“Nitro” Bob Gilbertston’s Autolite-XP Fuel Funny Car team tested and assortment of different Camshafts and Super Chargers for the 2006 season. Best observed Horsepower was at 8,400 RPM. Running on Alcohol 1,595 HP @ 8,400 RPM on 85% Nitromethane is over 6,000 HP. The team plans to return to the 10,000 RPM, Inc. Dyno in November.

10,000 RPM, Inc. manufactures Large Hydraulic Engine Dynamometer Power Absorption units capable of handling everything from your basic race engine to Blown Nitro Top Fuel engines. The 11,000’s design features a Closed Loop System with 100% Repeat Ability, pull after pull. This Closed Loop system offers more consistent loads by reusing the same load water that is then cooled by a heat exchanger.

With a 10,000 RPM, Inc. 11,000 Power Absorption Dyno is good from 200 HP to over 6,500 HP. For accurate repeat ability a Large Engine Dyno is mandatory for R&D work with today’s race teams.
