Competition 650-700hp

[Buck88]

I know you guys get a lot of these questions... but here it goes.



I've got a local pump shop that will set my pump up to flow 650cc of fuel. I was planning on running a set of Dragon Flows, and a twin setup utilizing my HX40 and an HT3B (Piers Street). But now I'm thinking a Silver Bullet. My only issue obviously is spooling it. It would probably cost about the same to get my twins running, or buy a SB. Personaly I like the idea of running a single charger.



I talked to Brandon at II, and he said that opinions vary... some say that the bullet will light quicker than a hx40/HT3B setup, and some say that it will light a little slower, it all varies on how the truck is set up.



I'd like some real world experience here. What's your guy's opinions? Will the SB light quicker... slower??? Am I on the right track of hp in the 650-700 range on fuel only???

Your talking two different languages in turbo's! A Bullet and 3B is not a good combo, but a Bullet and a Big Brother is.



Why not talk to them about a Silver 62 and a modified S400 hybrid, it will lite quicker and be more streetable for a daily driver. I run a Bullet as a single at 600 hp..... day to day and I drive 350-500 miles a week... ... 650-700 hp is easy to do.

I think he meant using the SB as a single vs. the 40/3B twins.

Thats exactly what I meant. Jim what do you think, with 650cc of fuel, a good port job, maybe a cam, would it spool like the 40/3B twins?

 

[Jim Fulmer]

The Spool will be fine but I don't think the SB has quite that amount of air, maybe closer to a 35/3B..... depending on who tunes it!



The Bullet is fine but you are going to hit a wall at 650 on a 12V, the best I've done is 640..... not that I'm a know it all!



Seems the C/R is better suited, once you get to 600+ with a 12V... . no N2O you need Twins as you are having to over come too many obstacles.



BOTW, I'd doubt my pump is over 500 cc's

So Jim, when you are talking twins, I assume your talking large, like a SB/BB. I'm not against nitrous in any way, actually I was planning on running it. A wall at 650hp huh? Nothing a little laughing gas can't fix. Just curious, what are those obstacles?

 

[Jim Fulmer]

I'm sure 700 could be done with a single turbo'd 12V but I'm talking a driver, like drive to an event! Gas... N2O... different story, there is power just waiting!

Hey Jim,

At Mopars at the Strip 2003, my '97 made 688; at May Madness 2003 Ol' Sickly made 763 hp on diesel only, single turbo--don't you remember Later made 800, diesel only, single turbo. So, sure, 700 can be done with the right combination, and I drove and towed with it.

What's up Joe! Man that was a long time ago wasn't it! Now I'm getting to the point you did, think it almost time to move on to another hobby and sell the 98'
