[QUOTE="Bad Company, post: 15824138, member: 141815"] Can one of these engines produce over 750 RWHP on 93? Yes. Look at Shelby America with the SuperSnake with the 1000 Hp option and S-1000 cars. Now Shelby is rating this at flywheel Hp, so with a 15% power loss through the driveline that would net 850 RWHP. There are many factors into how this can be achieved. The two biggest in my mind will be coolant temperatures and cylinder pressures, along with what engine RPM they occur while producing peak torque and Hp. The tuner can play with both the timing and richness of the fuel mixture to combat detonation. The other thing that may have him concerned is when you swap between fuels. Depending on the race fuel you use it could carry extra oxygen. A blend of race fuel and pump gas could lend itself to creating a lean condition during the first fill of 93 pump gas if the race fuel is carrying extra oxygen in it. So he may want to limit the power for this too. [/QUOTE]
