Thought I might be fighting above my weight class 4 cars came out to play in Canada this morning, a '13 GTR with the Schwitzer 800 hp package, an Evo modded 650 hp 997 Porsche with the PDK tranny, a Ford GT with a 3.4 L Whipple making 767 rwhp, and my small block Z06 with a 100 shot of nitrous, making 680 SAE RWHP.
From a roll nothing could keep up with my Z (well, until my nitrous ran out).
From 60-120 I put 3-4 cars on the GTR, from a 45 roll I put cars on the P car without the nitrous.
I didn't get to run the Ford GT till I was too low on nitrous, only 3 pounds in the bottle, and he got me by a car or two from a 45 roll.
Now from a dig (no tires or traction for me) they'd all open 5 + cars on me at the start and I'd go by the P car at about 130, but ran out of road before running down the GTR.
Great fun and vids to go up soon.

Schwitzer 800hp haha. Schwitzer is probably a cheap knock-off of Switzer. J/k, good kills.
Anyways built motor or not, wouldn't make much of a difference. "P" in P800 stands for pump gas, and the whole turbo setup is based on that. Everything in that package is designed to achieve the most power with stock-like spool & linear delivery on pump gas that the engine/drivetrain can handle. It is not necessary to build the engine or transmission. I asked about building my engine: $14,200 for the SPI (Switzer Performance Innovation) stage 1 engine build. According to the guys at Switzer the P800 turbos are good for ~780whp. So my P800 @ 740whp, wouldn't benefit much from a built motor plus E85 or race gas. At least not enough to justify spending 14 grand. They said I could upgrade to the SPI v2 turbos found on the R900 and E900, that setup would make around 820whp. Granted on a built motor they could be more aggressive with the torque delivery in the tune.... But is that enough to overcome the "claimed" 3-4 car lengths the OP put on the P800?
Personally, I think the P800 in the OP was running 91 octane that's the only reason it lost. Haha.

OK, I misspelled the tuner. Sue me. I'm running a 100 shot. Here's a vid where I get slaughtered at the launch by the Porsche (launch control, PDK, 5,000 rpm start Vs. launch at idle, no nitrous till second gear)

I was just kidding with you. On a serious note, what fuel was everyone running?

Pretty sick... If I'm right.. The fastest Manuel c6 that will show a time slip is just a c6z on a 150 shot... Must be a handful to run that car from a dig without tire's

Found a video of the GT-R you ran vs you:
http://youtu.be/Szjg47vCUis
I'm not doubting your words but how many times did you guys run because that looks like a 40-140 and he got you.

It all makes sense now. That P800 (more like P700) probably makes 630-650awhp on 91 octane. That car on 93 octane might have given you a better run. Your Z06 is fast. I love the yellow
