Last week was the Engine Masters. This is a competition that involves many of the top engine building teams in the country. The challenge does not just look at peak horse power and peak torque. It takes the average HP plus average TQ, then divides it by the engines cubic inchs and multiply that by 1000. The 1000 is just to make it a larger number. There are quite a few rules for the challenge and things like compression (11.5:1 max), 7,000 rpm limit, fuel and more are the same for everyone.
This year the top three numbers were from Ford modular motors. Including new best ever scores for team John Kaase. A year ago John had never done any work with these motors. lol
Anyone follow this event? You can see each days events and final standings here.
Popular Hotrodding does not allow you to link pictures. lol But click here to check out coverage. Including the 3000 mass air meter Accufab came up with. The dyno cell is set up to have fresh air coming strait down for a carb style set up. Well they needed a way to redirect the air into their front facing intake. Worked out as power picked up with it. haha
Also check out the headers on the Kaase motor. Split primaries?! Wowzers!
