One hopped up lawn tractor!!!

Here is a little something I created in desktop dyno. It is a single cylinder engine with a 3" bore and 2.5" stroke. It has 16:1 compression, 1000cfm carb,288 duration roller cam. BDS 1471 blower and about a 500 shot of nitrous. The block of course made of an unobtainium alloy. Just bored and started screwing around with the program. Here it is.

I think you forgot to divide by 8. Your dyno must still think it is a multi-cylinder or something. Does this engine have overhead valves?

Didn't forget to divide anything. Yes it is an overhead valve engine. Not modeled off of anything in particular. Anything can be done if you can make it hold together!! In this case there hasn't been anything invented yet. 17.7 cubes to be exact.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 29-Jun-02 AT 01:53 AM (EST)]This reminds me of last week's episode of Monster Garage. They made a riding mower out of a 5.0 Mustang!

Nothing suprises me anymore, Just makes me stop and think. Just when I thought I had saw it all I was pondering once again while staring at a pro street mail jeep last weekend. It was still right hand drive and the whole Nine yards. Tubbed, caged, bottled, big block and then some. It might of even had a blower on it. I was just in such awe at the time I don't remember. I wish I had the camera. Although I still think that it would be cool to jam a Harley Engine onto my Four wheeler.

I would hope the hopped up lawnmower would do a little better than 14.6.

I remember when I worked in Silver Lake right by the ORV park, A guy had an old lawn tractor with yamaha dirt bike engine and a quad swingarm. He said he didn't mow, he roto-tilled.
