All The Horsepower: Watch The 9.8L Whipple Blown SMX Powered Drag and Drive Porsche Of Danny Humphreys Make 2,600+ Hp
Think about dwelling in a world the place a avenue pushed automotive could be outfitted with a 9.8L Whipple blower, vertical injector, unimaginable water block SMX engine and make 2,600hp to the wheel on a simple tune up. Really you should not have to think about it as a result of that is all taking place actual time. The Porsche of Danny Humphreys generally known as “Tremendous Shark” is primed and able to tackle the meanest, nastiest, drag and drive machines on this planet the quaint manner. Sort of.
See, the favored strategy lately is clearly massive turbochargers on a giant motor. They’re pleasant to the road driving portion of drag and drive occasions, make seemingly limitless energy, and since they’re “frequent” the proverbial math has already been achieved on making them work. Thank God for guys like Humphreys who need to do issues their very own manner. On this case he has this unimaginable engine with all of the blower on it, EFI, and whereas making some 2,600hp plus on the dyno it actually isn’t beginning to work but. As you’ll hear Steve Morris speak about, they’re nonetheless heavy on gas within the higher RPM vary so with extra tweaking, tuning, dyno work, and progressively leaning this factor out, 3,000hp on the wheels just isn’t solely real looking, it could be below capturing the potential of the combo.
Humphreys was a ten.5 tire racer for years and like so many has been chomped on by the entire mystique of drag and drive. We’re all the higher for it.
Hopefully we see this monster on Drag Week this yr. Watching the automotive cruise down the freeway with the nutty vertical injector might be a second cool sufficient to deliver us to gearhead tears. The video is nice and actually walks by way of the combo and the tuning strategy. 10/10 would suggest.
