Smallest pulley is already on there as far as I know. I'm pretty sure It's running at a bit more than 6psi especially in this cold weather, but it's hard as hell to watch the boost gauge with my foot down. I'd love to do a blower cam swap but I'm not sure I have the $$$ right now.

ive only raced a ls6 vette and i killed him. my car dynoed like 448 on a 75 shot and i sprayed a 140 shot at the track and ran time in sig. so figure i was around 520ish RWHP on a dynojet and i trap about what a stock z06 does. i think you will lose but will be close enough where it could be a drivers race, just stay away from him in the triple digits or hes going to walk on by.

All I can say is that my old car was 315rwhp/2800lbs and it was damn fast, but this car is a MONSTER compared to it!

That should put me close to a stock Z then, but probably still a little bit behind. I'll be sure to avoid anything from a dig. Seems like after reading all this the magic number i was looking for is about 500rwhp....I'll be sure to resurrect this thread with the outcome when it happens. Thanks guys!

Haha yeah thats my car. I bought it from the guy "Vols Fan" sold it to. You must be the guy hes posted about racing and being very disappointed with the results? I'm not sure what the case was at the time, but when I got the car the clutch was toast. I didn't immediately notice because it appeared fine when you nailed it and during normal driving conditions, but if you stuck it in 6th gear and floored it while going slow it would fail. The guy who took it out said there were all kinds of hot spots on the flywheel too, like it had been doing that for a while. Not saying that it was the cause of that outcome,theres too many variables there, but it would certainly make a lot of sense.

haha yeah its a nice car i actually thought about buyin it when volsfan had it. i kept it and drove it for a day or so then changed my mind and decided to keep my car. it is extremely clean and nice looking for a 98. i wasnt tryin to bash or anything the car just didnt feel like 475rwhp that he was claiming when i drove it, but i do love the car
