Looks Fast.

N/A huh? That is badass! So what is that HP wise? What is that plate like thing between the carbs and Lower intake runners?

 

[NotSoSlowSHO]

Looks to be a plate that seals the intake off from the engine compartment.

Awesome!!! :woohoo:

 

[Shoaz]

I love that intake!

Evidently it's no mistake that the hi-po n/a SHO motors have custom intakes.

 

[Off Road SHO]

What's that! Are those GM coils and a crank trigger wheel? Don't tell me he's using something besides the Tweeker? That in itself will get you thrown off the Forum.

Absolutely. And with the speed that the car runs with that scoop, I'm sure it's building a bit of boost.

With no injectors there's not much left for the 'puter to do other than ignition timing, which your astute observation has ruled out as a problem, too.

Things get a lot simpler when it's only gotta do one thing well...

 

[SeanMc]

Sucks he wasn't there when I was there

 

[SuperHO]

That's just disturbing....and by God, I think I may be pitching a tent.

On that same page you'll see this:

CAR#: 1147 NAME/ORGANIZATION: J&K Racing DRIVER:Ernest Groce CLASS: F/Pro RECORD: 167.158 SPEED 1/4 mile: 145.37513mph SPEED First Mile: 146.65307 SPEED Middle Mile: SPEED Final Mile: SPEED Exit Trap:

He was having power issues after the 1/4 so he turned out at the first mile.

BTW - The LLSHOC guys should note that the home of the "Yellow Submarine" is located in the DFW area. It is in Krum, TX to be exact. You guys should try to plan a meet that features a visit to this car.

Props to this guy with this build , he had the balls to ditch the intake to make it better.

 

[JEM]

I'm still hoping someone else tries out independent-runner induction on a street SHO motor so that I don't have to be the first...

BTW anyone else recognize that carburetor? It's not exactly a common item...

That looks to be an Electromotive crank triggered setup - the favorite of racers everywhere.

This is what happens when you don't have an Electromotive...

Not sure. Tracer Racing out of SoCal has a lakester that recently hit 250mph with a carb'd SHO motor. They also hold the record for modified roadster with a carb'd SHO motor of ~172.

1slickred89 did that on his car. He said it pulled a lot better up top. he was a turbo ATX.

Well, I'm ditching the intake but it will be replaced with a machined plenum that will accept a variety of blowers and turbo's.

One of our issues is that the two heads on the Yamaha are not exactly spaced the same from motor to motor.


The SHO intake is excellent for NA applications in a street car, but once you go FI, it becomes a restriction to the airflow that the heads can handle.
