Re: Hosepower on monday?
Jeff, I'm not just picking on you. I just printed out the specs for the Ford crate motors and the Chrysler ones. Anyone with half a brain knows these motors are ridiculously under rated. Just one example look at the 5.7 Hemi that's rated at 305hp.. It's 12.7 to 1 compression ratio, its got 2.10 intake valve and 1.60 ehaust, a 584/552 cam, a 1000 cfm throttle body and heads according to Hot Rod magazine that flow 315 cfm right out of the box. This motor will make over 600 hp easily. The Fords are just as bogus. If you all think this is good for stock eliminator mail me whatever you're smoking. Oh and by the way, for all you owners of $100,000 cobalts or G5s wait till some Ford or Chrysler guys get these motors in GT, they've got heads you can only dream about.
