Default 3.4L Whipple RPM Cobra

My car getting busy on RPM's Dynojet!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUMqibD8wZo



690/636 with the 3.8" upper pulley and stock lower pulley. This was with a tank of 92 Wawa gas and I spiked it with some Sunoco 100 for safety. I shouldn't have, but I'm a bitch and was scared.

We'll turn up the boost and timing soon!

Hahaha. Sons of a bitches!

We got the pump assembly out Sunday night, Tillman had the Walbro in stock and we got it installed Monday.

Thanks Rick. Can't wait to run your new car! Let me know when you get it.

Because it's already there.

When ever you see that, just think of all the blood, sweat and hours of work I put into that just so he can boast about how great it is.

Depends on conditions and tune. They've had a turbo car make over 1000 on a stock longblock. However it took a lot of broken engines to get one that would hold.

Realistically at the 600-650 mark you want to start looking into aftermarket bottom ends. The only part that needs to be changed is pistons though. I have a 100% stock longblock, sans some custom forged pistons, ARP main studs, ARP rod bolts and different tolerances than stock.

The piston to wall clearance is tight and the stock pistons have a bad habit of melting. I would know, I blew one. Eleven days after I bought this car.

Correct. I'm running the stock Manley H-beam rods, and the stock 4140 Kellogg crank. They're good upwards of 900HP without a problem.

Damn, SICK numbers!

It's nice to see a good dyno video for once. Short, gets to the point, shows a clear graph. I'm sick of the 3 minute videos showing 2:45 of the car idling on the dyno and one pull at the end with no numbers, lol.

My girlfriends always tell me I'm very short and to the point.

You could see the dyno sheet more clearly before I uploaded it to Youtube.

Thanks for the compliments.
