Subject: do the math!!!!!

Reher and Morrison advertise thier super series 555 to make 910 hp. Well lets do the math kids. 2450 min wt for BBC divided by 910 HP = 2.69 pounds per horse power.
With the current rules on the small blocks to make the same 2.69 punds per horse power a small block with a cast manifold and single carb will have to make 855 horse power.
Remember this is supposed to be "affordable" try making 855 hp out of a smallblock with a cast manifold and make it affordable!!!! My guess on a small block with a cast manifold and single carb is 750 -800 hp if you are lucky. That is probably an OVERESTIMATE!! but lets use those #s anyways. 2300/750 hp = 3.06 pounds per hp or in other words FIRST ROUND DUCK!!! 2300/800hp = 2.875 still a duck. THE EASIEST SOLUTION IS EITHER ALLOW SHEET METAL INTAKES AND 2 FOURS ON THE SMALL BLOCKS @ 2300 OR LOWER THE WEIGHT BREAK TO EITHER 2150 OR 2200 BEFORE YOU SAY I AM CRAZY DO THE MATH AND YOU WILL SEE.
Lets do some more math. 910 hp divided by 555 =1.64 horsepower per inch on the big block. Now lets look at the small block. 855 hp divided by 434 = 2 hp per inch. I have built a 434 before had over $12,000 in the shortblock alone. Had pontiac alum heads sheet metal intake single dominator it made 760 hp / 605 ft lbs torque. The bigger the motor the less per inch it will make typically. I know of a 396 ci buick headed small block w/ sheet metal intake 2 carbs made 835 hp thats 2.10 per inch on the buick. Now take the manifold off and put a cast manifold single 4 on it How much power do you think he will lose by doing this??? A hell of a lot more than .10 per inch I can promise you that.
Speaking of affordability. Whats the $100.00 membership fee for? Whats it going to be used for exactly? Are you buying scales? or other equipment? Going to a points fund?

>when you come up with rules it helps if you engage your brain before running your mouth. Never thought a guy with a GED would get it either. Does your manager at McDonalds know you are on his computer? Yes I want fries with that.

If you cannot win at SG how would you expect them to do any math? Hell I heard thru the grapevine they wanted to add weight to sml blks!!!
Yes, I would haved loved to been at the meeting. Seems like alot of time went down before a last minute notice. WE do not all live in the Houston area. Maybe change your name to the Houston Ex S. Gassers might be more fitting!! I don't know how many times i read about a car count, yall must have plenty the way the flies are leaving. DO YOU THINK YOU MAY POSSIBLY NEED THEM? I WONDER IF THEY WOULD RETURN?

[> Re: do the math!!!!!Hey teach ; as for the $100.00 membership fee , you'll be real proud of me, I did some calculatons and if these 2 guys that are starting TPSA out of there pockets get 30 members thats $3000.00 and if you take all there expences (web site,purse$ for races ETC.) I'll bet these guys are gonna leave the country with all the extra money? Maybe you should have been at the meeting!!! -- Mathematician, 10:40:23 09/24/02 Tue [1]
