Inliners International Forums General Discussion Bench racing Class records

You have an engine ready?? If so what kind of HP you think it makes??? Are you going to make mounts for a FORD I-6 also??? (TEST MULE)

No, I have to start rounding up some parts. I have a 475-500 HP combo in mind for the 292 engine just as a baseline for that engine. I have a 450 HP combo for the 250 engine. Using several ET calculators for weight and HP, either of those should be likely to run in the mid-10's with what I will weight for the N/A classes(theoretically). But they seem to be fairly accurate from what I have seen other people using for their calculations. For the forced induction classes, I think I can get 800 HP conservatively out of either the 250 or 292. The key is going to be to come in right at the minimum weight, no sense carrying any extra if you don't have to.

I was going to build a Maverick with a 300 until I found this car. So I don't know how long the money tree will last. Im looking at building(4)different engines, and running in at least(5) different classes. Maybe one LSR class also, we'll see.

WOW!!! 475-500 HP BB I-6 / 450 HP SB I-6!!

I make around 410-420 HP with the Webers...

Cotton and Jim ran Webers for a season or so, and did good with them, even set a lot of records. But when they switched to (3)Holley's and a sheetmetal intake they instantly found about 40HP, and then everyone else that was running Webers followed their lead.

How BIG where the Holley two barrels??

I had strated to make a home-made sheetmetal intake, head flang and 90 deg turn ups out of 1 3/4 steel tubing...

The most common two barrels were 350 or 500 cfm @ 3" hg. That equates to about 250 and 357 cfm @ 1.5 " hg. There was a rare 650 annular discharge boosterless 2V but I think they suffered from a poor signal.

Nowdays most serious racers are cutting up Dominators to make 2Vs.

They ran the 650's x 3. I wont need anything that large myself. Scott, I had a sheetmetal intake from Treadwell a few months ago off of his Comp 300. I think I still have some pics, i'll email them to you. It might give you some ideas on finishing yours up.

Hey Scott,
I have a Clifford intake with 3 Holley 500's that I bought awhile ago, that I'll probably never use if you're ever interested.

Ok, im sure me or SIXGUN would be interested.

OOOPPPSSS Forgot for a second both Scotts were on here, either way I might be willing to part with it or trade.

RICH:
I'll PM you tomorrow on them...

Sounds good

Rich, is that the same setup you have on your Pinto or something else.

Scott, it's the same setup,

Are you switching to something else, or is it an extra setup.

It is an extra setup,Been trying to collect all the different intakes for the big 6

Rich, You need some like this:
