Default Re: HP

Many time record holder for many races watched me work on my car to make it faster. Working on many areas some which should have been significant but no ET. After the 3rd conversation where he repeated you need horsepower then all you work will show up on track. Having exhausted most of what could be done other than a better engine stepped up to the plate opened my wallet & ears took a year off to get it together. Afterword all the ET showed up.


Back when was talking with Vern about his energy recovery system he justified it with feedback from his LS pump development with an engine masters project. Remember him mentioning how deep the oil pan was and how his system maintained the oil column in the long pickup tube. He was talking about a large hp gain at that power level.

Do I think it will pick up the same on a stocker engine? Probably not especially the low hp combinations.

Would the power gain be linear? Possibly.

What am confident in there is a significant gain plus other small benefits in other areas add up combine gains from thin rings and gas ported spacers will pick up significant power which will show up on the track.

It does come at a price and a good amount of fabrication.
