Oh yeah, or a powerglide. Then a gear vendors OD and run the street too. I mean what 16k for the crate engine, might as well have the best.After market T-400's that live behind 4000K HP.

That’s what I thought but not sure. I am wondering if that is what’s in the no prep cars Kye and Lizzy are running. Lizzy has a brand new car and it’s a beast. Kye is up front most time.Mussi is north of 900 ci now.
Yeah, that why I suspect it more for longevity than just straight up HP. It still turns 7k though. It is pretty impressive for a GM crate motor, but damn that price point,but it is allegedly all forged internals.Hyd roller is not letting it sing.
Full mechanical valve train and assorted other mods and Chickens numbers are attainable. It would push the power band north of 6600. Parts are stressed more. Longevity is compromised.
Lizzy and Kye's engines are like 965 cubic inches. A couple years ago Sonny's unveiled a 1000 cu in engine. Billet blocks and enough money you can build about anythingWell we are talking street here for the most part.
How big is musey building them these days.
The factory never gives you everything man. They never do.
965 cu. in...ish with like 5 kits of nitrous. They 60ft @ .99? Sec. And are running out the door at the 1/8th in the 200+ mph range in probably 3.8-3.9 secondsThat’s what I thought but not sure.

Surely that's a prepped surface right? If not that's impressive, actually it's impressive no matter what.965 cu. in...ish with like 5 kits of nitrous. They 60ft @ .99? Sec. And are running out the door at the 1/8th in the 200+ mph range in probably 3.8-3.9 seconds
I saw a time slip yesterday from Murder Nova where he finally ran a 200 mph with a 1.00 sec 60ft time

1 sec. 60' has to be an amazing feeling

Murder Nova has been on a roll of late. He has that combo on track.
I can see chief standing back. That is a grueling schedule. I can only imagine the funding it takes to make every show and run hard with spare parts.Big Chief claims he doesn't want to play the games and that his focus is just on street racing.
Murder Nova has been on a roll. I speculate Ryan Martin has been helping him figure out the tuning stuff. But they've pretty much all got cars specifically built for no prep track racing and their "street" cars for the street.
Yeah man. That's a very tough schedule and I would think they all have to pay their crews. No way that many people can take off work to travel that much. I can't imagine how much money they are spending to put on a show. I don't know how it all works, but surely Discovery has to be paying x amount per show.I can see chief standing back.

I watched an interview with murder nova on YT a bit back. His "street" car has a 60/40 weight bias, to the rear. The motor is Waayy back in the chassis. His no-prep car was set up really different as a 60% bias on the track meant the front wheels were never on the ground. Let me see if I can find it.Big Chief claims he doesn't want to play the games and that his focus is just on street racing.

We don't do the no prep stuff. But our car is set up very close to 60/40 weight bias with it being nose heavy. On the prepped surfaces we run on having more weight on the nose helps keep the front end down and also helps with wheel speed. On a big tire car you have to balance the bite and wheel speed to keep the tire as round as possible. When you dead hook and wad up the rear tire it makes the chassis react slower and sometimes makes it easier to drive into tire shake.I watched an interview with murder nova on YT a bit back.

Not dealing with that level of power but when we finished/tested my 69 Camaro we were having the same issues sans the tire shake. I ended up scaling the car and adding weight to the rear. It is a balancing act and we had to step up on the rear shocks. The car would launch, the rears would jump off the ground and the car would launch again. Had to slow motion a video to catch it. A serious set of rear shocks and some tinkering with launch RPM/tire pressure and settings got us on track. Also setting the distance the front "A"s travelled down to before they picked up the tires and applied that weight was key.We don't do the no prep stuff.

All that on a 9 flat car. I can see where they struggle with Mega power/tire size/no prep.
If it was easy anybody could do it.
This thread has brought back a lot of memory's of us chasing our cars (2 of them) to be decent bracket cars. Consistency being the key. 69 was a back half car we built on a churchmouse budget as we were doing 2 cars self funded.
Rear was a ladder bar set up so that was a detriment as they are a bit more violent than a 4 bar. Narrowed 9" with Strange engineering guts. 14W32's was about all we could get under it.
If you look at the slicks in the pick it took us a bit to achieve that amount of bite and get the car to leave like that about every time unless the track just sucked. Even then we could manipulate it to be consistent.
I loved this car. It was a hoot to drive and fun to watch. The pic was our finals winning pass at that race. We won with both cars that day. Winning aint that easy peoples.
