Looks killer Fred. This is another one of my favorites on this site. 2000 plus HP out of a 451 hemi.

I was thinking you might need a Lencodrive or a Bruno to build boost off the line? Can you run Pro Mod or is this a Quick 8 or TS car?

I knew it was 23XX HP but didnt know the correct # thats why I posted as I did. You said It can take 50 lbs of boost but you only got it to 27 and made that kinda power! That just crazy. Im way impressed on this low dollar 451 hemi build. Congrats to you and your builder Fred for a job well done

There was a guy in CA in the early 90's that had a VW that used Propane to spin the turbos up on his motor to make boost at the line. It was wicked fast for a VW.

the project was put on the shelf back in 2003 or 2004. The truth is that chassis might snap with that much power. not sure about getting into any races more like if it will ever get past doing 330' passes

fred.....its bad ass
years ago there was a guy that built a 55 chevy with a tank motor.....10 yr project.....i think it was some crazy hp/torque numbers that would flip the car over when he punched it......i think your right about your frame.....she should twist her up good when you open up that bad boy......good luck

Maybe you should change the design from a box with flat sides to something more appropriate for a pressure vessel. Awesome car though. I remember seeing it run at Orlando many years ago. Very impressive.

with the boost from those turbo's it would need to be made from a S.C.U.B.A. tank...
now who's got a picture of a Roadrunner with a turbo inpeller as the scroll (swirly) script..wearing an eye patch and red bandanna?..

With all due respect, from a mechanical engineering perspective, the design could use some improvements, IMHO. I have experience in pressure vessels design and stress load evaluation (aircraft). Aircraft, submarines, soda cans etc are the shape they are for a reason. Just offering some advice.

sure no doubt. realize this is an intake made from a 1970's tunnel ram. It has been sawed down the center into two pieces so it fits a -.500 short deck block. Then it was welded together and then we added the mail box looking plenum . Total cost of parts about $50.00. It has produced 2400 HP. Now after a learning curve the pops and bangs are gone. It does it's job and more unless someone wants to buy a $3,000 custom intake for us. Plus it matches the exotic log exhaust headers

Dont you think a burst panel would work better?
Are those blowoff valves referanced to anything ?

a burst panel would hve cost money while the valves were in the shop leftovers or takeoffs.
I think John tried both ways but then modified them to operate like a spring loaded pop off

I pointed out to Fred the design of pressure vessels when he blew it up last year. From the looks of the mailbox, it wanted to become cylindrical. Fred pointed out the same response and I wasn't interested in contributing to the project in terms of a new plenum. Maybe when I get my mill going, that could change although aluminum isn't cheap.
