We're just weeks away from this year's dyno challenge to be held at the Comp Cams facility in Memphis, Tennessee, and we are eager to see how much power this year's 500-inch wedge engines can make. Will the wedges out perform the Hemis? the engines will be judged from 3,000 to 7,000 rpm, a range most of us at Mopar Muscle feel will favor the wedges. But it's hard to beat Hemi power, so let's review the numbers from last year's challenge.

Combined peak horsepower and torque total: 1344.0 With this year's wedge engines...  With this year's wedge engines waiting to be dyno'd at Comp Cams, we thought we'd recap last year's Hemi challenge. Do you think the wedges will out power the Hemis?

Jeff Dickey of J.D. Engine and Machine had the highest combined horsepower and torque of any of the participants in last year's challenge. Jeff is also competing this year and predicts even bigger numbers from his wedge entry. |
