sweet...the rush is unreal...there is no time to focus on anything...your just squeezing the sled with your legs..and hanging on along for the ride...then the sound of that monster approaching 9-10 grand......is why i am hooked since my first radar run 3 yrs ago...

 

Agreed,highly awesome

 

My big triple runs 10,000 at max.Its a full DNE 925 and is set up for lake running usually 1 mile plus.Love eating those Yammi and Cat crates

 

sc4me what pipes are you running ????? 1 mile plus at 10,000 rpm ????????

 

it is a adrenaline rush

 

Fun aren't they !!! Most ps1000's are running 5.2's some 5 teens !!! That's flyin , get her to hook and she will go much better probably ...

 

Sled is stout. However, don't let off didn't tell ya about the track !!!!

100' of ice and then 560'of hardpack !

 

Yea I know there's more potential, I was more focused on staying alive, hanging on, and getting used to the sled and not really my et. It's not my sled but if I keep driving it each week, I would like to see a 5.6 this weekend and keep trying to improve.

Bad800, I'm not sure the potential of the 265hp build. I know the modern 1000's are pushing 280-85, stroker builds I'm sure more. Are these the ones running 5.2s? What do u think is an attainable goal, something to shoot for?

 

There are a few popular stroker combos but 265hp should have nonproblem running 5.3's I think but lots if factors ?

Who's sled were you running?
Was it an 809 base with a price performance top end? The reason I ask, is that I had the same set up rated at 265.

Pat Sicard owns the sled, and yea 809 base and price top end. It runs awesome.

 

most don't realize what these high powered machines are like...fingers hanging on for dear life...arms feeling like they will be pulled off. i am always asked by my tuner "what was the rpm's?...what were the egt's reading?". all i can say is "@#%& if i know!!!...i didn't have time to look". thank God for tach and computer memory!!

 

 

Its addicting to say the least! This season will make 17 years for Outlaw Lake Drag racing for me. Making a killer 660' pass never gets old!

 

Hi Z800 I run Jaws Pipes

 

265 hp is good power for a stroked 1000PS motor. Anything above 270 is very good. That is all my stuff has. 285 plus? Does someone actually say they make that kind of power? Peter

 

Peter,

I thought I remember reading a topic last year, that a couple guys were making stroker builds with 285, If I remember right it was a guy with the name of iceman700 or something. I will try to find the post because now you have me doubting my memory, perhaps a few too many new years drinks.

Also I was talking to Landon Benoit last spring and he told me his new 1000 builds are making 280+ on dyno. Again I will try to find the post and see what I can find. I believe sleeper7 started the post and the topic was titled benoit power?

 

here is the topic talking about the HP these make.

benoit power

 

Wow. I guess we are just behind the times.

 

I think I'm fine with the 265! I just smile thinking about the initial burst!

 

One thing to remember is that all dynos are not created (ie:calibrated) equal. Put some of this really good motors on certain dynos and get an instant 10+HP tune up.. Forget comparing the numbers and judge based on how they run.

My motor was 264hp on Landons dyno, which we found to be very conservative. The sled went 145.950 in a 1000 feet. Last year it was updated and made 283hp on the same dyno. It promptly went out and ran 149mph in 1000ft. after we got the chassis right. We have not clutched or geared it as it took all last year to get the chassis right. So we will see what happens this year. Hoping for low 150's in 1000ft. Here are some data specs on the runs

21ft to roll it out and get throttle open
1.68 60ft
123mph 500ft
5.45 660
132mph 660
7.43 sec 1000ft
149mph 1000ft

 

Nice specs man! Benoit built your motor? Are you iceman700? I feel I was seeing the same pics of the same prostockers from you and iceman700? Anyways, looks like you got it flying. you must have that thing lightened up nicely. Now why the 21ft to roll it out? Guessing perhaps you have a shorter skid to carry more top speed on the big end, so you need to roll it out so it doesn't lift? I know I just smashed the gas! haha

 

exactly what someone said earlier, $%#@ the rpms or egts im too busy hanging on.. this summer i bought a motor from a friend of mine a polaris htg 1000 that dynoed 317 on spray. im going back to make 340 hp on spray.... on motor its around 235. things an animal with me on it...all light weight front end... basically its a prostock 1000 with spray.... cant wait to tag the button and see what shes got

 

Im iceman700's kid. Yup same sleds. 1000 Pro weighs 405lbs, dad weighs 200 with gear and we put 20lbs lead in nose. Dad says we have to roll it out to make sure it is hooked and pointed straight. Actually went 7.23 seconds in 1000ft. Says it beats him to death....lol. 800 Pro is the light one. 377lbs

 

They run 4 9 to 52 now
