Cut past the water O-ring. (biiiig)
I know what'd be cool... peripheral port rotor housings and monster bridge side housings... can you say "pathetic intake velocity"?

a normal bridge port doesn't go that far.

J-port? I guess it all depends where you live ... or where I am from just may be wierd.
In South Australia a "Monster port" is where the port cuts past the water jacket, and an extended bridge is what they call a "J Port".
I just moved to Queensland and I get looked at wierdly calling my car a "J Port" and the port is only 20thou from the water o-ring.
Oh well

adding heads to a N/A big block will never get it to 1800hp.....I dont care what kind of car the heads came off of. The damn Indy car wouldnt even make 1800hp.....especially an indy car old enough that it would have been running a Chevy big block!!!!!!
Maybe he was running 7's in the 1/8th.....that would sound more like it. People around here always seem to get the 1/8 and the 1/4 mixed up. I asked this Stang owner (80's stang) what he ran and he told me 10's in the 1/4. He popped his hood and I was thinking to myself there is NO way this motor would go 10's. I asked him what track he runs at and the one he named was a 1/8 mile. Funny how people can go racing at the track and not even know how long the track is!!!!
He thought he had a fast car until I told him it was an 1/8 mile track. He didnt believe me till I raced and destroyed him in my 12 sec car to prove his wasnt a 10sec car. That car was soooooo slow and he actually thought it was faster than every production car on the planet because he had a Flow Master exhaust and cam that sounded mean as hell. WHAT A DUMB *** HE WAS!!!!!

KOS racers running similar heads on stroked/bored big-blocks (think displacement in the 570+cid range) and "a little" nitrous
are deep into the 8's in the King of Street classes. 1800hp really isn't THAT farfetched, although until recently it was difficult to get more than 511cid out of a BB Mopar, and the heads just plain sucked. (When did Indy heads come out?)

, who in the world gave you the rights to take away an "ILUSION" from a Mustang owner J/K I have a friend who owns a 88 Mustang LX with short headers, ported heads, B cam, and a Cobra intake manifold...he swears that he has taken on 3rd gens. His last mod was a supercharger, but get this "He's going to make his car handle better than a Porsche 911"

OK clowns, who said its was N/a... I agree that a n/a motor would be hard pressed to get 1800 hp, unless you want to talk about pro-stock cars that are"all motor"..
The engine in question was based on the 528 cid race package, but was reworked to 540 cid, running 14-71 blower, the car was backhalfed and tubbed, the orignal dash and floorpan gave way to aluminium sheet, all glass was lexan, including the windshield that was held in with sheet metal screws, the front end was one piece 'glass tilt, and it ran 33x18.5 drag slicks on a narrowed ford 9". How do I know so much about this car? I was present when it went together, and I was part of the group that put it together, you guys may not want to beleive, because it cost real money to build, about 85,000 worth of real money, not including about 15 thousand in wasted cash by buying parts that were not up to the task or were an impulse buy, like a set of B-1 heads that lived on the engine for about 2 weeks, a blower that ate itself in 2 hours, and 4 rearends until we discovered there is more than one ford 9" inch, and opted for the 'daytona" housing...5.13 gears unfortunately do no make for a very streetable car with a 3 speed manual shift auto, how streetabel was it? well not very, we cruised it, but the fuel cell held enough fuel for about 10 miles of easy driving, when it came to racing, it was trailered to the midnight drags, but it had full plates and insurance in case it had to be driven somewhere on the road.. The car was built to beat some of the heavy hitters that were showing up at the midnight drags, a coronet with a blown hemi, a early mg with a blown 327, and a big block camaro with a enough nitrous to power a freight train underwater, I was pretty small potates with my 450 hp 76 camaro...
There was little interest by the owner to run it at the track, as it was clock racing, and to him, that wasn't racing.. Its cars like this that probably make streetracing the most dangerous, this car was capable of 160+mph trap speeds, doing that on the street is asking for it.
So what happened to this car, by 18 the owner had discovered hard drugs and let the car rot in his backyard under a tarp, while he sold it piece by piece and put the proceeds up his nose..The car or whats left of it, is sitting now in his parents backyard, all that remains is the general shell and few guages...
You guys just have to remember, before most of you had internet or knew what a T04 was, some of us had drivers licences and fast cars, and big horsepower which is not mutually exclusive to the modern era of turbo's small displacements and EFI, in 1990, it took more work, more cid, and more ambition, but there were cars back then, that would still be untouchable on the street today, reguardless of technological advances, as most of you well know, gas+boost= power, now add over 500 cid into the equation and you start to get the picture....Max

