Please don’t perpetuate the 500hp myth. Excellent job by the way. The way the centrifugal makes boost is why it can handle much more. Now 600 plus torque at low rpm with a turbo, might be a different deal.

I mean... the block is in one piece. I think we're doing more to dispel the myth than perpetuate it. But wives tale or not, I've seen broken blocks, and I don't want to put the stock block in the car at 800-plus horsepower. Running the risk of splitting a block on the dyno is one thing; doing it in the car is a whole different proposition.

The outfit is so on point! LOL The video is great too.

80's Greg with no hat - here for that AND the engine!!

Wow. Thats a great power curve

Awesome build series…👍🏼

Unbelievable……great test!

Its amazing what some stock block will take while others split. I've seen an 850hp stock block survive hundreds of trips down the 1/4 and a 450hp stock blocj die on its 3rd run. I'd really like to see a 100% bone stock bottom end see what it could do. Oem grade bearings, stock bolts, etc.

Definitely was a nail biter as to whether it would stay together or not.

The e85's combustion stability allows the engine block to survive at that power level Pump gas is harder on components even at lower power levels due to less combustion stability characteristics

​@WienerSnitzel337 was it 600 to the wheels? Also it's easier to push more from a turbo on any engine vs a supercharger. It won't see as much stress at xxx power level as it would w a blower at same power level.. people generally push engines to higher hp numbers on average on stock block and stock bottom end stuff with turbos vs blowers from what I've seen. Also being on really good fuel helps. So turbo and e85 is the safest way to make the most hp aka it's more likely to stay together at higher power levels.

No way thats insane

Awesomeness!!!! 🇺🇸💪🏼

That engine will produce that power comfortably on an engine dyno. That same engine with a strong clutch and some good traction will rattle it apart

What was the timing at during this?

Subscribed and following along, actually helping a friend who just built basically the same motor for his 91 fox with the exception of TFS intake and instead of a supercharger it’s got an on3 turbo kit, wondering what your idling @ cause I noticed in your last video it was around 1100 and funny enough my friends car is around the same with 60lbs deka injectors.

We never really played with the idle settings too much on the dyno other than getting the IAC dialed in, because we were short for time in each session. I feel like we could probably get a decent idle out of this combo. Looking at the new cam specs for Version 2... not so much. LOL

Now, when you talk about a split block, im assumimg you mean a 1980s rollor 5.0 and not a classic 302.. yes, they both are 302 cid, but ones known as the rollor 5.0 (the block that splits) and the other being just a 302. The 302 blocks are very strong.. the 5.0 rollor block is not so strong, supposedly.

Mate for sure your statement is true, but the blocks just don't have the correct amount of iron under the main bearing sadles continuing up into the cam tunnel, adding 3.00" neutral balanced forged crank with 5.4" rod would be heaps better, also I wonder about using crappy main bolts instead of ARP studs seams to help, as letting the bolt flex and the cap walk slightly is better than a rigid main studs pull the block apart

Have to think about it, its designed to be a 200hp engine so even at 500hp you are double the required specs. As with all stock parts, some might do 10x design while others give it up at 1.5x design.

when the block splits between the cam and the crank how do you fix that

@EngineLabs

Get a new block.

The stock block will not split at or after 500. Long-standing heavily depends on the tune, baseline use. If your making rips every traffic light vs twice a month at the track. Miller proved this over period of three seasons and being the fastest stock block 5.0 to date.

Was it converted to maf? Unless a CA car, 88 was speed density, which makes adding a cam tough. Could do basic tune W/O a chip, set base timing, and adjust fuel pressure, but may need a c&l maf for 24#. confirm you have the right ecu
