4 digit horsepower possible with dove heads?

Barney wrote:At 3085# and 151 in the 1/4 my stock cast piston, truck rod shortblock was making around 830 to the wheels. That motor was a D9 block, stock everything w/ D0VE heads that were Max ported. Big shot plate 110N jet. It never hurt anything, in fact I sold that motor this fall and its still kickin. It can be done. Whether or not it should is another question.

I agree, it can be done. But like was stated above, "everything has to be right". I did a 466 on a D9 block, with stock rods, coated hypers, and stage II ported D3's, a 8012 Stealth intake and an 850 Holley. In my '86 F150 super cab, @ 5600 lbs., it would run 108 mph in the 1/8 on a 200 shot.

Man I have sprayed my share of nitrous but I believe I would be real concerned if I was going to spray 400+ on stock rods and crank and then turn it like you would need to if you want to see 1000. I was probably making that number with a stock block but I have an aftermarket crank and rods and had a girdle on the block. I also had two systems. Let me know how this turns out.

The big end of the rods are really going to hate you

HOW DID THIS GO FOR YOU?
