The Engine Masters TV series started as a magazine story which became an annual event.
I think in Popular Hot Rodding.
Then its own magazine series.
Was very cool.
Each yr they devised new rules for the season.
I.e., OE iron small blocks, any head, any cam, sgl 4 brl NA.
Anyone could enter.
Saw some cool packages.
Now morphed into the TV show.
Tons of history in that dyno cell.
I just never heard of Brule, or his race boat motor building until seeing him on TV.
The other guys have been around forever.

Our finished 525 throttle body.
Spacer to extend throttle body out to help #1 short radius.
525 liwer ported.
Lower with big injectors installed.
525 stock throttle body.
525 intake top with stock plate cut off.
We were able to achieve 700 hp, 700 lb ft. With these intakes.
565 cu in. 9.3 comp. But they were done. Came to the conclusion it would be much better and cheaper to just have intakes made to what we wanted. The nice thing about sheetmetal intakes is you start with a clean sheet of paper.

This thread has certainly peaked my interest. I have warmed up 500efi's, making 625hp. Aluminum Promax heads, 509ci, cam, bigger injectors and porting to intakes. Wonder if theres any gains left on the table with a tunnel intake? Kwright, really dig your build and read your resto thread in fountain section, well done.

Agreed, eventually you hit a wall and it becomes futile, but none the less you're still 100 hp up from where you started. good thing for boats is they make a ton of down low tq..
