FinnShark - Isolohkomiehille kunnon luettavaa

Eilen tupsahti taas postilaatikosta CHPn tuorein numero. Tällä kertaa runsaasti mielenkiintoista luettavaa, suosittelen irtonumeron ostoa jollei vakitilaajiin kuulu.

454 vs 496 vs 540 juttu erityisesti oli kiinnostava...

CHP: Are there any other engines that are doing well?
BM: The 540 Hardcore big-block is among our top 10 most popular products. It comes with cast-iron or aluminum heads and makes 610 or 630 hp. It goes for about $11,000. CHP: We understand you've just done some cam testing on that motor?
BM: Yes. With a hydraulic cam and lifter swap, the 540 jumped up to 690 hp, along with 618 lb-ft of torque. That's 60 extra horsepower for $600. We anticipate that the hydraulic-roller cam will be a big sell- ing point.

Chevrolet has a long tradition of underrating the power output of its big-block creations (435 hp for the L88?), and it's nice to know that some things never change, as demonstrated when Westech had occasion to dyno a bone-stock GMPP ZZ572/620 crate engine. = 710 true HP

CHP: What about some of the aluminum blocks you employ, such as the Donovan?
SS: Well, it saves weight and runs cooler, and they're much easier to repair, which is good for racing engines. But in a street car, it's just a cool thing to have.

CHP: You also mentioned your 582/745 hp Big Dawg engine.
SS: The 582 is a tremendous motor. It's for guys who want maximum power but can't fit a tall-deck motor under their hood. That's what they want; it has to fit under the hood.
