During our brute HP tuneup Saturday the sled lost fuel pressure (fuel
leak at electric pump) and detonated the turbo Price 1000cc Mach Z
triple, but before we stopped we made 308 HP at less than 10 psi boost.
He will be back with freshened up engine, looking for 350+ HP.
Interesting note–the engine had Swaintech coated pistons, we ate three
sparkplugs but the engine showed no signs of seizure–no
scratches on cylinder walls. But to play it safe, turbo and engine will
be examined and freshened up if necessary and then back later to finish
dyno tuning.
Monday 8/15 Bender Racing is bringing a new RX1 turbo drag sled to dyno
tune for Chuck Hamrah. Expecting 350+HP maybe 400? The sled is coming
at 8:30AM EST it will take about one hour to set up for dyno tuning.
Dyno runs should begin at about 9:30 or so, watch your dynocams to see
if DTR HP record is broken.
