Fastest LS1 Period in Hot Rod Mag.

Fastest LS1 Period in Hot Rod Mag.
I just picked up the April edition of Hot Rod and found an article called World's Most Extreme LS1s. It had Mike Kleman of Rapid Motorsports with the Fast Naturally Aspirated Title. Dave Whitten of Ortonville, MI had the Fastest Heads-and-Cam. Sean Mangan of Plainfield, IL had the Fastest Cam Only. Allan Futral of Futral Motorsports had the Fastest Six-Speed. And last but not where to being the least, Ronnie Duke of Fenton, MI has the Fastest Period Title. This guy has a fortified 387 C5-R motor with a F1R Procharger and a 100shot of nitrous. This motor lays down 1181HP without the spray. Is he a member of LS1Tech and who is he? Is there a website I can look at this car in action? Is the car "streetable" as far as able to run on pump gas?

Have you noticed that Agostino disappeared from site when the 8.50 Wheel-to-wheel car arrived on the scene? In any case, I would like to tee it up with the guy just to see if I could stay close to him.

Ronnie's car is quite the machine. It made a nice center piece at the shop's grand opening up here a few weeks ago. You've got to love show car quality with go car speed.
The facilities are top notch and the shop talent list is equally impressive. It's gonna be a long hot summer up around these parts this year.

Very good article. I saw it about a week and a half ago; a friend that gets it gave it to me. Ron Duke's car is very impressive. I believe he does drive it here and there. He did offer me a ride once....so I'm guessing it see's the street every now and then. It does have a license plate.

BigBoss,
Yes, we've got the cog setup all worked out. You can see some photos at http://www.hollowayllc.com/stealthindex.htm , although we are currently changing the ductwork at the blower to allow for the new Pro M maf.

Didn't Ron hire most of the wheel to wheel guys to work at Hardcore? Either way, it is a sweet car and a sweet shop too. I was in there on Monday, and got a good look at his car (it's getting new head gaskets right now). It really is mostly stock.

I agree it's a very impressive and innovative car that makes him the new Top Dog.
My car obviously has a comparable setup; a few more cubes, similar blower cfm, 100 wet shot, weighs about the same (e.g., like a tank), but hydraulic versus mechanical cam. When I get the new Pro M MAF installed and tuned, it's done.
I wonder if he would be willing to come to Denver and race me at 8500 DA for a cup of coffee?

So whats the word with those Pro MAF's, are they available now to purchase, I might need one if my MAF gives me trouble w/the power I could possibly make....
Stealth who made those COGS for you?

What boost do you expect to see from that...
Me and Jeremy are running 73T and 31T setups from ASP.....still working on getting them exactly right, we need to figure out a way to get the belt to run under the tensioner instead of over for more belt wrap.....
Thats a 7" crank and 3" blower pulley.......
