I ran into a guy who showed me his Farmall M and claimed it put out 300hp. It looked pretty normal except for an oversized stack and really rough idle. I didn't call him a liar, because he was biggger than I, but we all know that all liars where red, starting with the devil himself. He claimed the secret was in the fuel. Anyway, a while back, one of the guys on the forum claimed he had "no problem getting 100hp out of a DC". I am curious, what is the most you have ever heard of a DC generating? I'm not asking you to prove it, just pass on the wildest claims you've heard. Can't let these "red" guys steal our flambeau bragging rights, can we?

A good friend of mine that use to run an engine shop always use to say "don't tell me, show me!" Now with a little help from a blue bottle, heck who knows!! Maybe for a brief second, before the rods took off air mail to China, it might have hit 300hp. LOL!! I havent heard a lot of numbers on DC's in our area of WI though. Rather than waste time on the dynos, we just take them to the tracks and bring home the plaques!

I can vouch for Mel's DC - very strong runner! Love that deep beller. I can't beleive how snappy it is - afraid sometimes it's going to throw the boy from the seat!

I can guarantee you he did not check 300 hp on the standard 540 rpm pto shaft even if over sped. It would twist the shaft off!!

100 HP is possible. Can't say easy, but 500 cubic inch is also possible on a DC block. I have just about finished one 379 cubes and 100 hp is possible, but I am running 2500 rpm class. 300 hp in a DC or Farmall M is way far out.
