That kind of HP in a street car usually doesn't come cheap.

GT55 compressor cover is smaller then a TV Thumper (91.5-106).

I always have a good laugh at these 1300+ rwhp 'street' cars...

I cruised around my significantly lower hp turbo car this weekend...I could daily drive it if I was insane...but it's still not anything resembling a daily driver...it's a street-driven racecar...let's cut the bs. lol

Manny went a 7.37@194 with a 94. So he's making some power. That was at last years WFC.

A/C, Street Car, and 1500HP dont belong in the same sentence......

Oh and saying W2W is to much might be true but ive been around the block with this crap and i am a true believer you really do get what you pay for.
Have you called Stenod and recieved a quote from them??

I have a really really valid question here........
How is it going to really be a daily driver / street car with the trans that has to go in there??? There is NO WAY in hell a T56 will EVER hold that.... 4L80E is the only way i can see......... maybe a Gear Vendor Overdrive unit on the back of a Glide or 400......

What are you thinking for the whole thing???? complete package??

Well, my friend has a TT Heffner Viper it's putting down 1,000. He just got it back from the shop after doing some more head work and some other stuff. Its a daily driver. Gayle Banks also says 1,300 RWHP is childs play and they already have a 427 TT that does 1,600 FWHP and is a daily driver set-up. I see no reason why a 1,500 RWHP can't be done too.

In 2-3 years from today we'll be sitting around saying , "2,200 RWHP, a street car....no way. I can see 1,500-1,800, but not 2,200."

Its gonna happen.

A tranny shop here in Lauderdale that has 6 and 7 second race cars is putting together a serious 4L80E for me. I think my Strange 12 bolt will be ok since it's only going to be a street car doing roll races. No launches on slicks. If it can't hold a built Ford 9" will go in.

This project all hinges on me getting some serious coin that I'm expecting pretty soon, so this is just research. The 4L80E is being built regardless because my FLP IV is a joke.

Lyle what tire do you plan on putting on this car.I think you're going to be in for a big suprise when you floorboard the go pedal.

My Z06 will light the tires up at 100 mph with a 150 shot.I can't imagine what it would be like with 1300 rwhp.

It sounds good but I don't know how you would be able to use all that power.

You're in for a big surprise for sure. Of course it is do-able, I just don't think you realize how silly it is. Even with 1000hp it's hard to hook the car from a roll. And to keep it "very streetable", you'd have to put the wrong converter in it, which would defeat the purpose, because someone like me with way less power than you would blow your doors off still.

I realize a lot of you guys just like to compare dyno numbers for some reason, so if that's all you're doing it for, then go for it. If you really want to race on the street, you're doing it stupid by trying to build that much power.

I've screwed around at 700-750rwhp on 28/28w slicks and the car was nuts. Trying to hook 1000+ rhwp on 26" drag radials on the street will be suicide.

What's your max budget if you don't mind me asking? If W2W is out of the question, who are you planning on using to build you a 1500+ hp LSx style motor?

My friend with the 1,000 RWHP Viper dead hooks from roll when he runs people. The Supras also dead hook. Obviously they don't just mash it to the floor from 50 roll, they roll into it. So after about 2-3 seconds they can go WOT and stay hooked.

I don't understand why people think I or anyone else would have a 1,000+ RWHP car and just mash it to the floor, driving technique is what has to be done. Everyone told me my ~500 RWHP car is going to be a bad idea for a daily driver. There is absolutely NO difference in me taking my car to the store or taking my mothers minivan. Or driving either car in the rain. There's a time and place to use the power. I don't even think I ever once in almost 4 years lost traction with my car unless it was intentional.

Quickin

Dave,

You're probably right, I will be quite surprised at the power of 1,000+ RWHP, but there's a whole lot of them out there doing it every day, especially down here where I live, there's alot of them.

But like I said, in 2-3 years 1,500 RWHP daily drivers will be all over the place. There's a guy in Orlando, right now, building a 2,000 RWHP turbo stang, for the street. He has a little over 1,000 RWHP in it right now and he drives it on the street all the time.

Quickin

When I plan to run someone it'll be a very wide R-Compound race tire in the back. Buy 2 extra rims for a quick swap. Otherwise, it'll run around all the time with the boost turned down on 315's or 335's.

Quickin

There are roll races out here every weekend with 1,000+ RWHP cars, they hook just fine. And again, they of course roll into the throttle to maintain traction.

There's a race coming up in a couple weeks we hope, my friend with the 1,000+ RWHP Viper and a 1,000+ RWHP Supra. it'll all be on film.

Where abouts are you? I'd like to try some of these "1000rwhp" cars that dead hook from a roll. I think these are like the supras that have 1000rwhp and only trap 135.

LTLHOMER

Exactly!

But these threads are good for a laugh...I hear all about these 1000+ rwhp daily drivers but I've yet to see one ever...and I bet they run more like 500 rwhp cars anyways...a 1000+ rwhp dyno sheet and 5 bucks will get you a coffee at starbucks...that's about it.

Well 1000rwhp should be good for a street car to trap over 160mph, how does these cars do at the track?
