Re: Stock Motor'd Vortech 9 lb dynos 500rwhp at Speed Inc! Well, I have the Vortech 9# kit with an LS6 intake manifold, SLP LTs with cats and a custom PCM tune. The intake is the !EGR one.
The car threw an SES light and I noticed a few drips of oil. I've emailed Larry, and they are of course going to take care of any issues.
I don't have any track times yet, but I'll post them when I do.

Re: Stock Motor'd Vortech 9 lb dynos 500rwhp at Speed Inc! I still can't see 500rwhp with 9lbs, headers and catback. That's over 575 flywheel hp!!!! I can see 500fwhp but 500rwhp????? Sounds too good to be true. And the car will probably only run low 11's. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I have a Golden West Performance Stage II ATI Procharger running at 9.5 to 10 PSI in a stock internals motor with MAC Headers and Y-Pipe (with cats).
I dyno'd 486.3 RWTQ / 487.0 RWTQ and ran 10.98 @ 125.3 MPH on BFG DR's with an A4! And that is running less than 10.0:1 A/F ratio up to 5500 RPMs and ramping to 11.7:1 A/F at 6400 RPMs.
DEFINITELY, even with the parasitic losses, if the A/F were brought up from pig-rich with a re-tune (I originally had smaller injectors and a larger pulley), I would be seeing low 500 RWHP range! The only reason I haven't done it is my stock rear keeps breaking as it is.
And I can vouch for what dougr said (our power curves look very similar). This much HP and torque has EXACTLY the effect he speaks of. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> First gear is like flipping the switch on a blender... that's the way it will churn the tires on the street. Riding along at 50 MPH in my automatic (and you know how that can be a dog), I easily break traction and go sideways by going to WOT.
This kind of power is DEFINITELY possible!
