Competition The ultimate competition

is who will be the first to break 1000 hp. Read that the Dura-Max has mods coming soon that will kick it up to 800. Sort of reminds me of the drag racing days waiting to see who would be the first to break 200 mph.

According to this, the feat has already been accomplished... CJ

i think somebody needs to destroke the 5. 9 and it will make 1000 HP. about a 3. 75" stroke. need to put it on a desk top dyno set up and see what stroke will work out best. the cummins is a torque monster, but for high HP, this is what we need to do.

doesn't anybody else remember that thread SP posted a while back about a Cummins being first to make 1000hp?



Also, NO BODY ELSE thinks Mitchell or that Schieds truck is over 1000hp?

i don't know if they are a 1000 HP or not. They don't use NOS do they. I think NOS will have to be used before 1000 is hit. I also think that mitchel and schieds are more than just motor,... ie. drivers, suspencion, etc.

1000HP can be obtained without "drugs". Look at all the prostock tractor pullers who turn 1500+HP with a 400ci motor. With pistons that are flycut greatly, a really mean cam, good flowing head, lots of fuel, and 120+ psi of boost, and water injection; 1000HP could be obtained fairly easily. It all depends on how much $$$ you want to spend. Dave Mitchell told me back in the spring that with marine flycut pistons, one of his mean cams, and 40+ degrees of timing, my truck would have to ethered every time just to start it. I haven't built this motor yet, but he is correct. Just imagine how much air and fuel you could cram into a 5. 9 with compression that low. Another thought is the head. I was also talking to Kent back in the spring and he informed me of a marine head that flowed better and was stronger. With the products that are available for the 5. 9, there is no doubt that 1000HP can be easily obtained. If you think it hasn't been done yet, go watch Kent(Scheids) or Dave pull. I pull with both of them and I know roughly where I stand. These guys are way ahead of me. There's no doubt that they are 1000+HP.
