Just wondering if he is a member on these boards...
He wanted to go from a dig, but the conditions wouldnt allow us to do anything other than a 40 roll
I'd like to get some info and maybe set something up if you guys know him

I understand...
I was just giving his estimates
He ran 11.7 @ 11x when he was cam only. I think he said it was 430RWHP cam only
Yeah, decided to get a Terminator and a 05 Honda Accord as a DD

No idea who that could be. Maybe you should throw your location out there and someone might figure it out.
Good runs, but he's definitely not at 520rwhp, he would have walked out hard. Wonder where he got that number.
A local guy from here on tech and my buddy met up to run, he had a 67mm buttmounted and he only made like 475 with a cam and meth, just for reference.

Beautiful Co'brah! I agree with Ohio, that blue is dynamite, nice kill! I don't quite understand why would he do a rear mount and then only run 4 psi? Not saying I'm a turbo guru lol, I'm just curious. Thanks for posting

He doesn't need the meth to be functional in order to up the boost does he? I understand guys were doing it without meth all the time. I have NO experience with meth.

I was watching the video and when he hits it the front doesn't even come up at all. Hell when my car was stock the front would rise when I got on it at 40MPH. Somethings not right there.
Nice kill anyway OP.

11.6 is pretty good man...that's fast for sure..and your paint color is mezmerizing but not to bring up any Ford vs Chevy stuff here but all i know is if that guy had'nt been running only 4 psi and if he had been running what your Termi is running or even a lil less then he would have done more than just hang with with you like he did..does'nt a stock termi run at 8 psi?..i'm not sure how much your pulley mods added to the boost but i'm guessing your atleast running 12 or more??...if you ever find that guy again then race him after he turns his boost up and it should be more than a challenge

I am just going to say, coming from a butt mounted 74mm there is no way he was making 520rwhp through an auto (it sounded like) at only 4psi, so either he isn't making 520 or he isn't making 4psi im going with he isn't making 520 judging from the front end lift when it went full spool.
With similar numbers I have raced a 03 cobra making over 500whp and managed to slowly drive around him. My guess is its on stock valve springs and it will only hold about 4psi before it starts to flote the valves, as my stock springs gave up at about 6psi without ever running a cam which has no doubt weakened them.
This is all just guessing as I dont know the car or the guy, but this is how it appears to me.

Edit: I See it has a cam, proper for a turbo or just what was in for na setup, this could be a reason for low boost and poor performance as well.
even STS says the kit makes 95 rwhp on 5psi so he is somehow making 200rwhp on 1 psi less ... I detect ricer math here .. avg gain for ls1 turbo's is 20hp/psi
