Little inline small block beating a bbc on spray! I see two chevies and one having a nitrous back-fire. What does that have to do with the posted question. LOL I guess I'm showing one of those can't make 900 Real hp motors with a inline head...Lol

Ok so most of us agree the 900HP number can be hit. Now the question is how long will said engine last. It's not for me as I race my junk weekly all Summer long and not just on bonzi days.
1970 Duster
Edelbrock headed 408
5.984@112.52
422 Indy headed small block
5.982@112.56 mph
9.42@138.27
Livin and lovin life one day at a time

On my 300" engine , pistons,rods,bearings,rings,valve springs,locks retainers, timing belt,distributor belt,rebuild or replace roller lifters,check over all rocker arms,mag the crank. This engine spends most of every pass between 8800 and 10,500 rpm.

I broke a rocker this fall and I m going to replace them all before next season, they were manufactured in 1998 and must have several hundred runs ... that got me thinking about the valves, I have replaced the exhaust valves but I m not sure how old the intake valves are, there must be a limit on how long you can run them, anyone knows? I m not interested in finding out on my own  valves are titanium, I believe they are Manleys

Jeremy at Extreme could easily do it, watch an x275 race You mean the X275 class that is a "POWER ADDER" class..........the only thing that proves is that some are better at power management than others Plus the FASTEST car ever in X275...........a twin turbo SBF, the next two, a BBC nitrous and a SBC nitrous. So how is any of that relevant to this discussion? The smallblock car is Ron Rhodes, been 4.40s on a radial with nitrous at a REALLY light weight. It's an inline wedge motor, that does NOT make 900hp on motor alone..........so what does all that tells us.........again, not a damn thing....LOL!!!!

with that thinking why does a big block have to hit any given number? Why do slant 6 guys try to go faster than other slant 6 guys? Why aren't we just buying used GM based stuff off of Racing Junk and calling it good? With the dollar amounts we're talking here for a max effort n/a vs a comparable hp p/a setup...it's a matter of common sense. There's ways to hit that number that are much cheaper and easier. That's why I ask...why is this the goal? I mean if the guy has trucks full of money that he can throw away just to prove a point and says he made 900 hp n/a with X engine, more power to him and good luck have fun. But if he's on a budget (like most of us) and is under the assumption that he can hit that number within a tight budget, a reality check is approaching.

Well we went 8.19 with a 1.14 60' this weekend with 2800lb all motor SB on a 29.5x10.5 tire with a short wheelbase ladder bar car. So I have some idea what kinda money it takes to hit 900hp with a SB  Also watched a fellow competitor go 8.006 at 2875 with his all motor SB as well.

We need a "How much power for $10K" thread on Moparts. My cheap a$$ has his limitations.

Hey Al I think you blew right by 900 with that one.. think you're closer to 1000hp to run That et at track not to mention you are racing up hill in a parking lot . Your average racer would have no idea
