WELD/SUTTON DIRT MISSILE build

[GregWeld]

I didn't grow up winning go kart races at 13..... I'm old..... I didn't start doing this crap until I bought Old Yeller..... and that was a mere 7 years ago. 700 HP is all I'm going to sneak up on right now. When I can drive this SOB to new track records..... then maybe I'll add some more gasoline to it.

Whaat?

Everyone knows you need max hp right out of the gate to be fast. Quitter.

This dyno sheet is Greg's engine. It is our "Track Warrior 3 LS7".



You can see a detailed list of all the internal components in our catalog HERE.

Three things should stand out ...
1. The build components are almost overkill for "only" 700hp. That's to increase longevity.
2. The ARE dry sump is simply the best dry sump & best protection for the engine in a car with high G's.
3. The power curve is relatively "linear" which makes these engines easier to drive fast.

A few other notes:
A. The "dead on" dyno at Scoggin-Dickey shows 707hp. It will make 8-11 more horsepower once we we change the oil from Driven BR break-in Oil to Driven LS oil.
B. We did NOT dyno the engine with step headers. If we did the top end power would be the same, but the power band from 2500 to 6000 would show higher & even flatter.
C. Greg's headers are the RSRT "tuned" Step Headers ... 1-3/4" to 1-7/8" to 2.0" and will have more power from 2500 to 6000 than the dyno curve shows & be even flatter.
D. This same engine with the very basic, single stage GM OEM LS7 dry sump makes about 15 less HP.
E. The happy window power curve on this particular Track-Warrior engine is 2500-7500rpm on track.

Front end, hood & doors mount this week. Powertrain next week. Still on track to track test June 28th.

Ron, it’s proving to be harder than expected to marry into the Weld family and with time running out I’ve decided to send you my resume. As you’ll see I’m extremely qualified...not so much in your line of business but I do adapt quickly. I’ve also taken multiple photography classes during my short stay in high school and feel I would be able to assist in the media side of the business, as well as the Star Girls calendar—Sieg is old and can not be trusted.
I’m available as soon as the 28th, shirt size is an XLT and as long as the hat is for an adult it’ll fit.

Thank you for your consideration.

Poor Basher.........
