A friend of mine has a crazy obsession to build a tire smoking Road Race car. He currently has a 427 that made 550 rwhp but that just wasn't enough for him. So he asked me to slap on a blower and give him 950-1000 rwhp horsepower. So myself and Dave@CDN Perf where honored to be able to have Frank's blessing to turn his car into a monster! Check out his car!


look at those meats-there going to melt!!!!

This front end was made for the ECS intercooler!!!!!


So the plan is to pull the 427-Dave will go through and it make it blower friendly and install the awesome ECS PROCHARGER KIT with a F1C head unit. The F1C is the cooler running blower so under constant rpm's this blower along with ECS's giant intercooler will keep IAT temps in check. It will also get the famous ECS meth kit as well for some added protection.
I'm going to be testing some cams that will make big power and pull to 7000 rpm yet still be docile for everyday driving. Jessels will make sure the valve events are accurate from idle to 7000 rpm.
Kooks will supply some stepped headers or maybe even the 2" headers and I'll be building a custom h-pipe/mid pipe with 3" resonators to keep the car muffled but restriction free when going in and out of the SW 3" catback.
Jack from Racetronix will be supplying the fuel with his FJO driver box, harness, 96lb injectors and everything else we need to feed 1000 rwhp.
Where going to go with the EVAN's cooling system to keep the car cool under constant abuse it will go through.
Franks already taken care of the brakes as he's got 15" Brembo's going upfront and 14"'s out back-there's so many pistons stopping it I lost track-lol!!!!
Speed TVwill be putting a in-car camera to film Frank as this car is going to be entered in the One Lap of America race!!!!!!
This car is getting my 100% undivided attention as this build is a little more demanding than building a drag car! I'll keep Doug at ECS busy as he just went through a similar build with his Vert!
I'll keep everyone posted with updates and pics as the car progresses-what better way to break in the new dyno!
Who wants to make a bet that he's gonna ask me to pulley it down so he can put that power to the ground!!!!!!!

 

That is a great looking car, what tires are on that thing? good luck on the build.

 

Sweet project!! Why was the thread locked on corvetteforum???

 

Nice looking car. When done, that thing should be a real monster. Who makes the rear ducts? They look great!

Sounds like a really fun project.

Sounds like the cars gonna be a beast when complete. Enjoy the experience.

 

Very cool project, keep us updated

 

thats a badass vette

 

Custom pistons are ordered, as soon as te fuel system arrives we can start working on that. Looks like were going to need tranny and diff coolers as well.
On aother note the brand new 224X dyno arrived this week as well!!!!!!!I'll keep everyone posted step by step-the goal is to have the car finished by the end of feb latest.

 

one of the nicest corvettes i have ever seen

you should get him to tint his windows
