Made a little more progress. 798rwhp 723rwtq @11psi boost, 13 deg timing, 93 octane.


silversurfer- Not sure what part you're referring to as the "plastic plenum".

Chris- I'll probably stop tomorrow at 12-13psi until I get some tires on it. Even then I probably won't push it much past 1000rwhp unless it seems like the car could use it.

52172- Still can't decide on tires. Either going with 345 M&H's on 18in CCW's or Hoosier R6's on the stock wheels.

 

getting there man

 

VIDEO'S !!!!!! Dammit JIM!!!! Take this monster to the LSX shootout!!!!

 

Sick...... Can't wait to see what you run on some sticky tires Jim.

 

No ****.... Seems the car is likely to go a least a low nine high eight with the right tire wheel combo.

 

track #'s Friday night...right Jim

 

Great build.

Wonder how much boost you can go up on pump gas with such CR!

 

the black plastic piece that says APS going into the intake, from my understanding the fbody people were having problems with them, i remember jmblownws6 trying to get ahold of peter about that. kind of the way the procharger boxes were splitting, maybe im confused

 

You better take your video camera. BTW CCWs would look pimp on your car or better yet some Satin Black 360 Forge wheels with color match lips.

 

Thanks guys. Ran it today and made 854/750 at 13psi, 93 octane. I stopped there as the stock runflats were no longer hanging on. (that's why torque is low)

The car feels very fast! Boost per gear works awesome. I still have to ease into the gas in 1st but I then hammer 2nd 3rd and 4th and got great traction on a brushed concrete highway. Pretty neat to see the boost step up after each gear change on the data log. Will be even better with sticky tires.

ssilverssurfer- That part is cast aluminum.

 

Sounds awesome Jim...............congrats on the build up.

Peter

 

Simply awesome car! Very nice.

 

awesome !

 

Nice!

 

Thanks everyone. Here is a screen shot of gear controlled boost

 

what the **** is that? a lie detecter print out?

i already told you! i didn't know she was under 18....

 

Drove the car to the track tonight (lots of fun )

Ran 10.6 @141 on a 1.9 60ft. Stock tires.

Boost was-

1st- 6psi

2nd-8psi

3rd-10psi

4th-11psi

Very tractable, easy to drive with the gear based boost control. No traction problems at all with the stock tires and those boost controller settings.

 

Jim,

fantastic!!!!!!!! that car is the dream car I will always work towards. 10.6@141mph on stock tires and pump gas and moderate boost sounds like a package that will be a complete blast to drive everyday you want to and never have a lick of trouble with the engine. how will the driveline hold up with this kind of power on the ZO6? I don't know enough about that Corvette yet to grasp the concept of its power handling capabilities. I am sure with the factory power output it should be pretty well beefed up from the General. I know the clutch is upgraded but thats about it..lol

again that is a seriously impressive setup. enjoy it!!

Chris

 

Vids dammit!!!!!!!!!

 

That's a great run on street tires Jim! MPH = HP. Especially at a max 11psi.
