JP magazine Insane Inline #2

[Plechtan]

Just got the Nov JP magazine, They have a short article on their new "Insane inline" They claim they dynoed it @ 558hp Turbo, 30 lbs of boost.
the article reads like a ad for 505 performance.

They claim 298 CFM of flow with a 2" intake valve. The cam looks pretty mild and really not that much lift.

It would be great if you could buy a 500 hp crate engine. Lots of details missing

Those numbers don't even seem right. That much boost should generate a bit more HP than that!

Did anyone else notice their comment about rocker arm ratio?

Could anyone scan this article and send it? I live in Europe, though I have no possibility to buy one...

Gee, lets see, 5K for a turbo kit, $2,500.00 for a stroker kit, 1 head with chevy valves ported and polished $1,500.00, Rockers $600.00 Aftermarket ECu system $2,000.00, dyno tuning $1,000.00, various machine work, gaskets etc $1,500.00, special cam and lifters $1,500.00 Etc. So for the small price of about $15,000 you can have one of these too.

I don't think Turbo Tom spent even half that.

They should call this the special 505 edition of JP, they have another article in the mag on a turbo for the 4 banger.

What's the deal with 505 anyways? They made a brief appearance a while back and then..nothing.....

We ask questions and they don't answer. Then they end up in JP with this outlandish build.

Sounds fishy to me...

30lbs should make 750hp.
I made 450hp at 13lbs @ $2500. on 4.0 liters
Flat tappet cam, stock rockers and push rods

Some body want to give me $6000 or my engine and ECU?????

Tom,

What transmission are you using? 998? 727?

[TurboTom]

904 Tranny

[Plechtan]

Got some info on the dyno numbers, 19 lbs of boost, hp in the 675-700hp range and a little more than 750ftlbs of torque. I, looking foward to the next issue where hopefully we will get more details of the build.

[TurboTom]

Sounds like I better turn the boost up!!

So you keep it at 10#s to be on the safe side, but had it at 13# at one time?
