Spectators should at least hide behind a dumpster for explosion protection.
Ah yes, this is the type of quality discussion that I love. :woohoo:
I'm absolutely ashamed to admit I didn't even realize they were much above 2000. I've been seeing all these billet cranks, girdles, deck plates, filled blocks, custom heads and triple turbo arrangements over the years and I never grasped what they all added up to.
So was this one that exploded on the dyno a stock, non-filled block? What were they doing wrong?
Are the 3000+ builds all Sigma-style inline pumps or are common rails in there too? Are there any V-8's in that power range?
I'm surprised they don't have engine blankets and cables on that truck- I would think the group they pull with would require them?
There are some single charger trucks out there that are north of 3000hp. I’ve never really understood dyno racing either. A dyno is a tuning tool, nothing more
And when do they stop using correction factors with turbocharged and nitroused engines ?Side note, when are people going to stop wasting time on roller dynos and upgrade to hub dynos? Don’t say cost, that’s obvious. At this point in time there is no good reason to not have one if accuracy is important.
What size single turbo are we talking for 3000 hp?
What size turbos are typical for the 3-stage setups?

Oops, meant to say "3-turbo setup", not "3-stage setup".
Sounds like 150 PSI is about the goal on these engines?

If I am correct, most guys like to see 100-150 PSI but they are pushing a $hit ton of volume. I thought I saw a video where baca's truck hit like 190 or something crazy.

The billet D&J engine in Firepunk's S10 did about 3200hp on the engine dyno. Videos on YouTube. The sad, and or pathetic, part is there are a bunch of guys running huge power reliably in real competition, and these clowns can't even do it on just the dyno. This bonehead is long established as the most painfully slow 2k+ hp truck in existence. Cool pictures, but once again the king of ineptitude has shown his presence.

So how does engine coolant work for these real big horsepower guys?
Is there any coolant circulating at all with the filled/ billet blocks/ aftermarket heads?
How long can they run before over-heating?
At what HP/ RPM do non-filled stock blocks become grenades?
