speed demon 7 Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Richard, you are allowed a 300 lift cam messured at the cam. With a 1.5 rocker, it is a 450 lift. Use 1.6 and its 488. My motor has $1800 in it and it is pretty strong. The HP difference is very little. Yes, the crate motor is better, but a non crate can win. As for Money wins. I know a 450 lift motor from Dee Fox costs $4500 and would out power the crate. Since the crate cost $3000, or $1500 used, I think it is a better option. Now, you get a motor out of a wrecked pickup for $100 and put a cam in it, you can't expect it to run as good as a race motor. In a pure stock on dirt, it is one thing, but on asphalt, where we have traction, it does require some horsepower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speed demon 7 Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 nothing the same between a street motor and a race motor. Stock motors come with a 400 lift cam, we run a 450 cam. Yeah, it is a stock class, but there is nothing stock about it. We run 6000 RPM for long periods of time, stock motors run 2500 for long periods. I will be running HMP again this year, hope you do too. We had differences this past year, but it was definately a fun season. Tell Sr. to call me, I have something for him.

Outlaw #03 Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Dollar per horse power you CAN'T beat the crate motor. There's no "ifs" "ands" or "buts" about it. I chose to go with a "rules" motor rather than the crate because I can take that motor anywhere and run, but I spent more on it than you would for a new crate that was my choice. We're in the process of building my brother a car and will more than likely go with a crate. $1500 bucks for race ready motor is hard to beat... I have more than that in parts for my motor and I think I'm making about the same power as a crate...maybe a little more .
