1482 hp small block chevy for hot rod
 

We just finished David Frieburgers twin turbo small block for project f-bomb we plan to run this car at drag week.The motor made 1025 hp and 980 ft lbs on 91 octane and 1482hp at 5600 rpm and 1441 ft lbs of torque.we actually had about 200 hp more in the motor but the 83 lb injectors were stuck open at that point.This is is a totally streetable combo as a matter of fact the cams advertised duration is 266 seat to seat.We got a ton of video during the testing.we made over 31 pulls above a 1000 hp.I'm going to convert the video and post it when were done.Nelson Racing Engines

Awesome. Just awesome. Can't wait for the video. :thumbsup:

Wow, man. I just soiled myself. :thumbsup:

Tom, how much boost and total timing for both the 91 octane pulls and the all out pulls on the dyno?

that exhaust is just plain SEXY

This may sound like a dumb question. But what are those cylinders above the turbos that stick out? Is that an intake of some sort? Should I know the answer to this? Probably...I am a bad pro-tourer :( ;)

They are waste gates. They are used to control how fast the turbo spins and therefore how much boost it produces. It does this by a spring loaded diaphram that diverts exhaust gases to the "dump" tube bypassing the turbine side of the turbo.

Very nice Tom!!.
