Speedmaster takes on Nick Cannon’s Chevelle Project
Speedmaster takes on suppling Nick Cannon’s 1967 Chevelle with a Blown 496 cubic inch Big Block, equipped with an 871 supercharger. The engine was built and dyno tested in Rialto by the in-house assembly engineers. For optimum performance, it features forged 4340 internals and produces 750 horsepower reliably as a turnkey motor.
Testing Boost Theory on a Pair of LS Engines
One of the greatest inventions since the introduction of the internal combustion engine has to be boost. Nothing adds power to a combination like the introduction of some positive pressure, especially when it comes from an efficient twin-screw supercharger like the one we tested from Kenne Bell. Adding modest boost to your engine will transform even the wimpiest LS powerplant. Heck, even boosting a stock engine will offer serious gains, but the real power comes from the combination of boost and performance mods. The very best supercharged engines have something in common, they all started out as powerful naturally aspirated combinations. The more power your engine makes in naturally aspirated trim, the more power it will make under boost. What better way to illustrate our naturally aspirated/boost theory than with the application of boost to a pair of different LS powerplants?
Speedmaster Kids
Speedmaster supports the kids. The Speedmaster Super Street Racing team took time recently to visit a local Elementary School to show kids a little bit of what we do. Kids at the De Anza Elementary School in the San Gabriel Valley got to see the #11 Super Street Racing machine and asked questions about racing and Speedmaster. Kids were invited to sit in the car and put on a racing helmet and gloves for pictures. The #11 Racing Team look forward to making more visits at local car shows and schools to promote interest within the new generation of enthusiasts in both racing and performance automotive.
Dyno Tested Speedmasters 8V Intake System on a Gen III Hemi
The Dodge Hemi has a lot going for it, not the least of which is arguably the most recognizable name in automotive industry. The modern, fuel-injected Hemi has carried on the tradition of performance and the latest 6.4L, 392ci Hemi offers serious power numbers that are easily on par with any engine produced during the original muscle-car era. Toss in the reliability, fuel mileage, and low emissions, and it’s easy to see why the Gen III Hemi has such a loyal following.
