too much power
 

is the a such thing as to much power in s/g .im looking at an engine that makes about 1100 hp.would i have a hard time slowing it up?

Re: too much power
 

Ed Alessi Sr just put his son's t/d 632 in his Catalina and is running is s/g. The best way to slow down that much power is with a 2 stage stop which has 2 air cylinders and controls the primarys and secondaries sep. CBS Jr. uses this setup in his 200mph s/st car.

Re: too much power
 

I would think you would have a hard time paying for it !!!!! Never mind slowing it up...

With that much suds why not Top Sportsman ????

I guess I would ask myself why I need 1100 hp to go 9.90...and all of the maintainance and drivetrain to handle it..

Did you hit the lotto ?

Hows the front half coming ?

GEEZ guys 1100 ponies for a S/G car? Are you the same guy that put the rocket motor on the bar stool?I understand the desire to have some MPH for the finish line but WOW!!! Good luck. Joe

Come on Gary...thats not what i use. I figured something else out that works wayyyyyy better. 1100 hp thats for kids ask CR. lol

Re: too much power
 

I wouldn't put it in no S/G car, maybe a S/ST car:)

BB now that would be cool.

Re: too much power
 

1100 hp at 2800lbs will go 7.93@173
1100 hp at 2400lbs will go 7.60@182

This is according to my Moroso Power Speed Calculator pt# 89650

I'd rather be 2400lbs.

Re: too much power
 

1100 HP for S/G is not to much ,,,(I have to agree wit Jr. on this one ) ,,,yea it is a little harder to dial and you are on the stop a little longer but once you get your combanation all sorted out ,Chasing is way better than being Chased ,,,,, Trust me on that one !!

Re: too much power

Whats wrong with that.

Re: too much power
 

Too Much Power ????????? is there such a thing? 1100 is about middle / upper half of the field in S/C so for S/G would be chasing alot (way better)... I think the worst thing that you would have to do to handle that power is put an Air Blade Stop (i/o Electric) or that FANCY new stepper motor electric stop so you can control how fast the stop turns on and off.

As Tim Allen would say .... MORE POWER OHHH OHHHH OHHHH

Re: too much power
 

I tried in Virginia :)

Re: too much power
 

i dont think 1100hp is to much Val Torres Sr makes around 1100hp and goes 170mph in s.g at most tracks.... onece u get ur set up right im pretty sure u will love it!
