For a little comparison...
A Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 makes 700 HP from it's 396CI V12 and the car weighs 3500lbs.
It's power to weight ratio is 0.2 HP for every lb. Which is about the same as most modern 450cc dirtbikes.
A 2014 Suzuki Hyabusa is .289
A USAC Sprint car .571
A 1500 horsepower K boat weighing in at 2200 pounds comes in at .682
Top fuel hydro weighing 3300 pounds with horsepower at 8000= 2.42
A 4 door Prius wagon comes in at 134 hp and weighs 3340= .04 hp for every lb.

I RE-read your post after estimating my tub at 2000 lbs and 600HP and the figure keeps going down the more I think about it... Originally Posted by Sharp shooter

WIth iron heads I'm guessing my engine outweighs your BBC even with you sporting the blower/drive/hat/plate system/rigging, IDK...
I think I need to estimate at LEAST 2200 lbs if not more... You are the YODA master on light/heavy layup - weights...
GUessing my engine is around 550HP based on it pushing my 64 galaxie to 11 flat (on street meat)...
SHould put me about .25HP/lb... BUT I keep raising the weight and lowering my HP...
My mill needs at LEAST 100 more cubic inches to make use of the CJ heads... Should be interesting to see how quickly I get bored with this set up in a month or so...Last edited by 2manymustangs; 04-20-2015 at 10:09 AM.
