Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) 450 H/P from a 180H/P pump?

[AWM]

just wondering if you can get 425-450 horses out of a 180 pump with bolt on stuff, the set up below ran 353hp/640tq, (don't wan't to remove the plate),need more!, thanks Bob

I would think a different plate would be your way to go. With the exchange process they have it's cheep too.

A more aggressive plate and some special delivery valves would help. EDM injectors? Twins? Sending the pump to Piers to be stoooopified wouldn't hurt either. How much do you want? (Read: how big is your wallet?)

AWM, my stock 180 pump with these same Twins, Laser DV's, a Custom Plate and 370's was at the 540 range.

180 pump+minor tweaks=560

A 175 just dynoed (at our dyno day) 453 hp with 370s, 0 plate, HX40, 4" exhaust. Stock delivery valves; 4K gov kit.

 

[AWM]

Joe, that set-up sounds just about right, does 0 plate mean no plate at all?, the reason I don't wan't more is the 30 something year old chevy frame is no where near as beefy as the dodges. Bob

 

[Joseph Donnelly]

No, it is the zero plate I designed and TST makes for me. It has the numeral zero on the top where other plates have 4, 5, 6, etc. Let me know if you need one.

 

[JDailey]

You can get plenty out of a 180 pump. But I would skip the 0 plate and just take it to a good pump shop. They will recal it, and set the fuel and rpm where you want it. the right way... for the same money or pretty close.

 

[Joseph Donnelly]

The shop can calibrate all day but won't get enough rack travel without the right plate. That is, unless they adjust rack vs. plate position so far that driveability will suffer--and the engine probably won't idle.

Hmm that 0 plate sounds interesting I wonder if TST would swap mine after a year and a half I have a #4 now?

 

[JDailey]

Hey Donnelly, sounds like you need to find a different pump guy. Or are you a Bosch pump tech? Or just someone trying to sell fuel plates? Hmmmm... ...

 

[Joseph Donnelly]

Dailey, my pump guy gave me enough pump for 799. 9 hp. I trust his work. How about your pump guy--what does your pump give on the Dynojet. hmmmm?

:-laf :-laf Come on guys, fight nice.

So Ah Joe...

Is this a new beginning for Sickly????. New paint,different pump and shorter numbers??????????... ... . Andy

 

[JDailey]

Well, I don't know about a dynojet. We use an engine dyno. But if you are satisfied with your 3 digit numbers, keep using your pump guy and your 0 plate.

 

[Sled Puller]

Piers has nifty little race plate.



Or a grinder makes a nice one also. It ain't that big of deal.

Nothing to invent at all. This pump has been a round a bit.





Some of those "NON 3 digit" hp engines will be at Jesup, come and see,you will believe!

 

[JDailey]

I wonder if piers has to pay royalties... . since Donnelly invented the fuel plate. lmao



You are right about Jesup.
