims and YES Eddy tapped Aaron off the last run before peak power was made as the screen/dyno issue stopped the car displaying any more power - I have watched the car on more dyno runs than I can remember, including all our A.M.E. shows and at Summernats and have NEVER know the car to sound as strong or smooth. - All credit to Eddy and Dyno Dynamics and everyone with an interest in the sport for the amazing results that continue to please crowds around Australia."

So it seems there was a problem with the Inlet Temp, but it's affect is unknown, however, the power run was cut short due to the computer being unable to display any more power, so there is more power left in this thing.

Detune it to Optimax and we'll see - awesome car and huge feat of R&D. Holden 8's aren't supposed to do that!

[Quinny]

I agree, tune it for street fuel, and set the correct inlet temp, and it probably won't be anywhere near as high. However, I think that there is alot more left in this engine, despite the fact that the figures may be inflated, the power run was cut short. I reckon a genuine 1500hp is likely once everything is sorted, although, everyone has said that Eddy will back up this claim, so maybe Eddy knows that this thing has 2000hp in it. Holden 8s weren't designed to do that, but it goes to show what the dinosaur pushrod V8 can do when stretched to the limit.

[2rismo]

39.1psi on the 1895hp run. Damn.

[Quinny]

It has been confirmed that the car was untuned, and that the dyno was maxed out, so the power run was cut short. Apparently, Eddy and Dyno Dynamics are keen to back up this figure using a better dyno and the correct IT figure. Should be interesting. 39psi isn't really that much when you are talking 1895hp.

[INASNT]

Well, the guy who owns the TRYHRD VX Clubsport (1200+rwhp), reckons that the Clubby is more drivable and better behaved than his Ferrari F355 that he uses as his daily driver.

I find that very hard to believe!

Ferraris are unreliable but....

[Quinny]

I agree, Ferraris aren't really known for their driveablility, but I find it pretty hard to believe that a Clubsport which will do 5th gear burnouts with traction control on could be more streetable than an F355.

[Topaz]

Pity about the shell and chassis

[Cubes]

I don't think its all that laggy compared to say a RB25 running a gt3040 .82.

The GT3040 .82 gets going at say 4000rpm.

At 4000rpm the 383 twin turbo is making ~260rwhp (194rwkw). So it would still haul arse putting around in traffic, one would have to be carefull not to take it another 500-1000rpm higher thats all.

As the old saying goes... There's no replacement for displacement.

LOL at the 230degree intake temp.

[_8OO5TED_]

Tassones ute has a stock rear end, full interior and standard brakes doesnt it?? dyno queen, but still MASSIVE power....

[Quinny]

Dyno Dynamics has released their findings. The figure was inflated due to the temp sensor failing and going into "open circuit". They have recalculated the figures based on a 60 degree IT, which came to 1434.6, but still allows for 10% correction. With no correction value for IT, makes the maximum power 1304.2. Still not bad for a car that is not tuned, and the run was cut short. There will be more from this thing yet.

[IMACUL8]

Awesome car - but hardly a world record when the dyno is in question.

Get the dyno sorted and redo it - dont go bragging until then.

Here is a link from Antilag inregard to this issue --> http://www.antilag.com/forums/showthread.p...9919&page=1

it was confirned last night that this had no affect on the figres by Mr Dyno Dynamics, Peter Humphrys so b4 you start shootin ya mouths off get ya facts STRAIGHT

Eddy will back up his numbers as he always does time and time again he does'nt need to defend himself he is as has been NO1 for years and proved this in every state!!!!

I hope he does roll this into summernats would be entertaining 2 say the least

good day

I love this part

I told you so.

Dont have a go at me about something i actually know a little bit about dude.

Get YOUR facts straight first i think rather than dribbling out what others feed you and then trying to defend it all

[Quinny]

The facts were straight at the time. DD said that the figure would not be affected, so it was left as that until today. I also said, I am no expert, I was relaying information from someone who was there as a competitor. I also mentioned that I thought that the figure was suss as well. But i do believe that this thing will make more HP than the "corrected" figure that DD calculated. And for the record, I was not trying to "defend" anyone or anything, and I didn't "have a go" at anyone.

Don't shoot the messenger mate.

Dont be a puppet

You told me to get my facts straight.

They were. Yours werent.

I dont care if your mothers aunty's dog told you. Doesnt mean they are right. If you wanna regurgitate something someone fed you then be prepared to wear it.

[Quinny]

The quote that said "get your facts straight" was quoted by me from the user of another forum who was a competitor at that show. That quote was later retracted by that person after trying it on his own 700hp VL.

I provided that quote after you asked the same question I did regarding the inlet temp figure. I was simply giving you the information that I was provided with, I never said it was gospel, I never said you were wrong.
