Congrats! Badass car. Could you get away with E85 and 15 degrees at 26PSI? What do the turbos have left in them?

the hood is actually ok, that is the grille with no support shoving back

we could probably go 7.8s @ 176 on ethanol yes, we would have to see how far it can go on injector, i think the turbos will hang the rods out on kill honestly

Do you or Mark have any theories behind how this one performs vs the notch?

Similar ET and MPH
Camaro: 427 LSX, TFS 6 bolt heads, Twin Billet ETR 76s, LS3 intake. 26-28 PSI(?)
Notch: 402 stroker, Stock 317 heads, Single billet 84, LS1 intake. 22-24 PSI(?).

It seems like the Camaro should be significantly faster even on the same boost. Somewhere in the 7.50s on the current setup. I know it weighs a few hundred pounds more. Any chance the converter is struggling? I'm at work so I can't view images/attachments so I'm not sure what the 60 ft on the notch looked like vs Camaro, but that could be it.

I dont recall but what did the Notch trap? I know it was insane fast for what it had for sure. My guess is being still shakedowns they are figuring out the power management of the 330'/front half still. While the notch was amazing this still to me to go 7s so quickly on a new build astounding. My setup is almost identical and in two outings so far ive mostly just done promod burnouts down the track. Id be happy to ever have that slip above!

yeah we cant use all the power yet, still on a long ramp, also 400lbs heavier and smaller tire

its already out trapping the notch on the same boost with less tire, more weight, and longer boost ramps

Very nice. I have been too greedy and thought i could handle 20psi .8 sec off the brake on leaf springs and a radial. fun ride though. Heading back out soon on menscer coilovers and a little softer tuneup.

oh and yeah i thought the same thing, i figured this motor and combo would make huge power on low boost, but it does not, but it keeps gaining like a beast up top. oh well

the white mustang was a unicorn to measure all other vehicles though so much with so little we can all only hope to do as well as that little fox did LOL

Sorry about that. Your turning the engine 7300ish and shift the same? I'm hope to turn 7500 with and wet sump system myself. Your build is awesome and making me feel better about turning 7500rpm. The pt 106m turbo with g-trim turbine need all the help to spool. Thanks

yeah it is wet sump and i have limiter at like 7500ish right now because it traps at 7334 lol

i mean its like 15 passes total now but no issues.

he is planning on gear vendors over winter, since we like this gearing and power right now, and the longer gearing with the overdrive on the street will be nice, we can also bump the gear vendors 1000ft under full power, pretty neat.

I'd be interested to see more pics and which intercooler or Intercoolers were used!! 40* rise with that much boost is impressive

The first picture it shows the outlets at the bottom... wonderif those ports make the Intercoolers tie into each other or were they blocked off completely then the side outlets were added.

Looks like th cxracing 5" core

yeah they completely changed the in and outs to be horizontal and fit the car, then welded the cores together, each turbo gets one of those cores, the pipes cross in the fenders but they are regular horizontal flow, no funny business
