I have a 2021 Super Stock. Would a hellephant engine be a bolt up? would the driveline hold up? Is it safe and or possible? Always gotta have more.............
I can’t answer your question and I’m sure others will chime in. However, why would you want to? I’ll be over the Hellephant’s numbers with far less cost into my stock motor.
It's been done, I'd go online and look up the modification vids and hit up the guys that did it. From the point of pure ridiculous power I am assuming you are installing a supercharger or a couple of turbos? Looking at 1200HP?
I just thought that tuning to get more HP would put a strain on the engine as it seems that adding 200-400- more HP on the present SS engine wouldn't hold up long. Thanks for the insight, I will look deeper into tuning aspect, and thank you guys for your response. Peter
To be fair, I don't fully expect any 1,000hp engine to last very long without maintenance. This is likely why you won't see one go into a production vehicle as nobody in their right mind would warranty a pushrod car with 1,000hp+.
Me Me Me!!
Who would of thought a Demon with 840hp for the track with a bumper to bumper warranty?
My Buick Grand National puts out gobs of power, and would hurt 99.99% of feelings of cars on here, but damn that sumbitch breaks a lot.
Last time turned the boost up 3 more pounds and the crank said "Umm, I am done, I think we need to go our separate ways."
As an engineer, you give engineers far too much credit Go watch that impossible baking challenge show on Netflix where they team a baker and an engineer to make crazy things. Note how many engineers can't figure out how to make a simple functional pulley. And, one of the worst ones was a NASA aeronautics engineer. Poor girl, I don't think she ever made anything that worked.
