That thing is going to be amazing, I'm looking forward to seeing how that fuel setup will work, I've heard of it before but never actually seen it. Very cool!

Kev, I'm sorry this is LS1Tech. Overhaulin is found here> http://tlc.discovery.com/fansites/ov...ck=tlc_leftnav
I'm sure it will be awesome when it's done though.

It will be powered by a LS1 engine
At 300 hp the Bigstuff will transition to a 75 percent C-16 mix.
Should make for the best of both worlds considering we can toot around on pump gas then when some young ls1 punk pulls up we can put a whoopin on him without flipping a switch

Not trying to bash the project in any way....IMO the awesome powertrain setup would be better suited in a late model GM but it is unique. But each to his own. Carry on..

The car is something different we wanted to put together for the Power Tour opposed to our other high dollar builds.
For the most part the cars existing exterior will remain including the paint.

Kevin, the C-16 starts adding in above 300hp. It is a 25%pump 75% c-16 mix. The C-16 tank at 10 gallons will probably last all of Powertour without refilling.
Rough calcs.
A 1000hp engine will need 550#hr of fuel to run at wot(1000hp). 10 gallons of C-16 is about 80 pounds. We will be burning about 9 pounds a minute at wot. That gives us almost 9 minutes of full throttle operation before the C-16 tank needs refilling. On power tour a 5 second burst of WOT could get you a 4 digit ticket! With a 10 second ET we could make about 50 1/4 mile runs on one C-16 tankfull.

I believe we will do a factory rally wheel with the rear widened to accept a bit bigger tire.
Personally I think the hub cap idea would be cooler.

We assume prior to testing 300 is when the mix should start coming in.
Baseline dyno numbers as of a few minutes ago.
RWHP 88 !!!!!!!!!
1/4 mile ET test 20.39 seconds !!!!!
Who wants some
