Did it make 771 on pump 93 or 100 race gas?

Use studs, add bolts, whatever. When what you are bolting it to is flimsy, the benefit is limited. When the mating surfaces are fretted, the caps are dancing around.

Dont know.
No matter the case, hell of an achievment by the builder. And like he said, it makes over 800 if he runs it 8,000.
The contest is from 4 to 7500 rpm. Certain limitations cause it was built to suit the rules.

While i do agree,i also believe a whole lot of times the main isue with maincaps tapdancing in the block comes from detonation and not neccesarily from just to much power,same with most smallblocks that end up pushing a headgasket,sure the 4headbolts per cylinder may not be genius when making big power but the limit for how much compression you can run before pushing a headgasket gets much lower if you also have a problem with detonation,and detonation that starts creating isues is present long before we hear it and it gets catastrophic as in destroyed pistons.

I been saying it for years... a magnum block has more meat where it is needed and is at least harder if not stronger iron as well as more consistant castings. I even posted pictures and nobody seems to care, now I cant post pics anymore so you would have to look back a couple years in my old posts.

I think a lot of guys miss the point of the competetion, it is a contest for engine builders that eliminates the variability of a car, track, driver, all that stuff just to see who knows how to make the most power.

Another way to do it would be use one car and swap everyones engine in it over the course of a few days but conditions could change a lot over the course of a day so even that might not be fair so the dyno competetion seems the best way to compare engine builders to engine builders.

You could also have another contest for car builders, use say 10 of the exact same engines and have car builders build a car to see who can make the fastest car with the same engine.

The engine masters contest is to have a competetion between engine builders plain and simple. Who can make the most power witin given parameters. It compares one aspect of what makes good cars. If you want to see how entire cars compare then go to a race track any weekend and watch em. All the belly aching about "well I dont think thats going to be fast in a real car" is pointless, totally misses the point of the contest. I dont get why thats so hard to comprehend.

Gonna call tomorrow and hopefully find out. Pulls are Thursday

Thanks. I'd love to watch it if I can.
