Apparently truckin just recently did the same but with a 5.3 and took it to failure at 1300 hp.

 

The failure was a lifter, not the bottom end. These little engines are awesome

 

whats funny is they are 5.5ft mustang dyno rollers weighing in at 4250 a piece and it has a load cell, but for whatever reason it just work like the highway.

most cars dont have a problem but mine and some others do like his.

 

Odd, but I encountered the same thing on a HUGE 72" roller Land and Sea that had eddy breaks and when we went to the street we had to turn the boost down 3 psi. This happened even when loading the car with the break. The only thing I can think of is the overall load is just not as representative as the load the car sees on the street going up hills and such.

 

yeah sometimes its ok, other times its apples oranges lol

 

Thats how a turbo works, it likes a load. Thats why you can run tall gears, and why a car wont boost in neutral, great work.

 

Truckin didnt "do" the article... they purchased the right to print it from the author Richard Holdener.

I wont spoil part 2..... but it makes more than 1300.

 

700WHP!!! :o
