Raced from a roll. You could tell he thought he would walk me. I just pulled away at will:cheers He freaked out. It was fast, but at 743rwhp I should beat him. Man our FGTs are fast. I can just guess how fast a 900rwhp twin turbo would be!

And of course, for the benefit of any LEO's who may read the above, this was done on a closed course on private property. :usa :agree:

"I just pulled away at will."

Congratulations.

And unlike a ZO6 your car is unique and of course much better looking!

All I have is the accufab x pipe and intake stiffener. I dyno at 562. I can also reel in a stock C6 Z06. I thought it was a midly modified C6 until I passed him. DOH!!!

In that case Junior, you can stick with the other junior supercars like the Z06.

900 RWHP is not too far out of the question for the 4.0 Whipple. We have the best tallent around the country working on it right now! As time unfolds we will keep you posted. Injectors, fuel pressure, throtal,body and air box and some other things that are being worked on right now.
Last week at High Plains Race Way I participated in an open track event. There was a brand new Callaway Vett that I just SMOKED on the strate away's. He said it was pushing 750 RWHP but I did not see it.:biggrin

IMHO you would need some very high octane gas to safely reach 900 with any blower and to sustained 900 HP the inter-cooler system would need upgrading. It is one thing to get 900 HP on a single dyno pull and a completely different thing to maintain that HP level for something like the TX mile. Compressing that much air creates a LOT of HEAT, causing IAT2 to climb very quickly.

It is much easier and safer to reach these levals with a TT system.

Remember, there is alway's someone out there faster than you. If you are a speed and horse power junkie like me you are alway's looking for the next fix. The fuel that runs in my vains keeps me alive and looking for a new day. Speed is just a question money, how fast do you want to go??????:thumbsup
