Just shows how good the holden engine is. And as far as fuel is concerned, when looking at the fuel rating specifically for racing, MON is the rating to go for, as it is more precise, RON gives a higher number, which makes it inaccurate. That's why VP Racing fuel recommend to follow the MON rating of fuel, as it is more precise..... Quote: VP uses MON because this test method more accurately simulates racing conditions. The conditions under which fuels are tested using the RON method are not as demanding, thus the number is normally higher than the MON rating. This leads many other fuel companies to rate their fuels using the RON in an effort to make them appear more resistant to detonation. Don't be fooled by high RON numbers or an average -- MONs are the most relevant ratings for a racing application. Be aware, however, the ability of fuel to resist detonation is a function of more than just octane. In saying that, the fuel supposedly run in a couple of cars, Sunoco Max Nos is rated at 113MON, whereas VP C16 is 117MON. Imagine if they used C16, would be able to crank more boost, and more power Or you can go for the VP NO2, which has 120MON.....now that's some decent octane!

yeah TRYHRD is 427-lsx engine and was running on 34psi when he made 1895hp

brett waines VH is Farken awsome and same as eddy tassones VH they so need restricions back in the HP heros or they should have 2 classes one pump fuel and restricted cubes and the other an open class but hey thats just my opinion :-)

eddy tasonie wanted more rules when it came to cooling air to air water to air diff classes for these groups

craigs car only got finished days before it left for summernats we put the trim into it on the 27th and the motor was "still" not ready the car only got a couple of hours on the dyno for tuning and made 1400hp they were still tuning it at the nats theres more to come as it can take 50psi we think the clutch was sliping and the final runs and its running a t56 there is also an auto that is for the strip when the car first got finished a couple of years ago craig was driving it around useing a tank a day and did like 1000km in a couple of weeks the gold car and the commodore ute are **** cause the use dry ice and cost $600 every time its on the dyno craigs car is fully contained in the car unlike alot of the others i was carrying the fuel container and it had Sunoco on the front cant remember what brand il find out lsx is what its running now

fill me in more on the lsx engine.. i dont really no anything about them.. the ute runs a chev block Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

the lsx block and other engine parts are developed by GM performance parts, awsome blocks, what ill be runngin in my car.. shaun

there good for 2000hp with nos i think they have 6 head bolts per cylinder with 6 bolt mains and heaps more meat on the block but dont qoute me on that

Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

im not sure 100% just read thought the block is a chevy block because more extreme horsepower parts for them so thats why it was used. and devoloped better..

all 3 hpf cars use sunoco race fuels, they sell it

i think the ute runs an lsx and the gold vx runs a 400ci chev craig has had a lot of problems with the crank fitting and other part being wrong but i also think there was a conflict of interest with craigs car going to summernats as 2 engines were to be built and should have been built by mid year, he was never aware of the ute being built either, craig doesnt get all his **** put together at hpf anymore they only do the tune and engine build we got in trouble when craig did a skid as we were about to load up the truck and the security yelled at him and ripped 1 of his stickers off and we gave him heaps next minute 10 security came down wanting the other sticker left on the car and all our arm bands and i told them to get ****ed i didnt do the skid they took craigs arm band and asked us to leave they were real ****s about it too

oxygen content has alot to do with how much the fuel makes, I think you will find Sunoco nos supreme makes more power then c16 being proven so manytimes back to back, here and the u.s .

i new it was one way or the other
