Re: Flathead Dragster
Buy a barrel of Nitromethane. Install a bigger fuel pump and larger hoses and lines. Install larger nozzles everywhere. Separate the center exhausts so it is a true 4 port.(no coolant can be used) Be ready for higher maintenance but MUCH faster runs.

Re: Flathead Dragster
It should be pretty easy to figure how much horsepower that flatty is putting out. Any estimates? Rich

Re: Flathead Dragster
Yes it's been covered before but still cool to watch. Here is a link to a brief history from the run and dragster 2yrs ago.

Re: Flathead Dragster
Horsepower? Probably an honest 700, just to use a round number. Getting a closer number without knowing more about weight and potential losses is difficult.
