Original plans were to run Pte 6466s. Recently been looking at a pair of S366s 66/73 .88 ar with vbanded exhaust housings. I like the idea of reliability of the BW units. My question is will they hit my power goals of 1400 hp on e85 and how do they spoil. The car will remain a 6 speed car mostly built for highway pulls. Engine will be a 6 bolt block not exceeding 400 cubes. Thx

Your previous best pass was 13.1, but your looking for 1400hp?

What is the car's intended purpose?

That was 10 years ago. Don't really update this too much. Pretty much a roll/highway car.

I guess too many people are making a 1000 horsepower nowdays. Might as well jump to 1400. I honestly can't comprehend what that number means. Can't even imagine how that much power could really be used.

It's a roll car.. You can EASILY use 1400whp on the highway.

If I where you I'd call BW or get on yellow bullet. I'm not an expert on BW units but I'm pretty sure 2X cast wheel 66mm BW units aren't going to efficiently make 1400whp

"Easily"? Hmmm.

At anything over 900RWHP on 275MT Pro's my car is an unruly, unpredictable monster. Some passes, it hooks ok others it may get totally squirly at 100mph. Nothing easy about 1000hp, let alone 1400hp+. :-)

Not a damn thing easy about 1400 hp. My car on 275-295 radials wont hook on street roll at 1100 whp+. 1000 ish its 50/50 depending on speed. Maybe 100-120+ mph starts it may work. My car aint light at 3814 lbs street trim

Not sure a 366 cast will get you 1400. Thats alot of power. 67-69 billets would

Its called traction control and proper boost ramp rates. I run with guys that put a lot more than that to the ground every weekend. If you know what your doing its not that hard. You guys need more seat time if you cant get 1000whp to hook up.. I dead hook at 60mph leaving at 4000RPM on the glide in 45* weather around 1000whp in a sub 3000lb car. That's with ALL the weight up front and a 275/50/15 tire.

I might been a little dramatic with the "EASILY" comment but the point im trying to make is a purpose build roll car can easily use 1400whp when done right. The reason most people don't think so is because they don't take the time to make it work. Setting up a big power roll car is no do different than a drag car in terms of seat time/practice/testing.

Guess what? Traction control and boost ramps arent making full power

You can def use it out the back

I am on a 26" nitto and I can make it work Sunday drive, no traction control

21lbs went 165mph in the 1/4 and the turbo is free spooled here once in, it would hold traction well beyond the power level in this vid

G meter says so

Thanks for clearing that up.... NO fast car uses all of its power immediately.. Like ZB said it can and DOES get used on the big end. I don't even have traction control. My boost ramp on the street is 2.5 seconds. I'm sorry you can't figure out how to use 1100whp but there are plenty of other people who do.

Bit more complicated than you make it out to be. Alot of variables at play. Thats all i am saying.

I can hook too with a boost ramp that anemic. But what is said sounded as if you implied hooking with full power. Slow ramp and trac control is more like 700-900 whp start and then waiting for 120 mph+ for it to come in full. By then it may work if downforce is present

Carry on

That run is slowed down so everyone watching the vid can see it come on 4psi spring pressure, then I arm it. It is done much sooner in any attempt at an interval

In this vid where I am targeting 60 on it is in much sooner. I lift at 165 there. Full boost is in near the gear change here

You make it sound like a 1000+ can't be used, I disagree, anytime in high gear 1000+ can be used.

I don't go to the track but every blue moon. All I am doing is rolling Intervals with the vbox

So many different factors at how the power is delivered. I agree, a roll into the power with a glide in 2nd won't start moving for quite a while anyway.

Bottom line is on the street, 1000whp is really pointless and stupid. You pulle your chute handle in that video.... You going to do that on the highway in a roll race if someone changes lanes in front of you? ha ha

1400hp for the track is a riot and stupid fun. And yes you can "power manage" any combo into traction but that is not the same as dead hooking 1000hp from a soft roll of say 40-50mph onward.

Lol I pulled the chute to show my friend what it felt like lol. You aren't going to win many roll races on the street with 1000whp

Easy to stop, no shitty *** 1lb drag brakes here

Yes so pointless and dumb I can drive it with one finger. I am not starting in high gear lol

Boost is peaking near the shift

at a 2.5 ramp rate being "anemic" and 1000hp being useless on the street. Jesus the derp is strong in here. Sounds to me like you two have spent more time explaining how's it useless rather than trying to make it work.. But hey, what do I know.

He thinks its pointless that's fine. It doesn't change the fact that people do it and the OP wants to. And if be wants to be competitive he will need well over 1k HP... AND will use it
