What kinda of power, ET/MPH do these things run?

 

depends on the driver--- between 14 and 12 seconds

 

400-500rwhp depending on other mods and tune. 12.5-11.5 depending on driver, DA, other mods.

 

This is the perfect thread for the Bench/Dyno racing section.

 

More info. would help, but +1 on what has been said.

 

A friend's Whipple'd S197 GT runs 10.80 @ 128-130mph on drag radials on low boost.

 

I am sorry about posting in the wrong section. I don't know alot about the car, I have heard rumors about it but never seen it until sunday. I came out on top in the race, but it was defn closer then i thought it would be. Today i talked to a member of a car club the owner is a part of, and the cars said to make 540 crank HP. Besides that i only know its a manual transmission.

 

They must have cool engine dyno's where you are.

 

i thought 400-500 was level for gt's?

 

All depending on the tune. Some have popped at 400rwhp, some are alive and kicking on the stock engine at 550rwhp (a couple turbo cars I know in the area)

 

I wouldnt' go higher than 450-460rwhp...and that would be with a GREAT tuner. But that's me.

 

I'm assuming it was crank HP because i find it hard to believe the car makes 540rwhp.

 

Stock short block?

It's possible it's built and 540rwhp would be VERY easily obtained.

 

psssttt

 

Yes stock shortblock, I don't believe the car is 540rwhp. If it did it surely would have been in front of me rather then behind me. From a 45mph roll he was about 5 cars back, but once i jump out on him, it stayed pretty even in the gap, i didn't pull away anymore, and he didnt pull on me. Looks like there is too much speculation without much direct info on the setup, Ill have to catch up with the owner again and get the lowdown.

 

540rwhp on a turbo...even that's borrowed time. We're talking abotu a whipple.
Am I missing something?...this car has ~430-450rwhp and you put 5 cars on it? Something seems off.

And yep....lots of variables on this one.

 

Im assuming my 3500lb raceweight, plus one passenger is a good bit lighter then his car with 2 passengers.

 

pending his passenger's that'd be a 500pound advantage.
