Tag: Dyno wednesday

This week’s Dyno Blast Wednesday clip features a silver Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 powered by an LS1 engine and enhanced with a big Procharger D1SC supercharger. With the help of twin intercoolers, this blower setup shoves 10 psi of boost into the engine and the result is an impressive 542 rear wheel horsepower and, according to […] More »

Now this is an interesting combo. Forum member Jackson has been building up the engine for his ’98 Camaro in a sort of unconventional way. He’s got a 6-liter block, but he’s running a 4.9-liter destroked cam shaft. The heads are from an LS3 and have been ported himself. At 16 psi and E85, he’s […] More »

Boost is one way to make a lot of power. Everyone loves it. But what I love even more than the surge of power from turbos is the raw fury of a naturally aspirated motor.  Typically though, big power means big engines. Big engines mean big weight, et cetera. Not this though. The thing about […] More »

Dang. Now that is a real turbo. The compressor clocks in at a whopping 106mm. Behind it is an LSx with what I’m assuming is a raft of supporting mods. According the youtube link, they made 1100 horsepower or so on this dyno run. Under normal circumstances, it makes anywhere from 1500 to 1600 horses. Yeah, sounds […] More »

The 944’s point and shoot handling have made it a popular track toy—but it’s far from the fastest thing to leave Stuttgart. In turbo trim, Porsche’s entry level coupe peaked at a 250HP, which was respectable back in that day, but pales in comparison to the 414HP this race-ready LS1-powered example is putting down on […] More »

I love Nelson Racing Engines. While I don’t have any experience with their handiwork in the real world, their videos are awesome. This 7-liter LSX is sporting NRE’s new Tunnel Ram Alien Intake, and as you might expect, it’s an absolute beast. It’s also described as being “so streetable.” Because doesn’t 1700 horsepower sound like […] More »

Talk about giving the dyno a work out. Dyno runs are generally just for tuning and horsepower bragging right, but they can also be used to simulated quarter mile bragging rights. I say just go out on the strip and run it, but these simulations are a good way to get an idea of how […] More »
