First of all it sure is funny how some of you who used to be in my camp are on here now doubting an accomplishment by someone else. Tony Burkhart completely supported us last year when in Danville we broke the 1000 RWHP mark and he was the one dynoing Nasty! He supported our claim and did nothing but praise the M/A crew and myself for our work. And now you bash him?

I AM APPAULED!!!

What do you know about marine application diesel power? Do you know what changes when you eliminate HP drawing components? Do you know how much power is gained by engine temps, intake temps and egts being so much lower? Do YOU have any facts that the A5K can not make 1000 FWHP in a marine application?
Some of you were boasting about a 1200 RWHP fuel only motor being built for Merchants Spring Fling this year......ya'll better be able to back that one up!!!

Tony congrats dude!!! :rockwoot:

Like the A/C? Marine apps. run all the same accessories as a truck except A/C.

Unless the airboat has a air to water innercooler I can't see where the intake air temps would be much more than 40-50 degrees different than a truck application. Hence the water injection.

The reason it can over power a prop designed for 1000hp. is the same reason we all love diesels.....Torque!!!! A BBC at 1000hp has maybe 900ft lbs. versus 1800+ on a 1000hp. diesel.


Congrats Tony on a awesome build!
 
a 5000 will make 800 to the rear tires diesel only

A little over 800 with the right set up. 1000HP at the crank is possible with the A5K and with out over speeding it. There have been some good advancements in the A5K over the last year and it seemed to do pretty good at TS and at Franlin last weekend.

Getting it down the track is still part of the equation also.

Why would anyone one post a graph after the BS with Nasty Girl? Just go to the track and make it work.

Good job Tony.
