I was just reading about Carl Edwards on this site and he claims 900 hp and 200 mph...
I got no problem with the speed but 900 hp ? How many cubes 348 ? or there abouts,
pushrods ,2 valves per cyl burning gasoline and turning 9000 rpm with a small 4 barrel ?
I not saying they are not but I've built some very hot big blocks ( not with those heads though ) and they didn't make 900 hp... Just curious that's all ]]> Is Nascar headed towards 4 cylinders?

Ford or Toyota, possibly Honda or some other foreign engine builder will continue to fill the void with V8's.
Will Fiat fill the void with Ferrari V8 in Nascar? Could we see Ferrari's running in Nascar? ]]> vacuum pump tag:speedtv.com,2009:forums/viewthread/.426153 2009-04-15T07:25:21Z BigMan88 Tony Stewart’s weight an advantage? tag:speedtv.com,2009:forums/viewthread/.460766 2009-07-14T02:28:08Z Clubkid Romeo Windows?? tag:speedtv.com,2009:forums/viewthread/.466586 2009-08-24T21:45:11Z Lisa Rogers crankshaft bearings tag:speedtv.com,2009:forums/viewthread/.440773 2009-04-30T20:47:04Z BigMan88 Is Nascar really stock car racing? tag:speedtv.com,2009:forums/viewthread/.460110 2009-07-09T11:04:07Z Ayrsen before the race tag:speedtv.com,2009:forums/viewthread/.465388 2009-08-16T09:30:29Z dusie74 The “Grass” Comment tag:speedtv.com,2009:forums/viewthread/.464260 2009-08-07T11:34:09Z JDeee
I remember debating this years ago with a well know eastern motorsports writer on Compuserve after Buddy Baker said the same thing (believe he was talking about Daytona before they took out the grass between turn 4 and the pits.)

I know it's silly, but the only way a car would accelerate on grass (or ice, or mud, or water) is if the driver is on the gas with the car pointed in a forward direction. ]]> Are onboard telemetry readouts really just based on sound? tag:speedtv.com,2009:forums/viewthread/.464276 2009-08-07T12:33:25Z Sandeep_Banerje