Indy brought out thier first head in 1990, as a replacment for the max wedge heads, it also allowed you to use standard intakes and pistons, the downside was the heads need external oil feed lines. The budget racer was actually limited to about 474 cid 10 years ago, but with a low deck b 400 block, and a kellog (hemi) crank, 528 then 540 were doable, the only problem was, you needed a REALLY good thick bore block, pushed to the limits of overbore, and the cooling passages had to be stuffed with block fill to stop the bores from wandering when revved high, if the engine smashed up, there was no room for cleanup machining, one bad bore and it meant starting all over again, that's not an issue now though with the new indy mega blocks, and mopar race blocks, they take big bores easily...
Yeah, stock heads suck on a BB, serious people threw the stockheads in the scrap pile right off the bat, and went Max wedge, indy, b1, or b1-ts.. Now there are some unbeleivable heads for the Chrysler Big block, edelbrocks, indy, b1, mopar, etc etc.. The edels have to be the best for the buck though, middle of the road cammed 440's making 600+hp, with a single square bore 4bbl carb, and still pulling 14" of vaccuum..
Its interesting that you bring up KOS, There was a guy that was in the deep 7's in New york with a doorslammer car sometime ago(91-92?), If I remember right, it was a charger with an blown hemi running alcohol, it had no cooling system, but made the 20 mile trek from his house to the track and back in it, apparently he was THE FASTEST in the U.S. and was changing his motor to push into the 6's, I don't know what happened to him or his car, never saw it in any mags after the first story on it..
Some of the domestic drag cars are getting pretty wild, carbed small blocks deep in the 8's now, and they still resemble driveable cars, when you think about it, back in the 60's and early 70's , guys getting into the low 10's in superstock with showroom components was pretty good, hell lots of all motor import racers can't buy themselves a low 10 now...Max

Super Newbie
Actually there were 7 second doorslammers back in the early Nineties, but I seem to recall them huffing nitrous and pushing closer to ~1200 hp. I remember reading about a 66 Chevelle owned by Danny Sullivan (I think that was his name) running a 7.65 on 7 cylinders. These cars were 'streetable' (made a 25 mile drive as part of the competition) as well.

I think alot of people are to use to seeing the average street machine muscle car with 450-600 hp on the street and when something killer comes along, its totally unexpected, and unbeleived till it blows your doors off.
Car craft ran an interesting story that talked about the streetracing of heavy hitters, they broke it down into 3 groups of people, teenagers in moms car racing, moderately modded cars racing for 20 bucks, and total monsters racing for large sums of cash, my guess is that most fall into group 1 or 2, and only a few know about group 3..
TO greg and hwo, if you want to buy what remains of that car, i do beleive you can buy it for about 2500-3000, I am pretty sure its in the local classifieds right now, and I know who has the engine, and would part with it for 10 grand or so... think you can build or drive a car into the 7's? I use to have the same attitude you guys did, when I first heard of 600hp rotary's and 800 hp supras, I thought know way, total bullshit, until I saw it for my own eyes, now its an accepted relatively common occurence, Chrispeeds TII in the 9's who woulda thunk that eh?
Felix:
I don't recall the chevelle, but it was guys like that , that Nos fogger kits were made for, 800-1200hp nos shots were really popular for awhile, but it seems to me thats when nitrous explosion shots were really popular in the magazines about that time to, with that much n20 going into the motor, one minor fuel glich and the hood got blown into orbit.. Not to many people were running turbo's then, and blowers seemed to be the way to go, but there was the odd pantera or corvette that ran a hairdryer, forced induction has come along way, in price, accesability and reliability in the last ten years, and EFI has made it way easier to get big power on engines, there are more than a dozen grand nationals driving around with 1200 hp+ on the street these days, you really want to check their mods before you race one of those cars...
I really like that newer NMCA racing, despite the number of mustangs in it, but those guys are getting really really fast on all motor cars, some of those cars are still plated and insured as road cars, but some are grazing to the low 8's on some of the better tracks with small blocks, which is quite impressive....
Mustangs and camaro's seem to be the car of choice, maybe because they are cheaper bodies to rig up for racing, anything dodge thats v-8 or rwd is now way to expensive to hack into a race car or risk wrecking now that the collector types have driven their price through the roof, 5000 bucks for a slant six dart, pleassseee..But if you check this months issue of Car Craft their is a mopar powered new camaro owned by Dan paolini, he's running a chrysler small block in it, all motor and low 8's, kinda cool, I keep wondering what the pro-stock and top fuel guys think as the rest of the classes start creeping down towards their times, actually pro-stock doesn't look that fast anymore since everyone else seems to be getting faster..Max

Usable 13B power...
The most 13B horse power I have seen so far without the engine falling apart is 750rwhp which makes about 1008hp to the flywheel. The car is a 1985 Rx-7 3/4 chassis drag race car. The owner Race it at Englishtown N.J. in a NIRA Import race, the First gen. was the Number 1 Qualifier with a very impressive time slip of 8.15 @171 mph and the first gen. has a very legal weight requirement for his Pro Comp. class which is 2,200lbs.. the first gen. actual weight was 2,300lbs with the driver in it. The First Gen. Rx-7 is from Puerto Rico. I think every rotary engine builder could go out to a Dyno and try to make some record breaking horse power. But how much of it is usable? I like to see a rotary engine making 675 to 750rwhp and last a good drag race season with out having to tear it down.. Just my opinion..
