    master arm switch and a hand held starter on the super charger pully to rotate the engine. cool shit

    holy shit. i was looking up about them i found some cool stuff i didnt know about them but i still dont know how they start them up is it like a button or turn key?

  8. jfl187 say:

    yep, and they get …
    yep, and they get so hot and melted that the replace them every run. spark plug life for top fuel and funny cars is like 4 or 5 sec lol

  12. tfxbillet say:

    wrong answer, you …
    wrong answer, you obviously don’t know anything about JFR. Let me interpret that for you, that stands for john force racing. Do some research and you will indeed find that it is Ford hemi (not mopar hemi) power that they run, not tfx.

  13. foxjumper say:

    pure ford? Nothing …
    pure ford? Nothing in any of force’s motors are from ford. Everything is aftermarket stuff based on the 426 hemi mopar.

    Force runs TFX parts, Tasca here runs mostly BAE.

  14. 460ciford say:

    I hear that. They …
    I hear that. They deffinetly breath fire with that rediculas cam profile. It’s like the valves never close. Over 300 degrees of duration. Most engines would not even start they would have no compression. lol.I want one just to say I have one.

  15. bigmrclean say:

    Oh yeah..these …
    Oh yeah..these things have just gotten rediculous with the power. These things now have over and inch lift camshaft….25 years ago that was un heard of. They are defiantly amazing.

  16. 460ciford say:

    I know you sleeve …
    I know you sleeve aluminum blocks or you will chew up the cylinder walls. I dont know if these guys r aluminum. They may sleeve them to handle the high cylinder pressures. As for rpm I think they run between 8 and 9 thousand rpm. These r very dangerous motor…lol

  17. Z07Lucas say:

    9500 rpm is what …
    9500 rpm is what the limiter is mandated to, they can run less if they want. usually they barely get to it in 1000′.

  18. tfxbillet say:

    Ever heard of …
    Ever heard of JohnForce racing? All their funny car’s run the Ford Boss 500 top fuel engine. Yes it is pure Ford power not, Mopar.

  19. fool4Jesus52 say:

    I think it’s 8000 …
    I think it’s 8000 RPM. Not positive.

  20. TylerReifenberger5 say:

    i have woundered to …
    i have woundered to i would think cause of the power and speeds they pull i personaly would think about 10,000-15,000 but thats my personial opinion. but of course i could be on the high side.

  21. fengineer08 say:

    They do scream, but …
    They do scream, but they’re actually running around 8,000 rpms at WOT.

  22. pzpepsi say:

    i really doubt 20k+ …
    i really doubt 20k+rpms. the displacement is too large and the torque on these things is just way to high. i just really want to know the max rpms on this thing. i’ll try google

  23. bassoundlikethunda say:

    prolly around …
    prolly around 20,000+rpms. these cars scream. and i never new they swapped cylinders too. The whole thing gets rebuilt lol I dont think these engines ever last more than a few races. Thats nuts.

  24. bigmrclean say:

    Huh..So they use a …
    Huh..So they use a sleeve kinda like a diesel engine..It’s sealed off and pushed down by the head bolts. Wow..Never knew that.

  25. pzpepsi say:

    i’ve always wanted …
    i’ve always wanted to know but never got an answer… what is the usually max rpm in these beasts?
