Love that Corn Fuel- and I love Todd Knighton as well; he is truly an Engineering Wizard!

TTDude- Since you are running alpha3076s you dont have an external waste gates correct? I know proto uses a fenderwell intake kit, but do you have blow off valves on the Y-pipe? I didnt even know that power was possible with the Alpha set up!
Hi Salerno, Wastegates on Alpha's are internal. BOVs are modded to the ICs with Proto kit. I was thinking 800 whp, not attempting to break any records. Honestly, I had no idea. We usually don't throw around numbers like these but I trust Todd 100% so it's just getting used to playing in that ballbark.

Good question. I don't know. Maybe others who are more experienced can chime in. Are you getting close to lighting up your flex fuel beast?

When is the last time you heard of a Protomotive motor going bad?

GT RUS Oct 7, 2011 07:40 AM
NEVER...but you will never hear this on forums...If it will last then it would be GREAT...this car makes serious power

Neil Switzer Oct 7, 2011 07:44 AM
That is serious power Dave, congrats!

Being a dynapack, it is sorta in a league of it's own because it measures the power at the axles with no additional rotating mass such as wheels, tire slippage, so in that respect it is likely more consistent. Not sure I could give a blanket conversion percentage for what your car would make on a mustang or a dynojet or the like.

983rwhp on stock rods and pistons...:eek:

Please correct me if I'm wrong, that has to be a stock piston/rod record isn't it?

Pretty sure ^^Neil's Sledgehammer put down more power on stock internals.
