This Video Of A 3,000hp Pro Mod Motor Making A Dyno Pull Is AWESOME


This Video Of A 3,000hp Pro Mod Motor Making A Dyno Pull Is AWESOME

Danny Rowe Racing posted a video to their Facebook page yesterday showing Jimmy Rector, the team’s crew chief and long time builder of insanely powerful alcohol motors pulling one of the team’s pro mod engines on the dyno. This is a mill that makes roughly 3,000 hp. It may be 2800 or it may be 3200, who knows and who the hell cares? You will hear this engine fire up and then essentially make a “run”. The pul lasts a few seconds but in that time the 526ci hemi gets spun to AT LEAST 10,000 RPM, probably more. As the nitro teams begin their pre-season testing in Florida this week, other teams in other classes will be getting their collective shows on the road soon as well. Rowe has a little while before the first NHRA Pro Mod series event in Gainesville, Florida but we can promise you he and the team are already getting test dates lined up for this spring. Rowe is sponsored by Agave Underground Tequila and if you remember from our coverage of the 2013 PRI show, he’ll be joined in a second car driven by Aeromotive’s Steve Matusek for the 2014 campaign.

Jimmy Rector has been a terror with alky engines for a long, long time. The guys kicked ass in IHRA alcohol funny car for years as a driver and tuner and then focused his efforts primarily on the tuning and engine building side of the equation. We have seen him turn the screws on a lot of cars over the years and never once have those machines been down on power. Rector is also an intensely passionate guy and he’s not one to shy away from sharing his emotions when things go well or when they go…not so well. Let’s just say we have seen him in “spirited discussions” with drivers, car owners, and others over the years. That’s not a bad thing, kids. For guys to succeed at this level they need to be fully invested in what they are doing and with that comes intensity. If they could bottle that, this engine would make 6,000hp!

Anyway, this may be the most powerful engine we have ever showed on a dyno here at BangShift. The sound is incredible and the RPMs are stratospheric! We bet the neighbors headed for the bomb shelter when they heard this monster running!
