During a visit to Pro Motor Engines in Mooresville, NC, we were fortunate to line up our time at the engine shop while one of Clay Millican's Top Fuel Hemi engines was in for machine work and a rebuild. PME Owner Dennis Borem walked us through the details of this 12,000 HP Top Fuel engine for Rick Ware Racing, and it's our Engine of the Week brought to you by ‪@penngrade1motoroil830‬, ‪@elringdasoriginal‬and NPW Companies.

Great Episode!!! Dennis and PME Let’s Go!!!

It's amazing how this went from the drawing board in late 1963 to one of the baddest engines on the planet still being used in 2023.

I would say the most down to earth big name driver. I’ve had the opportunity to talk to him a few times at the races. But also on his RU-vid channel he will respond to 90 % of his comments

John Force is the Baddest Dude in Drag Racing ! If Bob Glidden was still with us he'd be the Baddest Dude in Drag Racing ! Bob will always be #1 in my book.

@hommie789 7 месяцев назад

And a huge thank you for actually calling it an engine instead of a "motor" which is a huge bone of contention for me. people intertwine the two but the terms are different for a reason so thank you for being professional.

@justins21482 7 месяцев назад

if only I had the money to build an engine of this caliber but with say half the hp for theoretically twice or more lifespan. Id be happy with a bulletproof 3000hp LOL and yes I realize that is closer to 1/3rd the hp of a full tilt boogie top fuel motor. what i would love to see is an unlimited category of top fuel where you can go as big as you want with cubic inches. imagine what a 1000c.i. engine could produce under the same criteria.

These share nothing design wise with a Chrysler hemi beside having a hemispherical chamber 🤷🏻‍♂️. Lots of engines had hemi chambers before Chrysler did.

It's really more of a break-in since the engine has typically just been put back together.

@nielsreiziger4850 7 месяцев назад

I assume a belt drive, whenever I see high-end pushrod V8's they make use of a belt instead of a chain. from what I know is that belt are far stronger under high rpm and horsepower.

Correct. Just a slip up on that number.

@zcookie9272 6 месяцев назад

I still honestly don't think. It makes 12,000hp maybe 5 to 6 at most. Guy with a 4000hp promod is almost a second behind a top fuel car.

@TechnikMeister2 7 месяцев назад

The 12,000hp figure quoted by top fuel dragster engine builders has now finally been debunked. Up to recently no dyno was available that could measure these engines power because 1. They are not robust enough, and 2. the engines only produce their power for a max of 6 seconds. It requires a dyno pull of 15 seconds to take a measurement. So the 12,000 is just a maths equation based on fuel consumed. Now, someone has hooked up their dragster hemi engine to the dyno at GM Diesel, and quess what the real number was? 4250hp at 7000rpm. So now you know.

@paulronan6770 7 месяцев назад

Let’s get some facts straight. That number you got would match up with a top alcohol car. Those run alcohol and in the ball park of 4k horsepower like you said. Top fuel cars run nitromethane and make 12000 horsepower. Also the reason why does motors are one and done since that fuel destroys motors. 4k horsepower must have been a alcohol car and you got mistaken. Top fuel cars guaranteed make over 10k horsepower. 4k horsepower for top fuel car is bullshit, plenty of pro mods making more.

@wildmanturner 7 месяцев назад

Drag racing is a huge waste of somebody’s money. Wasting a lot of engine parts for no good reason. It’s just like burning a couple hundred grand every 4 seconds you run an engine.
