Default Raced a Gt500

Ive got a 2008 a6 vette with bolt ons and a tune. The guy had a whipple supercharger, cams, full exhaust, and runing 14psi. We raced from a 20 punch and I got the jump but until about 90 and then he passed me by beating me by 1.25 car lengths by 120. He went passed me pretty good at 90 but wasnt pulling to hard aftwards. What type of power are these gt500 putting down wtih those mods? It seems like he should have demolished me but the guy also sayed he demolished the tires through 2nd. I was on street tires and he was on radials. It was a good raced, guess its true what they say, anthing can happen on the streets!

"Anything can happen on the streets" ftw! Not too hard to believe since those GT500's are really crappy at putting the power down even stock. There was a 600+rwhp one at the track whose best time (on ET streets) was an 11.5 at 135?mph. His 3 other runs were all in the low 12's!

Come to think of it, that 600+rwhp one above had similiar mods to what you listed.

I do believe most whipple gt500s are between the 625-750 range.

My friend's 08 made 608 rwhp with ported stock blower, upper and lower pulleys, aftermarket heat exchanger, and cold air kit through completely stock exhaust. I would think a whipple with cams should be over 700 rwhp.
