Default Speed Inc T88?

Has anyone seen or heard any updates on this car/system yet? I hope they are bringing it to the N vs S event Sat June 19th.

if you are refering to there 'test bed' car (sunset orange '02 camaro) that was in gm high tech perf than it should be done next week. right now it has my 427 C5R block in it and they are finishing up wiring on a few things and tuning should start today or friday. I should be picking up the car next week unless something else goes wrong. they are looking to get 1000hp or more out of it with c16 and the boost controller turned up. they will publish numbers as soon as they get them.

i had the engine built for my car but we switched gears half way thru. tom, mike and i decided it would be easier in many ways to put my engine in their car and then sell me the complete ready to go car. once they get the tuning down they should have one of the happiest customers around. so far tom and mike have been great to work with and their shop guys are right up there too.

Yeah, tom and Mike are great. Mike just dropped my car off to me last night and he was telling me about you buying the car. No doubt you,re gonna have a blast in that thing! as soon as they get the gen7 working good on yours then mines going back up there to get a gen7 put in then i can crank up the boost and go crazy w/ mine! So i guess we'll both be happy when your car is done.

So they decided against the Darton Re-sleeved 427? Any reasons why or did they just figure the C5R is more bullet-proof?

Ok you got me. It is the Gen7 sorry. Something was wrong with the crank sensor signal so it would only run on the stock pcu.
