MAX HP WITH A VE

[92 D/UNIT]

what is the highest hp achieved with a VE pump?

[jer1]

KTA's six twenty-something is the highest I've seen. Anyone break 700?

[Begle1]

I think that KTA's the top dog at the moment.


And NO, everybody knows that it's impossible to break 400 horsepower with a VE. I mean, um, 500 horsepowr. Err... 600 HP? 7 hundred horsepower with a VE hasn't been done yet, but the past milestones were all blown away.

Stomp did 639.7 (#2 only) on a 14mm VE at Piers First Gen Day in 2005 according to his signature on DTR.

[Begle1]

So how high can we get with nitrous, propane and water?

[KTA]

Stomp did 680rwhp with water&meth on Piers dyno at the same event he did 639. I have been 645 on a local dynojet, but it wasnt a diesel event so it does not count. My highest was 627 no correction factor at Bowling Green on David Dunbars dyno, so that is my official number. I have also been 110mph in the 1/4mile making me the fastest(not qickest) known 1-st gen.

[Begle1]

Would nitrous give any extra top-end, or is everything just so fuel limited that it wouldn't do much?

kta, i'm glad you brought that up. 110 in the 1/4 mile at only mid 13's, must leave like a pig then pull like a freight train from about 330 ft on . what's the 60 ft time? what rpm in what gear you crossing at? i saw the video on another site, just too cool

I think I heard him saying since the twins his 0-60 times are between 2.8-3.2. Hard to get off the line with 235s with out smoking them.

It is true, since the twins I cant get a good launch, all my runs have been in the 2.8-3.2 range. If I leave easy the chargers lag, If I leave on the chargers the tires lag. LOL My B-1 by itself was perfect. I could pull 2.2 60' regularly with it, it wouldnt over power the tires as bad as the twins. When I ever bring it back out again it will have a diffrent cam to kill some bottom end power to try to get the launch back and pull even harder on the top end. I dont want to add anymore tire/hook as I know the drivetrain wouldnt like it at my trucks weight and power.

Hey KTA, is that with a normal head on the IP? I can't figure out how you can get enough fuel through a VE to create 600+ HP on straight K2....

[KTA]

My 600+rwhp runs on #2 only have all been with my 14mm pump head. I was stuck in the 480's rwhp #2 only on the stock head. 489 was my best with no correction factor on the stocker. I tried everything I could with my setup to get over 500, but just couldn't quite make it. I think that with a diffrent camshaft I could have done it, but I never resorted to that so I cant say for shure. I am still busy gathering parts doing machine work and fabbing on project 1000+rwhp streetable truck to get old yellow up and running. It needs attention, but too many projects and too little money means it sits for now. Depending on how another motor program I am working on turns out I will decide what I am going to do as for fixing/building it back.

So is this 1000hp cummins?

Will it be VE equipped?

[KTA]

Yes its a cummins, but no it probably wont have a VE. I suspect its #2 only power is getting close to tapped out. I think 700 is doable, but not 800 or more. ( Thats a dare for someone to prove me wrong like everyone that said 400 was impossible on a stock pump or those that said 500 couldnt be done with a modified one.) The target is out there Im just waiting for someone to hit it to motivate me again.

[Fnschlaud4620]

well if you ever get the big p-pumped motor done and want to sell your ve give me a hollar!
