DETROIT (April 18, 2008) – There were a lot of smiling faces in the dyno room during the early morning hours of April 12. The reason for the smiles: Jeff Prock of Applied Nitrous Technology had just tuned Ted and Tim Pelech’s small cubic inch NMCA Super Street big block past the 1500hp mark using only a single stage of nitrous-oxide.
Enthusiasm was evident in comments from the Pelech Brothers. “The past three days have been three years in the making. We didn’t just stumble into this. We’ve worked hard and obviously relied on the right companies to reach this point. You’ve got admit 1500 on one-stage of spray is pretty amazing. It just proves how well Jeff Prock knows his product,” said an appreciative Ted.
Tim’s comments were a little more to the point, “The engine just made great power and the spark plugs, O2 sensor readings, and compression check all look good. What’s not to smile about?”
The first day had not gone nearly as well. The group spent most of the day chasing a nagging oil pressure problem. Later that day, their perseverance paid off as the source of an internal leak was determined and measures were taken to temporarily remedy it and salvage the dyno session. From that point on, the power gains came early and often with the 465 cubic inch engine ultimately producing 1509hp on just the first stage of an Applied Nitrous Technology three stage system.
“We would’ve liked to work on of one the bigger systems, but we simply ran out of time. It’s not a big deal though; Jeff learned everything he needs to know about the characteristics of our engine, so I don’t think we’re really leaving anything behind,” added Ted.
When asked for his thoughts, the Applied Nitrous’ front man said, “Ted and Tim are dedicated racers who take this very seriously and they are always great to work with. They have assembled a competitive piece. I think we’re in pretty good shape here and I’m sure it’ll do very well on the track. Now we just need to prove it.”
The Pelech Bros. Racing crew is now hard at work tearing down and inspecting their potent power plant in preparation for upcoming on-track testing and competition. For more information visit their website
