WEIGHT vs HORSEPOWER

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

Bronson made his name a few years ago, outrunning those limiteds(550-600hp) with his 604! fact!

People still underestimate the power of corner speed.

I'm not a racer,but here are the numbers.Built many of each,so numbers are real.
Raised runner steelhead-685hp @2400#
Standard runner Mullins steel head-632hp@ 2300#
Standard runner Brodix Track 1 aluminum head-649hp @ 2300#
Don' t need a lot of variables thrown in,just make a choice.All on same tire,all same ci, same carb.

On a 50lap slick track, ill take Kyle Bronson and his 604! (not because ima fan)

[Mopar DLM]

count me in for #3

[perfconn]

Word of caution.If you walked into engine shop & these 3 engines were setting there,all were new & all were the same price,if you had local tracks that did not allow the aluminum head,,then your choice might change.I am asking you to make a choice where these were all legal.
Now for zero25.If there were 3 foot ditches every 10 foot I would take Jimmy Owens on a tricycle.

Dan schlieper for the win on that one, He's probably the best I ever seen on bad rough tracks.

all three have enough hp , but with three identical cars on same track and same driver , its a no brainer , #3 every time for me....its hard to beat eliminating noes weight.....

That’s pretty much limited rules around us, with all aluminum “525” as 4th option.
525 wins 98% of the time

In the topless outlaw series last year that has all those engine options,the 525's didn't win a single race.

What does the 525 have to weigh? How much weight goes in front of the midplate?

[perfconn]

WEIGHT
• 2250 lbs -604/602/ Flat Tappet Sportsman Engine
• 2300 lbs -Standard runner heads (Steel and Aluminum)
• 2400 lbs -Raised runner Steelheads
• 2350 lbs -CT 525 Crate

• CT 525 MUST have 50 lbs in front of bell housing

The thing that hurts the 525 (IMO) is usable RPM not being able to turn more the 7K sort of hurts the torque multiplication from a tall gear to keep rpm in check.
