The competition consists of a series of dyno test pulls in which average torque and horsepower performance rankings are configured to determine a winner in this challenge. Contingency payouts will be awarded to 1st-6th place finishers, and AMSOIL products will also be awarded plus $5,000 in cash and products from AMSOIL to the grand champion.
Slated for October 4-8 at the University of Northwestern Ohio in Lima, OH, entries are still being accepted with Popular Hot Rodding Magazine until February 15. The competitors, who are chosen by the staff of Popular Hot Rodding magazine, begin their engine building program in mid-February, and continue a course of component selection, building, and iterative testing up until the fall contest in October. Throughout that time, competitors will be consulting with various manufacturers, including AMSOIL, to develop their engine building programs.
The AMSOIL Engine Masters Challenge will be covered in detail in the February 2011 issue of Popular Hot Rodding, and many of the competing engines will be showcased in the months following the end of the competition.
