I put down 436 rwhp and 380 rwtq on a dynojet on 92 octane. With the E-85 it's over 450.

I'm still trying to get the car dialed in since I only ran it a couple times at the track last year. Best was 11.9 but the tune wasn't quite right and the shift points kept bouncing off the rev limiter. It'll be in the mid 11's when we get it worked out. Hopefully low 11's with some more weight stripped out when the weather warms up here in Minnesota.

I was, relax... Those numbers were put down on my old 99 z28. All it had was Hooker LT's,ory,LS6 intake,ported TB,free mods,lid, and Yank SS3600 stall w/ cooler. It put down 339 to the ground. Nothing special at all. Thats why when everyone was saying my friends car would put down 400-419 with the mods listed in my first post I was surprised. There's a few guys on my local forum without heads, with just an C/I setup putting down 420-435. I thought he would at least have a good chance of 450 rwhp.

Nice numbers bro.. What suspension setup are your running? Im sure with some tweeks on the suspension side and a nice set of sticky tires you should have no problem dipping into the low 11s.

Those times were with a pretty much stock suspension and Nitto DR. Now I've got some slicks and a bit of suspension work done so it'll be interesting to see what I can get out of it now.

1.8. I like the Nitto's on the street, but they're not good track tires. If I can cut a 1.5 or less, it'll be in the mid to low 11's.

Is it stock block?(pistons out of hole/ in the hole/ level etc...) whats the Dynamic and Static compression? Were the heads milled any at all I.E. trying to figure combustion chamber size for compression numbers. What type or compressed gasket size you using ?I.E. to find out total quench #'s. All of these numbers play a big role. If everything stock and bolt on etc... i would jump off to say around 430-440 like alot of these guys sayin. make sure you post for us when u get the numbers. i am interested myself! These guessing games are always fun

The car is still in the makes of getting assembled. Goes in for the tune 3/2/2009.. I will post dynograph up when were done. Waiting on a few parts from tsp. Waiting for the lifters and stall to show up still. Also the FAST 90/90 is going to be getting ported so hopefully he'll pick a few extra ponies up for it.
