Dyno-gasm Videos: Watch A 400ci V8 AND A 500ci V8 Both Spin To 10,000 RPM — Indescribable Sounds!!!


Dyno-gasm Videos: Watch A 400ci V8 AND A 500ci V8 Both Spin To 10,000 RPM — Indescribable Sounds!!!

When most normal people think of angels playing trumpets in the heavens they picture symphonic, musical noises. On the other hand, we picture the sounds generated by the two engines featured in the videos below, which wail and scream in ways that have us trying to think about baseball and Betty White to kill the anatomical side effects. Pants tent. There we said it.

These two videos were made at Book Racing Enterprises where Bob Book has been one of the great drag racing engine and carb gurus for a long, long time. From pro stock engines all the way to sportsman stuff, Book has a long standing reputation as a very high quality machinist and engine builder. His carbs have been one of the defacto choices for racers in pro stock, nitrous pro mod, comp eliminator and others. Long story short, the dude is very well known in drag racing circles and this video is further proof of why.

The two engines below are completely different beasts. The first is a 500ci mill that is going to be powering an A/Dragster entry in Competition Eliminator at NHRA events. This engine is based off of a 5″ bore spacing billet DRCE II (Drag Race Competition Engine) block. It clips 9,800 rpm on this pull and at makes peak hp of 1,431 at that stratospheric level. Torque is over 800 lb/ft at over 8,000 RPM. OOGA BOOGA!

The second engine is a 400″ Chevrolet that will power a pro stock car in Australia. As you can see on the screen, this engine does go over 10,000 RPM during the pull and it makes over 1100hp at peak. Also naturally aspirated, torque is damned close to 700 lb/ft at peak. We knew this pull was going to rule when we saw the engine idling at like three grand. It rip saws up to 10K no problemo!

PRESS PLAY ON THE VIDEOS BELOW TO SEE TWO ABSOLUTELY BREATH TAKING HIGH RPM DYNO PULLS!

500-inch engine first and 400-inch engine second

    That 400″ Chevy would be killer in a sreet car! Sound is pure evil. Small cube Comp engines have a sound of there own that I never get tired of hearing.

    Wish I had a video of when they were testing Jesels new Valve train parts on the dyno with a Buick Head 2XX Cubic Inch SBC. Thing was held at 12,000RPM until the crank broke but no vale train problems. That was back in the late 80’s before video cams 🙁
