It was red. I remember he was wearing a beanie in the picture I think lol. He did it with like 450 WHP. Anyone remember that or see that car in person? It was insane fast. Just wanted to bookmark the article.

Bullit95T/A

I remember that article that was one hell of a car

moderate Z28

Thanks. Power: "It puts 456 hp at 6,800 rpm and 367 lb-ft of torque at 5,700 rpm to the wheels" - That couldn't be right lol

Why not?

Its pretty gutted according the article.

moderate Z28

running 9's with 367 torque is pretty crazy.

Because hp/wt ratio is majix.

If I came on here and told you all I run 9's in the 1/4 with 367 tq. Id get laughed off the internetz. That's why.

Anyone got a line lock for sale? I'm in the market for one real soon for my 95.

Wallace racing basic hp calculator at given weight = Your HP computed from your vehicle ET is 541.38 rear wheel HP and 601.53 flywheel HP.
Your HP computed from your vehicle MPH is 528.44 rear wheel HP and 587.16 flywheel HP.

Adding 170 for a raceweight with a driver = Your HP computed from your vehicle ET is 572.26 rear wheel HP and 635.84 flywheel HP.
Your HP computed from your vehicle MPH is 558.59 rear wheel HP and 620.65 flywheel HP.

Depends on how much power you made. HP has everything to do with drag racing. I didn't read the article, but if that car weighed in at ~3000 lbs then it's a crap claim. With these kind of cars the devil is always in the details. Reminds me of the "look at me" threads Bob Cosby used to make in cz28.com kills section stating how fast he took a "bone stock" car to. When asked about weight reduction he'd lose his mind and want to credit his jedi master driving skills.

Yea there is something wrong with that number.

He has better heads and weighs 800lbs more than my car and was only three tenths slower? Sorry but his engine is making more than that, flywheel HP/TQ are somewhere in the 600HP/550TQ range. Probably a bit more, unless he is giving it some juice and not saying anything about it.

WAHT??

So it's about torque?

moderate Z28

To quote Bugs Bunny "Ehhhh.... could be"

Should I start shifting at my torque peak then?

moderate Z28

I would... but if you make it to 4th go for the HP peak.

With that logic I should make it into 9th. I cannot believe I was thinking and doing this all wrong from the start!

of course the car makes more than 45x whp...give you a clue as to why the dyno numbers are a bit off

Transmission: Replacing the failure-prone 4L60E is a TH350 built by Morris Transmissions (Baton Rouge, Louisiana). It's more than up to the task without the weight penalties and horsepower loss associated with a TH400. The converter is a BTE 5,500-stall unit and a TCI trans shield covers everything up.

WGAF what the dyno said the proof is in the ET/MPH

P.S. my AFR headed 396 only made 380whp on the dyno NA yet runs 125+ in the 1/4

I just talked to Ben late last week. Sounds like he has a stick F body now.
