I pulled 746rwhp with 17psi slightly above sea level with a smaller engine so I would think you would pull as much if not more like 800-825rwhp as long as you have the fuel and intercooling to support the number/timing.

I saw Ronnies car at Thunder. Talked to him and Kurt. They are both real down to earth nice guys. Ronnie was saying that Kurt does all the driving in that car and he sticks to his other car. The other one he brought to thunder. It was badass also..... full weight 4000LB beast. It ran mid ten's... I have alot of pic's of both from Thunder ill post them up later..... you all are drooling over the car???? You should of seen his truck and trailer set-up............

Well, we'll have an answer on power in a few weeks after we install the new maf and tune and dyno the car. If the YSI is as good as Vortech says it is, we should make around 850 rwhp on the blower, adjusted to sea level.
We continue to use 108 UL gas and have never seen any sign of detonation or knock. The GM PCM will obviously remove timing if it sees such.

Yes, Ronnie is known to be a collector of TAs. The local dealerships give him a call when they see a black one on the market. 
He some of his other classic cars on display for the grand opening as well.
I must say the Truck and Trailor setup looked very sweet parked in the garage at the shop. I think I could get usedd to having a big screen TV to review launch footage at the track.

Hey, I don't want to step on his thread, he deserves it. My original reply was simply intended to say that our cars are reasonably comparable and I would like to tee it up with him to see if I could compete. If I lose, I get in my 2002 Firebird and give him a one second spot!

If you were to make 850rwhp you would be right there with him... maybe a tick slower.
I'm not sure if you can hit 850rwhp without C16 but heck we didn't think I'd hit 746rwhp unlocked with C12.
You have a 'cooler?

Yea, intercooler from Extreme Machines in Canada (33"x3.5"x12").
Our concern about octane is the primary reason we added the 100 shot. But again, we have never recorded any detonation.
