Then, I believe either in 2007 or it might have been 06, Bob M, set a spped of either 96 or 98 in TN.
But, I would think the official record is Steve's.

Bob was using an 850 in his !!!! Just kidding Bobby.

It's going to be a great season in SVL this year!!!

That's the number in July 4th heat. That was when the lower spec Vortec was in place (5400 RPM 540 HP). An average 525 will dyno at 570- 575.

I think you got your numbers backwards my friend.If you can find me a 525 putting out 575hp I'll pay good money for it.If its a sealed motor.

as always, the big motor debate! Funny how the teams using the blue motors have no complaints! and the ones not using them have no one to race! its time to move on!

You may want to check around. Everyone I have ever seen (525) is over 570 HP have been since 2003. I dont think this is by any means a secret. Considering I used to see every dyno sheet in all of APBA Offshore I have seen a few! A 525 out of the crate runs at that level.

Doug, I dont think Steve is to far off on a sealed 525. Thats a dyno number from the crank before it goes threw the drive train. Merc's rated HP numbers are normally at the prop. They were conservative when they named it the 525. I would guess there is a 25 HP loss going threw the drive train.
Keep guessing why you got your a$$ kicked last year!!!!
