Nice work, how much boost did it make?? Buddies running a 5inch with stock 243 heads on a 408 with a decent size cam and we are around 3lbs lol, still hauls *** even in a heavy truck.

I heard there might be a walk around vid?
This car is so nice, build is clean, everything is custom for it. Looks clean and still easy to work on, not just stuff bolted to other parts. Off each other or in the way, like most "show" custom builds are. And it still makes BIG power in 24/7 drive around mode anyone can drive.

Congrats on getting the car up and running now get the smaller pulley on and show everyone what it can do!
How much meth do you plan on spraying into the blower? have Whipple given you any info spraying meth? have you thought about a water / meth mix maybe?

Now as far as the final numbers, not as high as I thought they would be (theres a but), it made 928rwhp at about 6500rpms, and no idea on the torque figure because the clutch was slipping on the throttle stab and then recovering BUT Mike said the tune is so conversative no joke, and said it will do 950rwhp+ on straight pump when we tune it over here in Dubai since our 93 octane equivalent fuel is slightly better, plus we arent even using the meth injection yet.
Spark advance is currently at about 16degrees on 93 octane and the meth injection at this power range could itself net around a 70rwhp increase over the 950rwhp number, no exaggeration.
Now the final horsepower will be decided by how much power I can put to the ground, im gonna slap on some CCW LM20 18inch wheels to fit a 325/40/18 (if im not mistaken) M&H drag radial and the hog will see some weight reduction that should be worth about 150-200 lbs if im lucky.
boost ended at 18psi, inlet temps are so awesome they barely go up (post intercooler sensor).
I still have a few mods that would be waiting for the car to arrive such as the brake mods, minor suspension/chassis mods, weight saving mods, wheels/tires and so on.
I promise you guys will really appreciate all that went into this when I do the detailed video explaining everything on the car, cause it has a few crazy ideas that I havent spoken about yet

We have dual nozzles but the alky control is also progressive, I wont be spraying alot of meth I just want the added safety margin and a LITTLE bit more power. I want to be able to claim the car makes 1150bhp which is using some sloppy math about 975rwhp

Man, that setup looks so sweet. I'm interested in the dual inlet you had made up and the dual TB controller. Definitely sounds like it was a pain in the butt to make work, but definitely makes the setup possible. As for the custom pieces you had made, I see the tubing and the corner bend that are fabbed, but the aluminum piece at the back of the Whipple? Do you have any more pics of that piece by itself? I haven't seen a setup like that yet and I know it would look and work awesome in my next project.
Anyways, props to New Era and yourself for dreaming up that sweet setup!

Dang that is insane! What I wouldn't give to have a nice CNC like that in my shop Amazing piece there though buddy. I bet Whipple will be bugging you guys for that design pretty soon..lol.
Thanks for the pics and I'll stay tuned for more updates from the build.

Already did the guys at the shop took that a compliment of course however fabricating those pieces are VERY time consuming, almost a 100 man hours into the CAD itself, then the machining. Needless to say its expensive and usually more than anyone would like to pay for, to put it in perspective it costs more than the big blower itself
