Default FFHP's Single Turbo Corvette Project

Owner got the car to the track on Friday
Race Weight approx. 3700lbs
6.37sec @ 112.2mph (1/8mi) with a 60' of 1.538
this was on 10.4psi, car is built to run 25psi no sweat

some track video
http://videos.streetfire.net/video/E...66000EF953.htm

some dyno video
http://videos.streetfire.net/video/E...6C51ACAC4E.htm

dyno vid does not really show much, it was a dynojet dyno which is really not optimal for tuning this setup, but we could not get time on the local mustang dyno at that time.

One of the nicest looking setup i've seen. Nice job.

I know the car is still in its shakedown runs but...at 15 PSI...i'm not too hiped up on the numbers man.

Whats up with that?...

the dyno is a dynojet, non loading dyno, car is an automatic and we were tuning. the non-eddie current dyno setup is far from optimum for this car

today on a mustang dyno at 10psi the car put down 700+rwhp and 800+rwtq

the track time in the track video is at 10psi not 15psi, track results are what we consider most important.

no weight reduction at all
car now has an iron block, forged engine, turbo setup , 6 point cage, etc
the car has the A/C still in it and working
3700 is an estimate but it is close.
