Great thread guy's but not to change the subject, Does anyone have a 2009-2010- Dodge Challenger R/T ? I'm thinking about getting one and want some first hand knowledge first. Thanks. Tom

who cares about topic, thats why its the BS thread..............

Oct 15-Dec 27th is boring for me. The boat is away and there is no snow on the ground. Plus, I sold my quad a few weeks ago. After Xmas I try to ride as much as possible. We have a fleet of sleds up at our Lake George house.

I like the "girls on the boat pics" subject better !

No idea who these girls are...they just came over and parked themselves on my sunpad. I had no problems with it!

Ive got a CR 500 to cure those blues. The thing is mint $1350.00

I dont really ride it anymore. Between the boat and drag racing I dont have tme for bikes, Sold my 250r quad last year too.

This thing will rip your arms out!

is it me or does it seem like CT owns the northeast section...hahaha

just sayin and bs'ing LOL

The only problem I have iwth boats is from the crank back.

I am not knowledgeable on drives and props that will handle that kind of HP. from what I have read not too many people are.LOL

Guys are shredding props at about 1000 HP and god only knows what would hold up drive wise maybe a #6 or a konrad?

being an OB guy I really dont know drives very well.
I can certainly spec you the turbos, wastegates and BOv's and also help you with set up thats no issue at all. You may need to have some pieces fabricated but I think your in the right business for that.

Id also suggest running a vaccum pump on the engines as boost pressures will like to kreep into the bottom end and tend to push out gaskets if theres not negative pressure in the bottom end. I do that on my race car Just make things last longer.

Hers some theory for you.
An engine is a big air pump, It runs at atmospheric pressure, so theoretically if you add 1 bar (15PSI) you are doubling the amount of air ingested, Now 15 psi will be different on all engines because boost is a measure of restriction, not a measure of air flow. So a better flowing engine at 15 PSI is moving more air.

SO lets take a 300 HP engine N/A put 15 PSi to it and it should theorectically make 600HP .

Take a 600 HP naturally aspirated engine and it will make 1200 HP at 15 PSI. This is all assuming the engine can flow that amount of air without finding new restrictions exhaust intake etc.


I can predict that your boat with twin BBC's and turbos set up properly will make more pwoer than you will EVER have the sack to USE.LOL

Id be real interested in helping you out with this project. I have been wanting to this for along time Now all you need to do is buy richies new sutphen hull thats in the shop and were on our way.


Just Kidding.

Now were gettin somewhere!....The Sutphen run a few weeks ago.......Mines the hottie on the bottom RIGHT !!!

Just to add to that a 300 CID engine THINKS its 600CID at 15 psi and a 454 thinks its 908 CID at 15 PSi

Sometimes that puts it in better perspective for epole than HP. Because HP is torque x rpm

Pontiacs will make much less HP than thier SBC counterparts but will also usually make allot more torque. most times it evens out and they run similarly. Its all based on gearing at that point. You want to build for the charicteristics of your particular engine.

BTW whats in those engines for connecting rods?
