06BaNsHeE Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 I had the same exact motor, 135 to 140 HP. 140hp?Hmm isnt that what Kim gets out of the 10mm DMs? Quote
BIGTWIN550 Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 140hp?Hmm isnt that what Kim gets out of the 10mm DMs? I talked to K & T last week about building me a 14mil DM, he said they were getting around 150HP out of those motors. So around 135hp for a 10mil cheetah, 140 to 145 for a 10mil DM. Quote

J-Madd Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 I had the same exact motor, 135 to 140 HP. Surely that's above "average", but definitely a good number to shoot for. Quote

dajogejr Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 All depends on who's dyno...I'm sure there's a builder that can get the dyno to read 160 HP out of that build...LOL. Realistically...130ish, give or take. A solid 10 mil cub is 120ish. Cheetahs have bigger bores and bigger intakes than that.... Probably could very easily vary from 125HP to 140 HP depending on who's dyno you take it to, 130ish is very reasonable I think. Quote
ursombc Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 Mine dynoed at 138 hp with 82 lb-ft torque. Quote
dajogejr Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 Mine dynoed at 138 hp with 82 lb-ft torque. That is very impressive, ESPECIALLY the torque... What kinda times it run? Nice numbers!!! Quote
Wildcardracing Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 An other factor not mentioned is elevation, keep in mind that K&T is building and dynoing these engines at 5,000 ft elevation so the same 130 hp engine may make 135+ near sea level. Quote
dajogejr Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 I would almost bet my paycheck that you'll get more than 1HP per 1000 feet...based on what my friends that ride that high use for jetting. Quote

I agree, I'm simply saying that elevation is something rarely mentioned in dyno/hp discussions and it makes a huge difference. Quote
J-Madd Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 j-madd, whats that 593 of yours pushing??? I haven't got it on the dyno yet. I bought it used and was told it dyno'd either 138 or 148 hp. I've beat a 10 mm DM and an 18 mm DM on it so far. The 18 was having problems, I think. I plan on getting it to the dyno eventually and let ya'll know. Quote
