what is the maximum streetlegal horsepower allowed in washington state

Horsepower limits. Now there is a new one. I hope the legislators don't get wind of that idea. Maybe they would come up with a new version of the old British horsepower tax!!

mes.. LOL um, I dont believe there is a limit....if there is, how do they measure it ?

Until you see portable dyno units, stenciled with Washington State Police on the side: I don't think you have to worry about max horsepower.

Listen son....the reason I pulled you over is because we just timed you over 1300 feet when you were leaving that stop sign and with..hmmm..that thing looks to weigh 3600 pounds.....hmm...big block......let me check your numbers again....dang...you seem to be making 500 horse to the rear wheels.....I'm going to have to write you up. Show up to the state run chassis dyno if you want to fight this ticket. Have a nice day.

haha, yeah then for dyno day, you change your timing ,put some old plugs in and change the carb settings... "see its impossible i could go that fast"

I'm not sure, but as a person who lives in Washington himself, I hope it is around 10,000.

Oh man can you even imagine a Horse Power limit.. Having Hot Rods in some states are hard enough. If horsepower would have to be measured, and restricted,, that would be something..

LOL,,

In Texas, Many Many hot rods would be in trouble.
